Israeli Police Officials Announce End Date for Rafah Operation in 2 Weeks
The Israeli military operation in Rafah is set to end in the coming weeks, as reported by Israeli state television KAN, citing unnamed officials. The news suggests that if an agreement is not reached soon, politicians will determine the next steps to be taken.
The second phase of the war in Gaza is said to be coming to a close, with warnings that new measures must be implemented to prevent the military operation from turning into a failure. According to the report, there are still prisoners in Gaza and no viable alternative to Hamas has been identified, necessitating a regional political plan before this phase concludes.
Even after the military activities cease in Gaza, Israel is expected to maintain control over key areas such as the Netzarim Corridor, the Philadelphia Corridor, and the Rafah Border Gate. Additionally, there are claims that the Israeli army is considering ending the operation in Rafah soon and shifting focus to the Lebanese border.
The closure of the Rafah Border Gate since May 7, following an Israeli army warning to evacuate certain neighborhoods in the region, has had a significant impact on the flow of humanitarian aid into Gaza. This closure, along with the ongoing food shortage in Gaza, highlights the urgent need for a strategic resolution to the conflict.
