State Dept.: US Has Not Been Briefed on Date for Israel's Rafah Invasion

The U.S. has not been briefed on a date for Israel's invasion of Rafah, State Department spokesperson Matthew Miller said on Monday, after Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said that a date has been set.

Miller told reporters at a regular news briefing that Washington does not want to see a full scale invasion of Rafah, Gaza's last refuge for displaced Palestinians, in any event.
