Israeli airstrikes on refugee camp in Rafah result in 35 deaths, say Palestinian medics

Reading Time: 2 minutes

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has made it clear that he strongly opposes ending the war in Gaza, as deadly fighting continues to rock the region. The war cabinet is set to convene amid intense diplomacy to forge a truce and secure the release of hostages held by Hamas militants.

The conflict was triggered by an attack by the Palestinian militant group on October 7, leaving vast areas of Gaza in ruins. Netanyahu has rejected Hamas’s demand for a permanent end to the fighting, stating that he opposes leaving Hamas in place to carry out further attacks.

Meanwhile, Hamas has fired a salvo of rockets at Tel Aviv for the first time in months, causing panic among residents who scrambled for shelter. The situation remains tense as both sides continue to engage in violent clashes.

In Brussels, the European Union’s foreign policy chief emphasized the importance of a strong Palestinian Authority, stating that it is in Israel’s interest as well. Several EU members have announced their intention to recognize the State of Palestine, drawing condemnation from Israel.

US President Joe Biden has been pushing for renewed international efforts to halt the war, which has been ongoing for eight months. Negotiations involving US, Qatari, and Egyptian mediators have stalled, with Hamas insisting on a permanent cessation of hostilities as a starting point for any talks.

The conflict has taken a heavy toll on both sides, with thousands of casualties reported. The families of hostages held by Palestinian militants have been pressuring Netanyahu to secure their release, while international pressure on Israel continues to mount.

As the war rages on, the UN has warned of a looming famine in Gaza, where most hospitals are no longer functioning. The civilian death toll has sparked global outcry, with landmark moves at international courts seeking accountability for the violence.

The situation in Gaza remains dire, with no immediate end to the conflict in sight. The war cabinet’s meeting and ongoing diplomatic efforts will be crucial in determining the next steps in this long-standing and devastating conflict.
