Israel officially announces its invasion of Palestinian Rafah and breaking the red lines

Updates on the Al-Aqsa Flood operation presented in this episode of Samri Channel.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said that he intends to move forward with his plans to invade Rafah in the southern Gaza Strip, in defiance of US President Joe Biden, who warned that such an attack would be a “red line.” Netanyahu added to the American news site Politico that “the red line for him is not to repeat the attack of last October 7,” that is, the “Al-Aqsa Flood” operation launched by the Palestinian resistance on the Gaza Strip, which inflicted great losses on Israel. Netanyahu added that Israel is “about to end the last part of the war,” and that the fighting will not take more than two months, “maybe 6 or 4 weeks,” according to his claim. He continued that he did not see any breakthrough in the negotiations with the Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas), and stressed that there would be no ceasefire without the release of detainees, which is consistent with the statements of the movement’s leaders that Israel is the one obstructing reaching an agreement to exchange prisoners and detainees. Netanyahu reaffirmed his position on rejecting the establishment of a Palestinian state, and also said that the overwhelming majority of Israelis after October 7 do not want to see that state, according to his claim, which is the issue that puts Israel in the face of most countries in the world that intensified their calls after the Israeli war on… Gaza to reach a two-state solution. The Israeli Prime Minister promised to return his citizens to their homes in the north, “whether by military or diplomatic means,” he said. Netanyahu indicated that delivering aid by sea to Gaza was his idea, denying the existence of famine in the Strip, despite the death of more than 25 residents of the Strip – including children – as a result of hunger and malnutrition, and the specter of famine looming over most of the Strip’s 2.2 million residents. Netanyahu also directly addressed the recent criticism of Biden, who said in an interview with MSNBC on Saturday evening that the Israeli prime minister was “doing more harm to Israel than good” by the way he managed the war in Gaza. Netanyahu responded by saying that he did not know “exactly what the president means,” adding, “If he means that I am pursuing special policies against the majority and against the desire of the majority of Israelis and that this harms Israel’s interests, then he is wrong on both counts.” The American President said the day before yesterday that Netanyahu is harming Israel by not making more efforts to avoid the killing of Palestinian civilians in Gaza, in light of the widening gap between the two parties.
