Netanyahu vows to invade Rafah despite truce negotiations
The Associated Press — April 30, 2024, 01:00 PM UTC
Summary: Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu vows to enter Gaza's Rafah city to eliminate Hamas' battalions, regardless of a truce deal. The U.S., Egypt, and Qatar are brokering a deal to release hostages in exchange for a six-week ceasefire. The war has killed over 34,000 Palestinians and displaced 80% of Gaza's population. Netanyahu faces pressure from hard-line Cabinet members to invade Rafah, Hamas' stronghold. Netanyahu's support has declined in opinion polls since the war began.
