I spoke to Thiam Seng Chua, the Foreign Desk Correspondent of local Chinese media outlet, Lianhe Zaobao, on the evolving situation in Rafah. US pressure on Netanyahu remains half-hearted, despite the political significance found in pausing weapon shipments. This adds to the Secretary of State’s admission that Israel lacks a “credible plan” to protect Palestinian civilians. Mr Biden himself is challenged on multiple fronts, from aid delivery to war objectives, and from his electoral base to a pro-Israel Congress.
