Netanyahu vows Rafah invasion ‘with or without a deal’, José Andrés called on IDF to expand protection to aid workers

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Tuesday said Israel will invade the southern Gaza city of Rafah, regardless of whether a cease-fire and hostage release deal is met. José Andrés, celebrity chef and founder of nonprofit World Central Kitchen (WCK), called on Israel to “step up” in a new op-ed, where he said his organization will resume aid trips in Gaza after seven workers were killed. In the piece, Andrés said returning to Gaza is both the hardest and easiest decision to make, because his employees were killed April 1 but because the need for food is so great.
