"Netanyahu Vows Israeli Entry into Rafah, Regardless of US Support"

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu stated that Israel will take action in Rafah, with or without U.S. support, in the ongoing conflict with Hamas. U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken warned Israel against a major ground operation in Rafah, emphasizing the need for a coherent plan and expressing concerns about a deepening humanitarian crisis in Gaza.
