JERUSALEM, May 1 (Xinhua) -- U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken said on Wednesday that the United States opposed the Israeli plan to launch a large-scale ground assault on Rafah. In a meeting with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in Jerusalem, the U.S. diplomat insisted that the Israeli side should first provide an appropriate humanitarian plan for the approximately 1.2 million displaced people in Gaza's southernmost city before mounting an attack.
