Israeli Defense Minister Tells Austin, No Date Yet for Rafah Invasion

April 10, 2024 (EIRNS)—The Times of Israel, citing “a source familiar with the matter,” reports this morning that Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant told Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin during a phone call on April 8 that Israel has not set a date for the launch of a major ground offensive on Rafah, thus contradicting the video statement made by Benjamin Netanyahu, in which he said a date had been set.
