Netanyahu asks the Israeli army for an "evacuation" plan for Rafah civilians. "It is impossible to achieve the objective of the war without eliminating Hamas and leaving four Hamas battalions in Rafah," Netanyahu's office said in a statement.
Last Wednesday, Netanyahu rejected a Hamas truce proposal, related to the agreement outlined and agreed on January 28 at the meeting held in Paris between the United States, Qatar, Egypt and Israel. "Surrendering to the delirious demands of Hamas does not lead to the release of the hostages," he stated.
