US Secretary of State Antony Blinken has met with Benjamin Netanyahu in Tel Aviv, warning him against a potential invasion of Rafah, in Gaza’s south.

The Israeli Prime Minister says he’s already approved plans for a ground assault in Rafah where more than a million Palestinians are sheltering. It comes as US continues to push for a pause in fighting as well as the release of Israeli hostages.

Gershon Baskin shares with Fran Kelly of the Australian Broadcasting Corporation why the Rafah operation would be “catastrophic”.
