Former Israeli commander: Netanyahu is lying about Rafah. Calls for an agreement that would exempt Israel from waging a major war against Hezbollah in which it would pay very high prices.
Threat to invade Rafah sparked disputes between Israel and its main ally, Washington. He expected limited operations in Rafah, not similar to the major attacks launched in the Gaza Strip in the first five months of the Israeli aggression. The former military official said that Israel cannot and does not want to go to war in the current situation.
