"Netanyahu Stands Firm on Rafah Assault Despite U.S. Opposition"
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu rejects U.S. pressure to abandon plans to invade Rafah, vowing to press ahead with an attack on the southern Gaza city, where more than 1 million displaced people have fled since the start of the war. The United States and Israel are at odds over the handling of the war in Gaza, with Netanyahu insisting that there is "no way" to eliminate remaining Hamas battalions in Rafah without a ground incursion. The tensions over Rafah come as new cease-fire talks are underway in Qatar, with hopes that mediators can get Israel and Hamas to agree to a deal that includes a pause in fighting for the release of some hostages and Palestinian prisoners.
