U.S. Administration Urges Israel to Address Hamas Fighters in Rafah

According to CNN, citing two Israeli sources, the Trump administration is applying pressure on the Israeli government to advance discussions regarding Hamas fighters in Rafah, located in the southern Gaza Strip.

One source noted that recent meetings have included proposals for relocating Hamas fighters to a third country, which could be part of a potential settlement aimed at ceasing military operations in the region.

The source also indicated that the U.S. is eager to progress to the next phase of negotiations, which involves addressing the situation of Hamas fighters in Rafah, amid a broader push for enhanced security and humanitarian agreements in the area.

These developments arise as international calls for a ceasefire intensify, alongside growing concerns over a humanitarian crisis in southern Gaza, where many families are enduring dire conditions and significant shortages of essential supplies.
