Netanyahu vows to enter Rafah 'with or without' cease-fire
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has vowed to go ahead with plans for a ground offensive on Gaza's southern city of Rafah "with or without" a cease-fire deal.
Speaking on Tuesday, Netanyahu vowed to enter Rafah to eliminate the Palestinian, militant group Hamas. His comments came as Hamas was studying an Israeli truce proposal that could see a halt in the Gaza fighting and the release of Israeli hostages currently held in Gaza.
"The idea that we will stop the war before achieving all its objectives is out of the question," Netanyahu said, according to a statement from his office.
Rafah, which lies on the border with Egypt, currently houses some 1.4 million Palestinians, most of whom are taking shelter there after having fled the fighting in other parts of the strip.
The UN, several aid organizations and Israeli allies including the US have warned against an Israeli ground offensive there, amid concern for the civilian population. However, Israel insists it is the last stronghold of Hamas in the Gaza.
