An article published on Tuesday, Did Israel Use Irans Attack to Secure a US Green Light for Rafah Invasion’, questions whether the Netanyahu has used Iran’s attacks as leverage for his war strategy in Gaza.

The United States has shown its true attitude towards the Palestinians by blocking the recommendation to admit the country to the UN. For Washington, the Palestinian people have no right to their own state, Russian Permanent Representative Vasily Nebenzia said at a meeting of the United Nations Security Council.

The Israeli army has seized strategic assets of the Hamas movement in the Gaza Strip and is preparing to enter Rafah in the south of the enclave, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on Thursday at a meeting with the families of kidnapped soldiers.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said last week that it is Israel’s policy to allow as much humanitarian aid into Gaza as necessary, which aid agencies have said is false.

On Wednesday, Annelle Sheline, 38, resigned from job as a foreign affairs officer in the US Bureau of Democracy, Human Rights, and Labor, saying her job had become “impossible".

The US abstained from the vote, and later said that the resolution is “non-binding”. However, according to the UN Charter, all Security Council resolutions are legally binding under international law.

The UN expert wrote that she found “reasonable grounds to believe” that the “threshold indicating the commission of the crime of genocide against Palestinians as a group in Gaza has been met”.

The public spat between Biden and Netanyahu shouldn’t be seen as an indication of a broader shift in the alliance, according to one analyst.

The United States will have to explain during an upcoming meeting on March 4 the reason for casting a veto on a UN Security Council resolution calling for an immediate ceasefire in the Gaza Strip, General Assembly presidential spokesperson Monica Grayley said on Wednesday.

Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant said on Monday that residents of the Gaza Strip would not be able to return to the northern part of the enclave until all hostages still held by Hamas were released.
