At the Pentagon Tuesday, Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin presented an alternative vision to Israel's stated plan to assault Rafah, the city in southern Gaza where more than one million Gazans have fled. The discussion between Austin and Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant came as negotiations over a cease-fire and hostage release hit an apparent impasse. Nick Schifrin reports.
