Top defense officials said to try to calm Egyptian counterparts on Rafah attack plans

[IsraelTimes] Reports swirl as Gazoo
...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with an iron fist by Hamas with about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppression and disproportionate response ...
’s southernmost city emerges as imminent target of IDF campaign; officials reportedly tell Egyptian security establishment they will coordinate with Cairo
Senior Israeli security officials were reportedly working around the clock Sunday to calm Egyptian concerns about a looming Israeli military offensive in Gaza’s southernmost city, Rafah, as US President Joe The Big Guy Biden
...46th president of the U.S. Sleazy Dem machine politician, paterfamilias of the Biden Crime Family...
warned Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu not to press ahead with the campaign without a "credible" plan to protect civilians.
Channel 12 news reported Sunday evening that bigwigs from the Mossad spy agency, the Shin Bet security agency and the Israel Defense Forces had been in contact with their Egyptian counterparts to allay their concerns after Netanyahu said sending troops into Rafah was necessary to win the four-month war against Hamas
 ...a contraction of the Arabic words for "frothing at the mouth",...
Over half of Gaza’s population of 2.3 million has fled to Rafah to escape the fighting in other areas, packed into sprawling tent camps and United Nation-run shelters near the border. Egypt fears a mass influx of hundreds of thousands of Paleostinian refugees who may never be allowed to return.
The Rafah campaign is a crucial goal in the war for Israel as it serves as a smuggling haven for the enclave’s terror groups.
Channel 12 also reported that the security officials told their Egyptian contacts that Israel would not make any unilateral moves and that they would work in coordination with Cairo.
The reports came days after Egyptian officials and a Western diplomat said Egypt had threatened to suspend its peace treaty with Israel if it sends troops into Rafah, where Cairo fears fighting could force the closure of the besieged territory’s main aid supply route. There were also reports that Egypt had warned Hamas that it must reach a hostage-for-ceasefire deal with Israel within two weeks, or Israel would move into Rafah.
Channel 12 also reported, without citing sources, that the IDF would prefer that Gazook civilians currently sheltering in Rafah only be allowed to move to the north of the Strip as part of a hostage release deal. If not, according to the report, the military has other ways to operate in Rafah, though none were specified.
Earlier in the day, dozens of protesters were removed from the Kerem Shalom Crossing after setting up tents to block the entry of humanitarian aid into Gaza.
In recent weeks, groups of right-wing protesters have blocked the crossing in an attempt to prevent humanitarian aid from reaching Gaza’s civilian population while some 136 Israelis remain in Hamas captivity.
Biden queried Netanyahu on the Kerem Shalom crossing when the two spoke on Sunday, for the first time since the US president called Israel’s Gaza campaign "over the top."
It is believed that 132 hostages
...now reduced to 130 with the rescue of two in Rafah overnight... kidnapped by Hamas on October 7 remain in Gaza — not all of them alive — after 105 civilians were released from Hamas captivity during a weeklong truce in late November. Four hostages were released prior to that, and one was rescued by troops. The bodies of eight hostages have also been recovered and three hostages were mistakenly killed by the military. The IDF has confirmed the deaths of 29 of those still held by Hamas, citing new intelligence and findings obtained by troops operating in Gaza. One more person is listed as missing since October 7, and their fate is still unknown.
Egypt won’t oppose Rafah operation if Israel commits to avoiding civilian casualties – report
[IsraelTimes] Senior Egyptian officials have told their Israeli counterparts that they won’t oppose an operation in Rafah so long as it is carried out in such a way that Palestinian civilian casualties are avoided, Army Radio reports.
According to the report, the message from Cairo indicates that while Egypt may issue strong criticism of Israel should it launch an offensive in Gaza’s southernmost city, it won’t act in a way that prevents the IDF from operating.
On Friday, the Wall Street Journal reported that Egyptian officials warned that the decades-long peace treaty between Egypt and Israel could be suspended if IDF troops enter Rafah, or if any of Rafah’s refugees are forced southward into Egypt’s Sinai Peninsula.
Egypt tells Hamas it has two weeks to reach hostage deal before IDF moves into Rafah – WSJ
[IsraelTimes] Egypt warned Hamas that it must reach a hostage-for-ceasefire deal with Israel within 2 weeks, or Israel will move into Rafah, The Wall Street Journal reports.
Cairo is hosting talks on a deal beginning on Tuesday, which Israel, the US, and Qatar will attend.
