For months, the Biden administration claimed that Israel "did not present a credible plan" for the evacuation of the refugees from Rafah, and that the move would take many months. 12 days after the start of the IDF operation, close to a million refugees have already been evacuated at record speed and without any special problems.

By delaying the operation in Rafah, the Biden administration not only harmed Israel's security and violated its commitment to eliminate Hamas - it prolonged the war, prolonged the captivity of the abductees and the suffering of the Palestinian population, all in the name of narrow political interests.

This is not how an ally behaves, this is not how a statesman behaves, this is not how a friend behaves. This is what politicians do.
