Israel–Hamas war, Netanyahu: “We will enter Rafah regardless of the agreement”

Israeli troops will enter Rafah regardless of any agreement with Hamas on the release of hostages, the Israeli prime minister has said. The US administration plans to send weapons to Israel worth an estimated tens of millions of dollars, despite the US itself pushing for a temporary ceasefire in Gaza. Hamas replies that, for the purposes of a possible agreement, it will accept “nothing other than a complete end to the aggression”
