“Biden said he had a red line, remember the red line? He said, if Netanyahu dares go into Rafah, that’s a red line, we the United States will stop sending weapons to Israel,” said Brian Becker, executive director of the Answer Coalition, said during the plenary session entitled “How Do Movements Achieve Transformation?”
