Son Rafah News Today

I hate to be so depressing this morning, but i think were looking at open-ended but low-level war in gaza with the danger of escalation in the north and southern lebanon. >> willie, no question, the optimism that many in the biden white house felt last friday about the peace deal has really faded in the days since. hamas still not agreeing to it. israel throwing up significant roadblocks. theres some frustration among other democrats that the presidents red line on rafah seems really faint and f...

Indeed. it looks like israel would want the hostages back and then have the possibility to continue the war... this is the formula benjamin netanyahu want... exchange the hostage with palestinian prisoners and then there will be negotiations to the next level of ceasefire, and he would expect that somehow the fighting would go back as what happened in november. this formula might be convincing for the israeli ministers and might be convincing for the people who really want the war to continue.�...

Specifically members of his own coalition.>> let me ask you one more thing. it has been a week since an israeli military strike killed 45 palestinian and where did others. benjamin netanyahu called it a tragic mistake. is that an acceptable excuse? >> mistakes happen in war. i think the point the u.s. has been trying to make is when you have more than 1 million palestinians in temporary shelters on the move and on the roads in gaza, the idea that you can use these weapons of war without having t...

That says whole neighborhoods of housing are missing, there are no homes to go back to. Griffiths report interestingly and perhaps presciently focusing on rafah where the Ground Offensive has not reached yet. Theres an additional 1 Million displaced people there. He said if the military starts there where people are already short of food, water and multiple families living in tiny accommodation, sharing homes, if theres a military offensive, it will cause real potential for push of people, despe...

Im helena humphrey. Bad you could join me. Glad. At least 15 people have been killed in israeli Air Strikes on rafah in southern gaza. Israel is continuing Air Raids on the city where 1. 5 million displaced palestinians are sheltering.

He has, for weeks, threatened to start a Ground Offensive on rafah, claiming hamas members are hiding there. Gazas health ministry, which is run ...

The day. >> you know, mika, yesterday was a combination of the stunning. sometimes, the jury proceedings are ponderous, particularly when the prospective jurors are reading their answers to the jury questionnaire. yet, at other times, as noted, it can move with lightning speed. particularly where the parties are exercising both their challenges for cause to particular jurors and what are called peremptory challenges, the chan challenges that allow to strike jurors for whatever reason whatsoever....

Calling on all concerned to exercise restraint. that is what we have been doing over the last couple of weeks, and, as necessary, that is what we will continue to do. again, that is reflected in the statement that you will see coming from all of the g7 countries. on rafah. we have been very clear about this. president biden has been very clear about this. we cannot support a major military operation in rafah. first, there are currently somewhere around 1.4 million people in rafah, many of them d...

Between israel and iran. eugene, youre right to put your focus, in particular, on rafah. i think the thing to watch here is the network of tunnels underneath all of gaza. about 400 miles of tunnels, this is where hamas trains, equips, organizes, directs, launches attacks. israel knows those tunnels are the military center of gravity here, so theyre going to work their way through that tunnel complex. theyre already doing it in the northern part of gaza. theyre going to get after those tunnel sys...

The action appears to have been limited in scope, with no casualties or major damage reported. protestors took to the streets in tehran, denouncing israel, but iranian state media has played down the incident; one official said there were no plans for further retaliation against israel. a minister — in benjamin netanyahus government — described the israeli action as "lame". the us secretary of state antony blinken is at the summit of g7 foreign ministers. he said his focus remains on de—es...
