Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Tuesday slammed Hamas’s latest ceasefire proposal as an insincere offer and choreographed public relations move meant to stall Israel’s planned ground offensive in Rafah. 

“Hamas’s proposal yesterday was meant to torpedo the entry of our forces into Rafah,” he said in a video statement. “That did not happen.”
