Israeli strikes on Rafah raise fear ground assault could begin • FRANCE 24 English

Clearly been no let up whatsoever despite that United Nations security Council resolution which called for an immediate ceasefire I un Security Council resolutions are meant to be binding although the United States in this particular case this said this one is not binding Al though the other 14

Signatories of the resolution said it is uh but nevertheless regardless of whether or not it is binding Israel is ignoring it uh 66 people killed apparently uh across the Gaza Strip overnight and as you pointed out uh Rafa in the South came under attack one family of 11

Killed and the fear is growing there that uh Rafa could be next uh Israeli Prime Minister Benyamin Netanyahu who despite being under immense pressure from the United States in particular says that nothing is going to stop Israel going into Rafa uh and destroying hamas’s brigades who are still fighting

There and uh at the start of the conflict about 25% of hamas’s strength was apparently based in Rafa so you know the Israelis say they have to do it otherwise that the fight against Rafa will never end that they won’t be able to control the Gaza Strip that Hamas

Will constitute a constant uh threat to Israel in interestingly though uh you know a few days ago the after that resolution Israel pulled out of sending two senior Representatives Governor representatives to is to Washington to talk about Rafa and possible alternatives to a ground assault with the Americans that was cancelled

Following the resolution but there is talk again now about that being resuscitated so it may be that there is time yet and in any case you know the Israelis themselves admit that nothing is imminent it’s going to take quite a long time if the Israelis really are going to launch a ground offensive

Against Rafa to get the military needed into place

Israel bombed at least four homes in Rafah on Wednesday, raising new fear among the more than a million Palestinians sheltering in the last refuge on the southern edge of the Gaza Strip that a long-threatened ground assault could be coming. One of the airstrikes killed 11 people from a single family, health officials said. FRANCE 24’s Rob Parsons reports from Jerusalem.

  21. Jesus’ Command and Promise

    As you did it to one of the least of these my brothers, you did it to me.

    -Matthew 25:40

    Do not be afraid of those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul.

    Instead, fear the One who can destroy both soul and body in hell.

    -Matthew 10:28
