U.S. Policy Shift on Gaza War
The U.S. is shifting its policy on the Gaza war by aiming to 'degrade' Hamas instead of 'defeating' it. President Biden shares Israel's goal of defeating Hamas but believes in a sustainable strategy. Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu insists on entering Rafah to defeat Hamas. The U.S. is looking for alternative approaches to target key elements of Hamas without a major ground operation in Rafah.
