Israel is aware that the world is up in arms over a potential Rafah operation, an Israeli official tells The Times of Israel.
The country is in talks with Egypt on Israel’s plans for evacuating civilians, the official adds.
Last night, the army presented Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu with a number of plans, including an evacuation of Rafah’s civilians to the Khan Younis area, but there has been no final decision made, according to the official.
“Everything in still in discussions,” the official explains.
