, White House national security spokesperson John Kirby said on Sunday. Israel's military is poised to evacuate Palestinian civilians from Rafah and assault

hold-outs there, a senior Israeli defence official said on Wednesday. "They've assured us that they won't go into Rafah until we've had a chance to really share our perspectives and our concerns with them," Kirby told ABC.

Earlier on Sunday, Palestinian Prez Mahmoud Abbas said only the US can stop Israel attacking Rafah. "We call on the USA to ask Israel to not carry on the Rafah attack. America is the only country able to prevent Israel from committing this crime," Abbas told a special meeting of the World Economic Forum in Riyadh.
A Hamas delegation, meanwhile, will visit Cairo Monday for talks aimed at securing a ceasefire, a Hamas official said on Sunday. Israel's foreign minister said on Saturday that

Rafah raid

could be put off should a deal emerge to release the Israeli hostages.
