"International Diplomatic Efforts to Halt Israeli Offensive in Rafah"
Israel faces international pressure over plans for a military assault on Rafah in southern Gaza following a hostage rescue operation that resulted in the deaths of dozens of Palestinians. Foreign secretaries and diplomats are urging Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to reconsider the offensive, expressing concerns about the humanitarian impact and civilian casualties. The EU's foreign policy chief, Josep Borrell, criticized Netanyahu's response and urged restraint, while the White House advised against the military operation without a credible plan to ensure the safety of civilians. Additionally, a court in the Netherlands ordered the halt of F-35 fighter jet parts export to Israel due to concerns about potential violations of international humanitarian law.
