Benjamin Netanyahu responded on February 17 to rising appeals from world leaders to avoid a ground operation in Rafah, remarking that doing so would mean «losing the war against Hamas,» as reported by The Times of Israel. «Those who want to prevent us from operating in Rafah are essentially telling us: 'Lose the war.' I won't let that happen,» he vowed at an evening press conference in Jerusalem. «We won't capitulate to any pressure,» he said.

As Israel-Hamas cease-fire talks flounder, Israel is vowing to press ahead with its offensive in the southern Gaza Strip despite warnings from the US to work harder to protect civilians. Violence spiked across the volatile Israel-Lebanon border. This is what happened in the Middle East this week.

World Health Organization on Wednesday warned that an Israeli military offensive against Rafah in southern Gaza would cause an «unfathomable catastrophe» and push the enclave's health system closer to the brink of collapse. «Military activities in this area, this densely populated area, would be, of course, an unfathomable catastrophe… and would even further expand the humanitarian disaster beyond imagination,» said Richard Peeperkorn, WHO representative for Gaza and the West Bank.

They could also leave an already fragile humanitarian operation at death's door,» said U.N. aid chief Martin Griffiths. «We lack the safety guarantees, the aid supplies and the staff capacity to keep this operation afloat.

In a post on X (formerly Twitter), the Israel Defence Force said, “Two Israeli hostages rescued during an overnight mission in Rafah.

Israeli airstrikes killed at least 44 Palestinians — including more than a dozen children — in the southern Gaza city of Rafah on Saturday, hours after Israel's prime minister said he had asked the military to plan for the evacuation of hundreds of thousands of people there ahead of a ground invasion. Benjamin Netanyahu did not provide details or a timeline, but the announcement set off panic and warnings from diplomats. More than half of Gaza's 2.3 million people are packed into Rafah, many after following Israeli evacuation orders that now cover two-thirds of the territory. It's not clear where they could run next.

Benjamin Netanyahu has ordered the army to prepare to «evacuate» hundreds of thousands of Palestinians from Gaza's Rafah, his office said Friday, after Washington warned it would not support any ground assault on the city. The show of defiance against Israel's main ally came after President Joe Biden issued his strongest criticism yet of Netanyahu's conduct of the war, warning the response to Hamas's October 7 attack had been «over the top». Netanyahu told military and security officials to «submit to the cabinet a combined plan for evacuating the population and destroying the battalions» of Palestinian militant group Hamas holed up in Rafah, a statement from his office said.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says he has ordered the military to prepare a plan to evacuate the population of Rafah ahead of an expected Israeli invasion of the southern Gaza town. Netanyahu made the announcement Friday following international criticism of Israel's plan to invade the crowded town on Egypt's border.

But an estimated 1.5 million Palestinians have crammed into the town after fleeing fighting elsewhere in Gaza. Netanyahu said a «massive operation» is needed in Rafah. He said he asked security officials to present a «double plan» that would include the evacuation of civilians and a military operation to «collapse» remaining Hamas militant units.

Iran denied Monday any links to a drone strike in Jordan that killed three US military personnel and said it was not seeking an «expansion» of conflict in the Middle East. The killing of three American troops on Sunday in a strike in Jordan marked the first US military losses in the region since the Israel-Hamas war began. US President Joe Biden said "radical Iran-backed militant groups operating in Syria and Iraq" were behind the strike on the frontier base in Jordan's northeast. British Foreign Secretary David Cameron reiterated a call for Iran «to de-escalate in the region». Iran lambasted what it described as «baseless accusations» and said they were a «projection» and part of a «conspiracy of those who see their interests in dragging America's foot into a new battle». «The Islamic Republic of Iran does not welcome the expansion of conflict in the region,» Iran's foreign ministry spokesman Nasser Kanani said in a statement, adding that Tehran «is not involved in the decisions of the resistance groups». Iran has previously said it sees it as «duty» to support what it calls «resistance groups» in the region but insists they are «independent» in decision and action. Sunday's strike also left 34 personnel wounded, eight of whom required evacuation, according to the US Central Command. US troops operate at the base known as Tower 22 near Jordan's border with Iraq and Syria as part of an international coalition against the Islamic State jihadist group.
