Two recent virtual meetings between U.S. and Israeli officials had a lot of "back and forth" on how to proceed in Rafah, White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said Friday.
"We've expressed our concerns with a major ground invasion in Rafah. We've been very clear about that," Jean-Pierre said, adding that the U.S. has presented "an alternative course for Israel to dismantle Hamas."
"We believe Israel will take our concerns on board. They will take into account our consideration as they plan their their next operations," she said.
