"Rafah's Crucial Role in the Israel-Hamas Conflict"

Israel contemplates a pivotal operation in Rafah, Gaza, as it seeks a path to victory against Hamas, but faces international pressure and humanitarian concerns. Prime Minister Netanyahu insists on the necessity of taking Rafah, which is considered the hub of Hamas' terrorist activity, but discussions with the US and ongoing hostage negotiations complicate the situation. Without conquering Rafah, Israel may struggle to claim victory, but the humanitarian crisis and international pressure pose significant challenges to a potential operation.
