Rafah, Gaza Strip (AP) – Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu brushed the growing call to stop military aggressive in Gaza on Sunday, as a “swearing of jobs”, a member of his war cabinet threatened to attack the southern city of Rafah if the rest of the Israeli bandh is not freed from the Muslim sacred month.
The Israeli government has not publicly discussed a time -term for an aggressive aggressive on Rafah, where 2.3 million Palestinians of more than half an enclave have sought shelter. Retired General Beni Gantz, part of Netanyahu’s three -member war cabinet, represents an impressive voice, but not the last word that lies further.
“If our hostages do not have a home by Ramadan, the fight will continue till the Rafah region,” Gantz told a conference of Jewish American leaders. Ramadan is expected to start from March 10, historically a stressful time in the region.
Following signs of progress in recent weeks, as a struggle of ceasefire, Netanyahu has called the demands of Gaza’s ruling Hamas terrorist group “confusion”.
The United States, Israeli’s top ally, says that it still expects a broker to a ceasefire and hostage-resting agreement, and imagines a comprehensive resolution of war by Hamas’s deadly October 7 attack in southern Israel.
The United States also says that this will call another draft UN resolution for a ceasefire, a warning against its UN ambassador against measures that can put “opportunity for permanent resolution of enmity”.
But Netanyahu opposed the state of Palestinian, which the US calls a major element in a comprehensive vision for generalization of relations between Israel and regional heavyweight Saudi Arabia. His cabinet adopted an announcement on Sunday, stating that Israeli “clearly rejected international versions on a permanent arrangement with Palestinians” and opposed any unilateral recognition of a Palestinian state.
The international community supports an independent Palestinian kingdom as part of the future peace agreement. Netanyahu’s government is full of hard-liners opposing Palestinian freedom.
Netanyahu wants Israel to get a “total win” over Hamas. In response to international concern on the rafa aggressive, he has said that Palestinian citizens will be evacuated. Where they will be devastated to a large extent, Gaza is not clear.
As the time suggested for the aggressive, the head of the World Health Organization said that Nasir Hospital, the main medical center of Southern Gaza, was “no longer functional” by Israeli forces raided Khan Younis last week.
The Israeli attacks in Gaza continued, according to Medics and Witnesses, at least 18 people died on Sunday. A strike in Rafa killed six people, including a woman and three children, and another killed five in Khan Younis, who were the main goals of Southern Gaza in recent weeks. Associated press journalists saw the bodies.
“All those who were martyred were those whom the Jews had asked to go to safe places,” after the Rafah strike, Ahmed Abu Razch said.
In Gaza City, who faced widespread destruction in the early days of the war, an aerial attack flattened a house, killing seven people, including three women, according to Saeed al-Afifi.
Israel’s army rarely comments on personal attacks and blames the number of civic casualties on Hamas as terrorists work in dense residential areas.
The United Nations says that the raid hospital no longer functions
WHO Director General Tedros Adhanom Gabrisus said a WHO team was not allowed to enter Nasir Hospital on Friday or Saturday. In a post on X, he said that there are about 200 patients, with 20 requiring immediate referrals.
Israeli Defense Minister Yov Galant said that at least 200 terrorists surrendered in the hospital. He also claimed that Hamas was defeated in Khan Younis, and that Hamas Gaza is largely a leaderless. He did not provide any evidence to support the claims.
The Gaza Health Ministry said that 70 medical workers were one of the people who, along with patients, left 150 patients without medical care. It said that Israel refused to allow patients including newborns to vacate in other hospitals.
The army says that it is looking for hostage remains inside Nasir Hospital and does not target doctors or patients.
About 1,200 people were killed in the October 7 attack, most of the citizens, and around 250 hostage. Terrorists still capture about 130 hostages, one of them is considered dead in fourth place. Most of the others were released during a week’s ceasefire in November.
According to the Ministry of Health, the war has killed at least 28,985 Palestinians, most women and children, who do not distinguish between citizens and fighters. On Sunday, it was said that 127 bodies were brought to hospitals in the last 24 hours.
About 80% of the population of Gaza is displaced, and a quarter face is starvation. Well Abu Omar, a spokesman for Palestinian Crossing Authority, said 123 aid trucks entered Gaza on Carem Shalom Border Crossing of Israel on Sunday and four cooking trucks entered Egypt through Rafa Cross. It is below 500 trucks that enter daily before the war.
In the West Bank occupied, when the Israeli army went to the city to arrest an armed suspect in the city, there was a firing. The army said the suspect was killed, and a member of Israel’s paramilitary border police was seriously injured. It described the raid target as a senior terrorist. The Palestinian Health Ministry said two Palestinians died.
The war in Gaza has threatened to ignite the widespread struggle in the region. The US Central Command stated that it launched five self -defense attacks against cruise missiles and drones in the field of Yemen controlled by the Iranian -backed rebel group.
The US opposes a new ceasefire resolution
Arab Representative of the United Nations Security Council Algeria has broadcast a draft resolve, demanding an immediate human ceasefire and ignored the human access to Gaza, and rejected the forced displacement of the Palestinians.
US Ambassador Linda Thomas-Greenfield stated that the draft “will not be adopted” and runs a counter for Washington’s efforts to end the fight. The US had vetoed the previous resolutions with comprehensive international support.
The US, Qatar and Egypt have spent the weeks in an attempt to broker a ceasefire and hostage release, but Qatar said on Saturday that the talks “are not progressing as expected.”
Hamas has said that it will not release all the remaining hostages without ending the Israeli war and without moving away from Gaza. It also demands the release of hundreds of Palestinians captured by Israel, including top terrorists.
