US Backs Israel's "Limited" Rafah Operation, Hamas Says "Ball In Netanyahu's Court" On Ceasefire

Hamas official Osama Hamdan has warned that if Israel's military aggression continues in Rafah there will be no ceasefire deal. Hamdan's comments came as a delegation from Hamas arrived in Cairo from Doha to continue ceasefire talks. He said the ceasefire proposal which Hamas agreed to "represents the minimum that responds to the demands of our people and our resistance."
He also said militant group would not respond to military pressure and would not accept any “occupying force” at the Rafah crossing.
Israeli forces seized the main border crossing between Egypt and southern Gaza on May 7. The move has shut down a vital aid route into the Palestinian enclave that is already on the brink of famine.
