US offered Israel no new intelligence to avert Rafah invasion: Blinken says

US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken denied that the Biden administration withheld intelligence from Israel regarding senior Hamas officials.

Blinken was responding to questions from US Senator Ted Cruz about reports that the administration was withholding intelligence on the whereabouts of senior Hamas officials.

“If we had the locations of course we’d provide them,” Blinken said.

“We have offered them [Israel] nothing, not to invade Rafah,” Blinken said.

Middle East Eye reported that the Biden administration is roughly one month behind tracking the location of Hamas’s Gaza Chief Yayha Sinwar.
