Even as Hamas has reportedly agreed to terms for a cease-fire to the war in Gaza, Israel is dismissing any talk about ending the war.

Israeli troops are moving forward with plans for a major offensive in the southern city of Rafah.

Shalom Lipner served as a policy advisor for seven different Israeli prime ministers. He tells us there's a whole lot of uncertainty about what comes next.

Lipner says if prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu goes forward with the attack on Rafah, it could get especially ugly for all sides.

Lipner does not believe that Hamas agreeing to a potential cease-fire will make much of a difference ... at least not in the short term.

While talks about a ceasefire continue.... Israel is warning Palestinians in Rafah to get out as soon as possible.
