Israel Commits to Limit Rafah Operation, Grant Control of Crossing With Egypt to Private U.S. Firm
Prior to the ground invasion of Rafah, Israel made it clear in talks that the operation's objective is to exert pressure on Hamas in the hostage negotiations and to harm the crossing's reputation as a symbol of Hamas power
