Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said that preparations were under way for the invasion of Rafah but that such an action “will take some time”.

More than one million displaced Palestinians have sought shelter in the city since the Israel invasion of Gaza in late October, weeks after the war began.
