The US says the Rafah operation will 'weaken' Israel's position in Hamas talks

US State Department spokesperson Matthew Miller stated on Thursday that Washington believes any major military operation in Rafah will undermine Israel's position in hostage negotiations with Hamas.

Miller mentioned that Washington is still in communication with Israel regarding amendments to the proposed ceasefire presented by Hamas, adding that efforts are underway to finalize the agreement text, but it is "extremely challenging" work.
