Biden introduced a 'red line' to Israel over the Rafah operation, prompting mixed reactions. Israeli participation in Rafah hasn't caused a policy shift yet, as per the White House.
Progressive Democrats support Biden's stance, emphasizing the need to review aid to Israel for humanitarian reasons.
Republican criticism surfaced over Biden's stance on withholding weapons if Israel enters Rafah, labeling it as betrayal and unacceptable.
Historically, U.S. presidents like Eisenhower have used threats of aid withholding to influence Israel's actions, such as during the Suez Crisis in the 1950s.
