A report alleges US President Joe Biden is scathing about Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu behind the scenes. Meanwhile, the Israeli military says it has rescued two hostages from captivity in Gaza - where dozens have been killed in strikes on the crowded city of Rafah.
More than a million Palestinians sheltering around the southern city of Rafah are braced for an offensive by the Israeli army, with nowhere left to flee inside Gaza.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says his office has ordered the Israel Defence Forces (IDF) to develop a plan to evacuate the city and destroy four Hamas battalions it claims are deployed there.
