Halifax police investigating Monday morning Dartmouth death as suspicious | SaltWire #newsupdateWASHINGTON - U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken will likely discuss U.S. concerns over Israel's planned military operation in Rafah with visiting Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant on Monday, the State Department said.

Rafah will be the subject of conversations in Blinken's meetings with Gallant and other Israeli officials on Monday and Tuesday, but a detailed presentation on concerns was not part of the plan for the meeting with Gallant. The U.N. Security Council demanded an immediate ceasefire between Israel and the Palestinian militant group Hamas on Monday as Israeli forces carried out new airstrikes in Gaza and laid siege to two hospitals.

Netanyahu, whose relationship with Washington has been strained by the ferocity of Israel's offensive in Gaza, said following the U.N. vote that he would not now follow through on plans to send a delegation to Washington on Rafah.
