Breaking News: Netanyahu Cancels Visit to Washington After U.S. Abstains from U.N. Vote on Gaza Ceasefire

Reuters |

🔴 The White House expresses "very disappointed" as Netanyahu scraps high-level Israeli delegation's visit to D.C. This comes after the U.S. abstained from a crucial U.N. vote demanding an immediate ceasefire in Gaza.

🔻 "It's disappointing," says White House spokesperson John Kirby. The cancellation prevents crucial discussions on alternatives to a ground offensive in Rafah, leaving civilians at risk.

🤝 Despite the cancellation, U.S. officials will still meet with Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant to discuss critical issues like hostages, humanitarian aid, and civilian protection in Rafah.

🔥 U.S. policy remains firm: a major ground offensive in Rafah would be a grave mistake. Washington says it “will continue to voice concerns about Israeli policies in Gaza”.
