Israeli Tanks Roll into Gaza Seizing Control of Rafah Border Crossing | EWTN News Nightly

Israeli tanks rolled into Gaza seizing control of the Rafah border crossing. Senior Fellow for Middle East and Africa Studies and Director at the Council on Foreign Relations, Steven Cook, joins to share if this is the start of the long-awaited offensive or another warning sign from Israel. Much of the West, including the US have pleaded with Israel not to move forward with an attack on Rafah. Cook discusses whether he thinks Netanyahu will oblige. On Monday, we saw the back and forth on a ceasefire agreement. Cook tells us whether he thinks we're getting closer to a deal or whether this is all a bit of showmanship from the 2 sides. After Hamas agreed to the Qatari and Egyptian led proposal, it was reported that some hostage families urged Netanyahu to take the deal. Cook explains how much sway these families have on Israeli decision making.
