Israel has set a date for the offensive in Rafah, the last refuge for displaced Palestinians in Gaza.
This was stated by the Prime Minister of Israel, Benjamin Netanyahu, quoted by Reuters. However, he did not reveal the specific date, as negotiations with Hamas on a ceasefire are ongoing.
We are constantly working to achieve our goals, above all the release of all our hostages and achieving a complete victory over Hamas, Netanyahu stressed.
This victory requires entering Rafah and eliminating the terrorist battalions there, he insists.
We remind you that the US has repeatedly warned Israel to refrain from the offensive in Rafah. A similar position was expressed by other countries, including Italy.
