Israeli forces are advancing on the southern Gazan metropolis of Rafah, aiming to destroy what Israeli officers have referred to as the final vital Hamas stronghold. In the meantime, fierce battles are flaring up in opposition to the militant group in beforehand cleared areas within the north. U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken instructed CBS’s “Face the Nation” on Sunday that any Israeli conquest of Rafah is “not sustainable” and not using a credible plan for postwar Gaza. “Numerous armed Hamas might be left it doesn’t matter what they do in Rafah,” he stated.
