US Secretary of State Antony Blinken warns against a full-scale ground offensive on Gaza's Rafah, cautioning it could deepen Israel's international isolation.
A full-scale ground offensive against Gaza's Rafah would further isolate Israel internationally, US Secretary of State Antony Blinken said on Friday.
"We share Israel's goal of defeating Hamas... A major military ground operation in Rafah is not the way to do it," he told reporters in Israel. "It risks further isolating Israel around the world."
