"Netanyahu Urges US Support for Rafah Offensive as Victory in Gaza Nears"
TL;DR
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu told a group of US members of Congress that victory in Gaza and getting Hamas' senior leadership in Rafah are just a few weeks away, emphasizing the country's "very existence" being on the line. Disagreements over the impending invasion of Rafah and the worsening humanitarian disaster in Gaza have strained relations between Netanyahu and US President Joe Biden, leading to the cancellation of a planned government delegation to Washington. US officials have urged Israel to find an alternative option to a major assault on Rafah, which would endanger civilians and exacerbate suffering.
