"Global Concerns Mount Over Israel's Planned Assault on Rafah"

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu stated that those cautioning against entering Rafah are essentially advocating for losing the war, emphasizing the need to get civilians out of harm's way while asserting that entering Rafah is crucial for Israel's war effort. This comes after Israel ordered evacuations of Rafah and faced criticism from the U.S. and Egypt over potential military action in the densely populated city. Netanyahu dismissed President Biden's comment that Israel's response in Gaza was "over the top," defending Israel's actions and pointing to Hamas' previous attack on Israel.
