Israel’s far-right National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir has urged Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in a post on X to “go to Rafah now!”.
“We did not attack Gaza and received the seventh of October,” he wrote, referring to the Hamas attack inside Israel on that day.
Earlier, we reported that Israel’s Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich had publicly urged the war cabinet not to “surrender” as he called out “Rafah now” at a demonstration in Jerusalem.
Multiple aid agencies and nations have warned that a ground assault on Rafah, where more than one million displaced Palestinians are sheltering, would lead to a catastrophic loss of life and further worsen the humanitarian crisis in the Gaza Strip.
Ben-Gvir: "Netanyahu, go to Rafah now!"
