Blinken said a major military operation by Israel in Gaza's city of Rafah would be
CAIRO – US Secretary of State Antony Blinken said Thursday a major military operation by Israel in Gaza's southernmost city of Rafah would be "a mistake", adding that a truce agreement was "possible".
Blinken also said there is "a better way to deal with the ongoing threat posed by Hamas" than Israel's plans for a major military operation in Rafah. "There is a false choice involved here ... Hamas can be effectively dealt with without a major ground operation in Rafah," Blinken continued. The bloodiest ever Gaza war broke out on October 7 after Hamas launched an unprecedented attack on Israel, resulting in about 1,160 deaths, according to an AFP tally of official figures.
"Israel must not carry out any military operation in Rafah, to avoid even more civilian victims and displacement," Shoukry said, reiterating Cairo's previous warnings against the forced displacement of Palestinians.
