The head of “Israel’s” internal security service “Shin Bet” Ronen Bar, along with “Israeli” army Chief of Staff Herzi Halevi visited Egypt on Wednesday morning to meet with Director of the Egyptian General Intelligence Directorate, Abbas Kamel, to discuss the looming offensive on the southern border city of Rafah - per Axios.

Egyptian officials previously warned “Israel” of invading Rafah, saying that it would lead to a “rupture in relations” and would jeopardize the peace treaty made between the two.

Several senior “Israeli” officials have stated that plans for the invasion of Rafah have already been drawn out. However, the Israeli Occupation is facing a lot of pushback from the United States, Western and neighboring countries in opposition to the plan.

The border city of Rafah currently houses a massive percentage of Gaza's displaced population - which is estimated at 2.1 million people before the start of the aggression, and any offensive by the Israeli Occupation Forces (IOF) would exacerbate the already staggering humanitarian crisis in the Gaza Strip.
