In an interview aired on US network ABC on Sunday, Mr Netanyahu reiterated that Israeli forces would assault Rafah but insisted they were preparing "a detailed plan" for where civilians there could go.
"We're going to do it. We're going to get the remaining Hamas terrorist battalions in Rafah," he said, adding: "We're going to do it while providing safe passage for the civilian population."
However, others have cast doubt on the existence of a plan to evacuate civilians - or if one is actually possible.
Military analyst Professor Michael Clarke told Sky News that the offensive was days, or possibly weeks away.
He added: "They say there is (a plan) but we haven't seen what that plan may consist of.
"Most people think that this plan is more of a slogan than a real plan at the moment."
Prof Clarke said that negotiation, rather than military action, was "undoubtedly the best way to get more hostages out", despite an Israeli special forces raid that saw two hostages rescued."
the 1 million in rafah are at the mercy of israel tora and not of hamas... the IDF has a choice here. it has conquered all of gaza, destroyed virtually every home, dug up the cemeteries, destroyed hospitals and mosques... they are the ones in control here. they are responsible for what they choose to do next.
//hamas isn't that bothered about protecting them i suspect naomi//
I am also amazed that you have come out with that factual gem I suppose it's not too much to ask if you accept that Hamas have been using Gazan families with children as human shields, built control centres under hospitals and schools and launched rockets from heavily populated civilian sites as well as storing arms and munitions in hospitals and Mosques???
"built control centres under hospitals and schools"
israel has not provided any evidence that this happened in the case of al-shifa and has been caught lying about other medical facilities... so i have my doubts about that part. it is certainly true that hamas has hidden weapons in homes... i do not consider that justification for say blowing up an apartment complex while everyone is still inside
