Israel undertaking a major Rafah operation will not advance the objective of both Washington and Tel Aviv of defeating the Hamas Palestinian militant group in Gaza, White House national security spokesman John Kirby said.
"Smashing into Rafah, in his view, will not advance that objective," Kirby said in a briefing with reporters.
