In early February, Benjamin Netanyahu announced his intention to launch a large-scale operation in the city of Rafah on the border with Egypt. He instructed the army to provide a plan to evacuate the population and destroy the battalions of the Palestinian Hamas movement. The U.S. State Department said that the operation would be a disaster if it was carried out now. According to the UN, 1.4 million people are hiding in Rafah because of the war.
