"A mistake, but would there be consequences if [Netanyahu] does move forward?" Scott pressed.
"We're going to take it one step at a time, but we've been very clear in terms of our perspective on whether or not [an invasion] should happen," Harris responded.
"Are you ruling out that there would be consequences from the United States?" Scott pressed again.
"I am ruling out nothing," Harris said.
The exchange comes days after Netanyahu vowed Israel would move forward with an invasion with or without U.S. support on Friday.
Netanyahu nevertheless agreed to send a high-level delegation to meet with White House officials this week to determine whether a compromise can be made.

Netanyahu said he told Secretary of State Antony Blinken that Israel is working on ways to evacuate civilians from combat zones and to address the humanitarian needs of Gaza. Nevertheless, he said an invasion of Rafah is imminent.

"I also said that we have no way to defeat Hamas without entering Rafah," Netanyahu said. "I told him that I hoped we would do this with U.S. support, but, if necessary, we will do it alone."
