Israel Has Set a Final Date For an Offensive Against Rafah Unless All Hostages Are Freed (Guest: Joshua Waller)

HaYovel Operations Director and The Israel Guys co-host Joshua Waller discusses the final date set by Israel, and what could come from it.

Israel may have reached a breaking point with their war against Hamas.

War cabinet member Benny Gantz recently noted that unless Hamas manages to free all its hostages in Gaza by March 10th, an offensive could be launched in Rafah.

This would be a huge strike against the city, considering that 1.5 million Palestinians are currently sheltered there.

Gantz noted, “The worst must know, and Hamas leaders must know – if by Ramadan our hostages are not home, the fighting will continue everywhere, to include the Rafah area.”

He also noted that Israel would act in a “coordinated manner, facilitating the evacuation of civilians in dialogue with our American and Egyptian partners to minimize civilian casualties.”

Joining us now to discuss this further is Joshua Waller. He serves as Operations Director for HaYovel, a group that specializes in calling for volunteers to assist with needs within Israel. He is also a co-host of The Israel Guys, and spends quite a bit of time discussing the good report of the Land within the United States. His expertise on all things Israel make him a great subject for this interview. Welcome, Joshua.
