Gaza: Israel PM says Rafah attack will go ahead ‘with or without’ truce deal | BBC News

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has said Israel will launch an invasion of the southern Gaza city of Rafah regardless of truce talks with Hamas.
The Hamas delegation are considering a new Gaza truce and hostage release proposal from Israel.
But at a meeting of hostages' relatives, Mr Netanyahu said he would invade "with or without" a deal.
The US has issued renewed warnings against a Rafah invasion, where more than a million displaced people are sheltering.

They would be banished from their land, scattered throughout all nations, not find a resting place for the soles of their feet, kicked out of many nations, be hunted and killed. Fortunately, the aliyah was also prophesied - they would be returned to Israel "never again to be uprooted from the land I have given them says the Lord" (Amos 9:15)
