[HIGHLIGHTS] Despite Washington's warnings, Netanyahu renews his determination to invade Rafah

Despite Washington's warnings, Netanyahu renews his determination to invade Rafah. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu reiterated his intention to launch a ground operation in Rafah, south of the Gaza Strip.

Netanyahu said, "We will enter Rafah and achieve comprehensive victory," and pledged to eliminate Yahya Sinwar, head of the Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas) in Gaza. The Hamas movement considered that Netanyahu’s insistence on invading the city of Rafah represented a “defiance” of all international warnings.
