– Netanyahu Says Date Set For Rafah Ground Offensive:
https://archive.is/QOEt0
Update(1615ET): Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Monday that a date has been set for the planned Israeli military ground offensive against the southern city of Rafah. His statement comes less than 24 hours after the IDF announced it is in the process of pulling troops from Khan Younis.
“Today I received a detailed report on the talks in Cairo, we are constantly working to achieve our goals, first and foremost the release of all our hostages and achieving a complete victory over Hamas,” Netanyahu said in a video message on X.
“This victory requires entry into Rafah and the elimination of the terrorist battalions there. It will happen, there is a date,” he added. However, the Biden administration has as yet not been satisfied with an Israeli plan to evacuate civilians first. Biden and Netanyahu are still openly at odds over the planned Rafah offensive.
Part of Biden’s Democratic base is in revolt over the Rafah situation, and the White House is under pressure. Increasingly, people have seen through the Biden administration’s meaningless expresses of ‘concern’ over the soaring civilian death toll in Gaza.
