Israel Prime Minister will ignore Joe Biden’s “red line” in his war against Hamas by proceeding with an invasion of the Palestinian city of Rafah, he announced on Sunday.

In an interview with Politico, Netanyahu confirmed that he would proceed with an invasion of the  Rafah on the southern border of the Gaza Strip with Egypt, disregarding Biden’s protests on the matter.
