White House National Security Council spokesperson John Kirby says the US hopes to hold a follow-up meeting later this week to the virtual one held earlier this month, with top Israeli officials regarding a potential IDF invasion of Rafah.

The sides were supposed to hold an in-person meeting in Washington, but that appears to be up in the air, following the weekend strike by Iran on Israel.
