President Biden has issued a “red line” warning to Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu regarding military actions in Gaza, specifically concerning the invasion of Rafah. The President’s warning reflects strained relations but lacks clarity on consequences if the line is crossed. This tactic has historical precedents with Barack Obama and George W. Bush facing challenges with drawing red lines. Netanyahu responded, highlighting his own red line in reference to past deadly attacks. This exchange reveals a complex dynamic between allies navigating a delicate situation in the Middle East.
