Tehran, IRNA – The Zionist regime will not conduct a ground assault on Rafah in the near future given the disagreements between the officials of the regime, according to Lebanese news television channel Al Mayadeen.

In a report on Friday night, Al Mayadeen said disagreements have intensified among the political and military authorities of Tel Aviv regarding the ground invasion of Rafah due to the pressures of the international community and even the occupying regime’s allies.

It came after US President Joe Biden warned Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu against military aggression against Rafah.

A White House statement said that in their phone call, Biden “reiterated his view that a military operation should not proceed without a credible and executable plan for ensuring the safety of and support for the civilians in Rafah.”

Egypt has also warned that any ground assault on Rafah would have “disastrous consequences” and that the Zionist regime’s plan to force the Palestinians out of their land would threaten the 40-year-old Camp David peace accord between Cairo and Tel Aviv.

Other countries, including the UK, Australia, Canada, New Zealand, Spain, Ireland, Belgium and South Korea, have also warned that the occupying regime’s planned operation would have a “devastating” impact on the Palestinians taking refuge in the area.
