Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said he would push ahead with a military offensive in Rafah, where 1.5 million displaced Palestinians are sheltering, despite US President Joe Biden's warning that doing so would be a "red line." Netanyahu did not provide specifics on the timeline. The US is not anticipating an imminent Israeli offensive into the southern city, US officials told CNN.

The Israeli leader's remarks come as the holy month of Ramadan begins and ceasefire talks stall.
