- Israel and Hamas are engaged in tense cease-fire talks despite fighting in Rafah.
- Israeli PM Netanyahu rejected the latest proposal, saying it fell "very far" from Israel's demands.
- Israel wants to keep its right to conduct more operations in Gaza, an analyst told Al-Jazeera.
Cease-fire talks to end the fighting in Gaza are still taking place in the background, despite Israel's military incursion into Rafah.
Negotiators from both Israel and Hamas are in Cairo, having arrived hours after Israeli tanks and troops entered the city of Rafah, according to The New York Times.
