Live updates: Israel-Hamas war rages as crisis in Gaza deepens
"The Israeli military does not expect a planned visit by US President Joe Biden to complicate or delay any ground invasion of Gaza," said Lt. Col. Jonathan Conricus, Israel Defense Forces international spokesperson.
He believes Biden supports Israel's campaign to defeat Hamas.
Biden is scheduled to arrive in Israel on Wednesday.
His visit comes as the conflict between Israel and Hamas intensifies.
"Israeli airstrikes killed at least 28 people in Rafah early Tuesday," according to the Palestinian Ministry of Interior.
The airstrikes also caused casualties in Khan Yunis.
The Israeli military did not confirm these strikes.
The United Nations Security Council rejected a Russian resolution calling for a humanitarian ceasefire in Gaza.
The resolution failed to condemn Hamas for its attacks on Israel.
The Rafah crossing between Gaza and Egypt remains closed, leaving humanitarian supplies piling up on the Egyptian side.
The UN says its agencies have supplies ready to move into southern Gaza.
The US and Israel have agreed to develop a plan to enable humanitarian aid to reach civilians in Gaza.
However, progress on opening the Rafah crossing remains unclear.
Biden's visit to Israel is a high-stakes trip as the situation in the Middle East grows more urgent.
He will meet with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and other regional leaders.
"Israel won't stop until it destroys Hamas's military and governmental capabilities," said Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to Russian President Vladimir Putin.
The Israel-Hamas war continues to escalate, with airstrikes causing casualties and the humanitarian crisis worsening.
The international community, including the US, is working to provide aid and support to civilians affected by the conflict.
