Netanyahu vows to ‘do our best’ to evacuate Rafah ahead of invasion: ‘They will have the opportunity to leave’ [Video]

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu vowed that civilians in Rafah will “have the opportunity to leave” ahead of Israel’s invasion of the city.

President Biden’s administration has repeatedly warned that the U.S. would not approve of any Rafah operation without a clear plan for protecting civilians in the city. Netanyahu argued in a Monday morning appearance on “Fox & Friends” that the Israeli military is setting the “gold standard” for protecting civilians while fighting terrorists embedded in populations.

“I can tell you that Hamas will be doing everything in their power to make sure that we don’t evacuate the civilians, because they actually try to stop them at gun point and often at gunfire, but that’s not gonna stop us,” Netanyahu said. “We’ll get the population out.”

Netanyahu went on to say that protecting civilians in Rafah is also an Israeli position, not just an American one.
