    Blinken says U.S. won't back Rafah incursion without "credible plan" to protect civilians

    Washington — Secretary of State Antony Blinken said on Sunday that the U.S. "will not support" an Israeli military operation in the southern city of Rafah without a "credible plan to protect civilians."

    "From day one, President Biden has been determined to support Israel in defending itself and trying to make sure that Oct. 7 never happens again," Blinken said on "Face the Nation" on Sunday. "At the same time, he's been very clear that in doing that it's imperative that Israel protect civilians and make sure that humanitarian assistance gets to those who need it."
