Rafah Operation
The ICJ ruled that Israel must immediately open the Rafah crossing between Egypt and Gaza for aid delivery.
US Secretary of State Antony Blinken stated that Israeli military operations near the Rafah border crossing between Egypt and Gaza have made the delivery of humanitarian assistance challenging, according to Reuters.
Egyptian President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi and Belgium's Prime Minister Alexander De Croo have underscored the severe consequences of any potential operation in the Palestinian city of Rafah in Gaza.
Egypt has reiterated its warning about the dangers of conducting any military operation in the city of Rafah, which currently houses more than half of Gaza's 2.3 million population, most of whom are displaced by the Israeli war.
