There are other ways to fight Islamist Hamas than an invasion of Rafah, the White House said. US President Joe Biden has called on Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to send a team to Washington in the coming days.
This should consist of military personnel, secret services and specialists, as well as specialists in the field of humanitarian aid. This was announced by Biden’s national security adviser Jake Sullivan. The Israeli army has already achieved recent successes, such as the killing of Hamas’ number three in Gaza, Marwan Issa (see video above). Israel previously said they had tracked down Issa, but his death was initially not confirmed.
It is doubtful whether Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will actually send a team to Washington. In any case, he had recently announced that despite international criticism he would stick to his plans for an offensive in Rafah, in the south of the Gaza Strip. There are currently approximately one million displaced people living in the city.
At least 20 dead again
Rafah and central parts of the Gaza Strip were now again attacked from the air. At least 20 people were killed and dozens of others were injured, according to the Palestinian Health Authority. Several houses and apartments and a refugee camp were hit. Three women and three children were among the dead, it said on Tuesday. The attacks are said to have taken place on Tuesday evening. The Israeli military has not yet commented.
Meanwhile, new negotiations began in Qatar for a ceasefire in the war and the release of more hostages. The head of the Israeli foreign secret service Mossad, David Barnea, is said to have already arrived and met the mediators. The talks could last at least two weeks.
