Israel Trying to Calm Egypt on Rafah Attack Plans
(Times of Israel) Senior Israeli security officials are working to calm Egyptian concerns about a coming Israeli military offensive in Rafah, Israel's Channel 12 reported Sunday. Over half of Gaza's population has fled to Rafah to escape the fighting in other areas, and Egypt fears that fighting there will result in a mass influx of hundreds of thousands of Palestinians into Egyptian Sinai. Israeli security officials told the Egyptians that Israel would not make any unilateral moves and would work in coordination with Cairo.
