Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to face pressure from right-wing coalition on future of Gaza
Friday, 19 April 2024 () Throughout his career Benjamin Netanyahu has been a generally cautious politician, either deferring decisions or taking the least incendiary options.
President Biden urgently cautioned Prime Minister Netanyahu against launching an offensive in Gaza's southern city of Rafah, fearing it would escalate the conflict and increase Palestinian casualties. Their call highlighted the growing divide between the two leaders amid mounting pressure for a ceasefire. Biden emphasised the need to avoid further despair in the war-torn region. Both leaders face public outcry, with Biden encountering protests on college campuses and Netanyahu under pressure from families of Israeli hostages.

Hamas has accepted a ceasefire proposal from Egypt and Qatar. At the same time, Israel continues its bombing campaign in eastern Rafah despite not accepting the ceasefire terms. Reports indicate that around 100,000 Palestinians in Rafah have been asked to evacuate. Ismail Haniyeh, representing Hamas, informed Qatari and Egyptian officials of the group's approval of the ceasefire. However, Israel's Prime Minister Netanyahu's office stated that the proposed deal falls short of Israel's demands but will still send a delegation for negotiations.

The Iraqi resistance recently issued a statement detailing their latest action against the Israeli air base in Eilat. In their announcement, they cited their ongoing commitment to opposing the occupation by the Zionist regime, expressing solidarity with the residents of Gaza, and condemning the killing of Palestinian civilians. This strike marks the fourth assault conducted by the Iraqi resistance on occupied territories within a span of fewer than 12 hours, indicating a heightened level of activity and determination.
Earlier on Tuesday, the group had targeted the Israeli base named "Jonathan" in another drone strike, showcasing their persistence in confronting perceived aggressors. Accompanying their declaration, the umbrella group of resistance factions in Iraq also released video footage capturing the moment of their drone attack on the Zionist military's air base in the port of Eilat (Um al-Rasrash), situated south of occupied Palestine. This visual evidence serves to underscore the potency and precision of their actions.
The current escalation in attacks by regional resistance groups, including Iraq’s Islamic Resistance, underscores a broader trend of defiance against perceived injustices, particularly in the wake of the Israeli military's aggressive actions in Gaza. As such, these strikes represent a tangible expression of resistance against both Israeli and US interests in the region.

Rishi Sunak said he is "deeply concerned" about a potential Israeli offensive in the city of Rafah. "I've been very consistent that we are deeply concerned about the prospect of a military incursion into Rafah, given the number of civilians that are sheltering there and the importance of that crossing for aid," he added.

Israeli tanks seized the Rafah Crossing in Gaza, intensifying conflict as warplanes bombarded homes. At least 12 casualties were reported. Despite Hamas accepting a ceasefire, Israel vowed to continue its military operation. Troops are conducting a "limited op," trapping civilians. Egypt closed Rafah Crossing to prevent mass exodus. Over a million refugees sheltering in Rafah face grave risk, prompting UN warnings and international appeals ignored by Israel.
