US President Joe Biden spoke on Sunday with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and "reiterated his clear position" on a possible invasion of the Gaza border city of Rafah, the White House said, according to Reuters.

A statement issued by the White House did not give more details of that part of the conversation. Washington has said that it could not support a Rafah operation without an appropriate and credible humanitarian plan.

Speaking earlier, White House national security spokesperson John Kirby said Israel had agreed to listen to U.S. concerns and thoughts before it launches an invasion.
