Israel Persists in Rafah Assault Amid Global Pressure and US Concerns
TL;DR Summary
Despite international condemnation and an order from the International Court of Justice to halt its offensive in Rafah, Israel continues its military operation, citing the need to control the border with Egypt to prevent arms smuggling. The assault has led to significant civilian displacement and a humanitarian crisis, with critics questioning Israel's claims of restraint. Both Israel and the U.S. are framing the operation as "limited," allowing it to proceed more cautiously.
