There\u2019s nowhere for those folks to go. And we\u2019re looking at about 1.5 million people in Rafah who were there because they were told to go there, most of them. And so we\u2019ve been very clear that it would be a mistake to move into Rafah with any type of military operation.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">When pressed about whether there would be consequences if Israel moves forward with eliminating Hamas inside Rafah, Harris responded: \u201cWell, we\u2019re going to take it one step at a time, but we\u2019ve been very clear in terms of our perspective on whether or not that should happen.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">Scott again pushed Harris to answer the question.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cI am ruling out nothing,\u201d Harris responded.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">Fetterman fired back on X, \u201cHard disagree.
