Why is Israel invading Rafah? Husam Zomlot speaks to LBC

A Gaza ceasefire would be possible tomorrow if Hamas freed Israeli hostages, US president Joe Biden has said.

Speaking at a fundraiser near Seattle on Saturday, Mr Biden said: "There would be a ceasefire tomorrow if Hamas would release the hostages.

"Israel said it’s up to Hamas, if they wanted to do it, we could end it tomorrow. And the ceasefire would begin tomorrow."

His remarks came after the IDF said it is expanding its operation and moving into an area in northern Gaza where Hamas has regrouped.

Amidst all of this, Lewis Goodall was joined by Palestine's ambassador to the UK, Husam Zomlot, to discuss the ongoings.
