In spite warnings from world leaders, International Communities, Israel Defense Force are currently occupying Rafah with what they call “limited operation”.

The disregard for ongoing negotiation by Israel government speaks volume and emphasize their commitment to crush anything left of Hamas in Rafah.

A Hamas official, Izzat Al-Rishk accused Israel of occupying southern Rafah at the expense of ceasefire deal. He says “Israel military operation in Rafah and its border crossing is to obstruct the efforts of the mediators”. He added that Hamas have sent delegation to Cairo and is committed to accept ceasefire deal despite amendment of many key aspects.

In contrast, PM Netanyahu was the first to accuse Hamas of trying to double cross Israeli Force by spreading speculated news of Israel agreeing to deal.
