Michael Martin also accused Israel of violating the International Criminal Court’s ruling, ordering its military to stop its offensive in Rafah. Spain’s Foreign Minister also urged Israel […]

The US State Department says there’s no way to safely evacuate hundreds of thousands of Palestinians from Rafah as the Israeli military prepares a ground invasion. “We don’t want to see Palestinians evacuated from Rafah unless it is to return to their homes. And we have made that quite clear to the government of Israel,” said spokesman Matthew Miller. “We don’t think there’s any effective way to evacuate 1.4 million Palestinians. There’s no way to conduct an operation in Rafah that would not lead to inordinate civilian harm and would severely hamper the delivery of humanitarian assistance. And that’s the point that we continue to make to them.” Al Jazeera’s […]
Marwan Bishara, Al Jazeera’s senior political analyst, highlights the official Israeli position of delaying action in Rafah, attributed to pressure from the US and opposition from surrounding Arab countries like Egypt and Jordan. He notes the US-Israel agreement on ending Hamas’ leadership in Gaza, differing on the method. Bishara suggests the US favors targeted attacks over a broad invasion to minimize civilian casualties and displacement while achieving the same outcome. He criticizes the US’s perceived bias toward Israel, citing Secretary Blinken’s characterization of Hamas as the obstacle to a ceasefire. Bishara condemns Blinken’s description of Israel’s position as a “generous offer,” arguing it does not entail ending the war, bombings, […]
