Israel has given Hamas one week to agree to the hostage deal on the table or it will launch its long-pledged offensive in Gaza’s southernmost city of Rafah, according to the reports.
The report doesn’t specify when the ultimatum was given, but cites Egyptian officials speaking today, meaning Hamas would have until next Friday to agree to the deal.
On the other hand, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has been threatening to enter Rafah for months, claiming repeatedly during that period that an invasion was imminent.
