Netanyahu Says Date Set for Rafah Invasion—Although Defense Minister Says It’s Not—to Maintain Control Over Coalition: Analyst

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says a date for the operation has been set, but Defense Minister Yoav Gallant has informed the United States to the contrary. NTD speaks to Gerard Filitti, a civil and human rights attorney and senior counsel at The Lawfare Project, who says Mr. Netanyahu’s assertion that a date has been set is an effort to maintain control over his coalition.
