Possible Rafah offensive: Blinken demands Netanyahu plan to protect civilians. Israel suspects there is a stronghold of Hamas fighters there and has already attacked the city from the air in recent days.

After Hamas's attack on Israel, Netanyahu stated that the goal was to destroy Hamas. Meanwhile, Senator Schumer is receiving support from Joe Biden for his angry speech against Netanyahu. "He gave a good speech and I think he expressed serious concerns," said US President Biden after a meeting with Irish Prime Minister Leo Varadkar in Washington.
