Israeli official: PM won't grant 'safe passage for 200 terrorists' trapped in Rafah, contrary to report

Israeli officials have denied reports suggesting that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu would allow safe passage for two hundred Hamas operatives trapped in Rafah. Earlier, local media claimed that Israel might approve their movement into Hamas-controlled territory if the fighters surrendered their weapons. However, government sources clarified that no such agreement is being considered, emphasizing the prime minister's commitment to disarming Hamas and maintaining security for Israeli forces. The issue has sparked debate among Israeli leaders, with some expressing strong opposition to any potential deal.
