President Biden is slated to deliver remarks Friday on the tensions in the Middle East.

The remarks come after Israel's military confirmed that its forces are operating in central parts of Rafah in its expanding offensive in the southern Gaza city.

During his commencement address at Morehouse College earlier this month, Biden decried the “humanitarian crisis in Gaza."

“What’s happening in Gaza and Israel is heartbreaking. Hamas’s vicious attack on Israel, killing innocent lives and holding people hostage … innocent Palestinians caught in the middle of all this,” Biden told the crowd of graduates at the historically Black, all-male college in Atlanta. 

Biden is expected to speak on Friday at 12:30 p.m. EDT.
