- NGOs have warned that a ground invasion of the town would be a “bloodbath” and the plans have also prompted an unusual public backlash from US officials.
- Israel says that Rafah is the last remaining stronghold of Hamas and it needs to send in troops to “collapse” the militant group.

Israel can’t be allowed to do this. The ethnic cleansing in Gaza has led everyone south to this area. If Israel attacks, it will be a true, old school genocide with death numbers through the roof. Nazi-style genocide.
Now is the time for ceasefire talks.
