Israel’s determination to invade Rafah remains a sticking point in cease-fire negotiations, which appear to have broken down. President Biden reiterated his opposition to a ground invasion of Rafah in a Monday call with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, according to a White House readout of the conversation.

Col. Nadav Shoshani said. A member of Hamas’s political bureau, Suhail al-Hindi, warned in an interview with The Washington Post that “Rafah will become a graveyard” for Israeli soldiers should a military operation occur. The gaz agency for Palestinians (UNRWA) said an Israeli offensive in Rafah would be “devastating” for the 1.4 million people sheltering there. It said it was not evacuating Rafah and would stay for “as long as possible” to continue providing aid. National Security Council spokeswoman Adrienne Watson told The Post on Monday that the Biden administration believes a deal between Israel and Hamas remains “the best way to preserve the lives of the hostages.” Four Israeli soldiers were killed and others wounded in a rocket attack on the Kerem Shalom border crossing Sunday, according to the Israel Defense Forces. Hamas claimed responsibility for the strike on the crossing, which was closed for humanitarian aid. At least 34,735 people have been killed and 78,108 injured in Gaza since the war began, according to the Gaza Health Ministry, which does not distinguish between civilians and combatants but says the majority of the dead are women and children. Israel estimates that about 1,200 people were killed in Hamas’s Oct. 7 attack, including more than 300 soldiers, and says 267 soldiers have been killed since the launch of its military operation in Gaza. 1/6 End of carousel Skip to end of carousel HERE'S WHAT TO KNOW Israel is preparing for a “limited scope evacuation operation,” Lt.

The war: On Oct. 7, Hamas militants launched an unprecedented cross-border attack on Israel that included the taking of civilian hostages at a music festival. (See photos and videos of how the deadly assault unfolded). Israel declared war on Hamas in response, launching a ground invasion that fueled the biggest displacement in the region since Israel’s creation in 1948. Gaza crisis: In the Gaza Strip, Israel has waged one of this century’s most destructive wars, killing tens of thousands and plunging at least half of the population into “famine-like conditions.” For months, Israel has resisted pressure from Western allies to allow more humanitarian aid into the enclave. U.S. involvement: Despite tensions between Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and some U.S. politicians, including President Biden, the United States supports Israel with weapons, funds aid packages, and has vetoed or abstained from the United Nations’ cease-fire resolutions. History: The roots of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and mistrust are deep and complex, predating the establishment of the state of Israel in 1948. Read more on the history of the Gaza Strip.
