Joe Biden maintient fermement son visage de fermeté. Le président américain a réitéré lundi sa « position claire » au Premier ministre israélien Benjamin Netanyahou contre toute offensive terrestre à Rafah, a indiqué la Maison Blanche, dans un communiqué rendant compte de l’appel téléphonique entre les deux dirigeants.

Dans cet appel téléphonique, Netanyahou a, par ailleurs, promis au président américain de maintenir ouvert Kerem Shalom, principal point de passage depuis Israël de l’aide humanitaire dans la bande de Gaza, et visé dimanche par des roquettes tirées par le Hamas.

Cet appel – qui aurait duré 30 minutes environ selon Reuters – intervient au moment où Israël prépare une offensive d’ampleur à Rafah, dans le sud de la bande de Gaza, malgré les avertissements répétés des États-Unis. Le président américain reçoit à la Maison Blanche lundi le roi Abdallah II de Jordanie, un allié clé.

Négociations sur les otages

Au cours de l’entretien, Biden et Netanyahou ont également évoqué les négociations en cours sur les otages et l’offensive imminente sur Rafah, selon Axios.

Biden avait déclaré au Premier ministre israélien en avril qu’une invasion de Rafah serait une « erreur », et Washington a clairement indiqué qu’il ne soutenait pas une offensive sans un plan crédible pour protéger les civils qui s’y abritent.

Rafah, à la lisière sud de la bande de Gaza, est transformée en un gigantesque camp de réfugiés abritant, selon l’ONU, 1,2 million de Palestiniens, soit la moitié de la population du territoire, pour la plupart des déplacés.

En dépit des condamnations internationales, le Premier ministre israélien a promis de lancer cette offensive, indispensable selon lui pour détruire les derniers bataillons du mouvement islamiste dans le territoire palestinien.
