Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu pledges to invade the Gaza city of Rafah, where many Palestinians seek shelter, as cease-fire negotiations progress. Amid warnings from the US and others against risking civilian lives, Netanyahu insists on destroying Hamas' battalions in Rafah. Talks, facilitated by the US, Egypt, and Qatar, aim to secure the release of hostages and avert further conflict. However, Netanyahu's nationalist allies pressure him not to agree to a deal that may prevent an invasion. The war, sparked by a deadly raid, has claimed thousands of lives and displaced many in Gaza, escalating humanitarian concerns.
