[FAZ] According to media reports, Israel's Defence Minister Joav Galant has told his US counterpart Llyod Austin that there is no date yet for a ground offensive against the city of Rafah in the Gaza Strip. Galant thus contradicted the statement by his Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, the Israeli newspapers Haaretz, Times of Israel and the news portal Axios reported unanimously on Tuesday evening, citing informed sources.
On Monday, Netanyahu had publicly stated that the date for the planned offensive in the city of Rafah on the border with Egypt, which is currently overcrowded with hundreds of thousands of refugees, had been finalised. Galant, however, reportedly said in a telephone call with Austin that Israel was still finalising plans for the evacuation of the civilian population there.
