An all-out Israeli offensive on the Gaza city of Rafah would provoke “anarchy” without eliminating Hamas, the US secretary of state said on Sunday, while agreeing that Israeli forces had killed more civilians than Hamas militants. “Israel’s on the trajectory, potentially, to inherit an insurgency with many armed Hamas left or, if it leaves, a vacuum filled by chaos, filled by anarchy and probably refilled by Hamas,” Secretary Antony Blinken told NBC’s “Meet the Press.” Asked on CBS whether the US concurred with a statement from Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu that Israeli forces had killed more civilians than Hamas militants…
