Israel cancels delegation to Washington to discuss alternatives to Rafah attack

Jerusalem, Mar 25 (UNI) Israel canceled on Monday a scheduled delegation's trip to Washington, citing the U.S. decision not to veto a United Nations Security Council resolution for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza as the reason.
The delegation, headed by Israel's Strategic Affairs Minister Ron Dermer, was supposed to discuss with the Biden administration alternatives to Israel's planned ground attack in Rafah, Gaza's southernmost city where over 1.3 million displaced Palestinians are seeking refuge from bombardments elsewhere.
With 14 in favor and no votes against, the UN Security Council adopted a resolution that calls for an immediate ceasefire during the Muslim holy month of Ramadan and the immediate release of all hostages.
