And Israel isn’t participating in the talks
AA
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu vowed Tuesday to invade Rafah in the southern Gaza Strip despite reports of a possible cease-fire deal with Hamas.
“The idea that we will stop the war before achieving all its objectives is out of the question,” Netanyahu said during a meeting with families of Israeli soldiers, as quoted in a statement from his office.
He said the Israeli army would enter Rafah to destroy Hamas’ battalions there “with or without a deal.”
Netanyahu said the evacuation of civilians from Rafah has begun.
“We have begun the evacuation of the population in Rafah. We will be there soon,” he added.
Home to more than 1.4 million displaced Palestinians, Rafah is the last remaining area in the Gaza Strip where Israel has not yet formally announced the entry of its troops to continue the onslaught against Palestinians.
