Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has said Israel will launch an invasion of the southern Gaza city of Rafah regardless of truce talks with Hamas.

It comes amid ongoing attempts to try to reach an agreement for a ceasefire and hostage releases.

His comments follow renewed warnings by the US and UN against a Rafah invasion.

The US secretary of state Antony Blinken hopes Hamas will accept what he has called Israel's "extraordinarily generous" offer for a Gaza truce and hostage release deal. He was speaking as a Hamas delegation discussed the new proposal with mediators from Egypt and Qatar.

Meanwhile in the United States, pro-Palestinian student protesters at Columbia University, who have barricaded themselves inside a campus building, could "face expulsion".

    Oh yeah the UN, the people who work harder at keeping people oppressed than actually liberating them😅

    US does not support an all out offensive in Rafah but they still fund and give weapons to Israel. So what’s new?

    The United Nations Secretary General is like the highest paid role of a screaming school girl. When a boyfriend gets into a fight, the girl shrieks on the side to "stop it!" like thats going to do anything.

    And the Arab gentleman who is from Qatar, and concerned about refugees, ought to be. Germany has taken 2.2 million refugees. His country of Qatar taken in 190 to date.

    And when they are told: "Don't disturb the order on earth"! They say: "We are only improvers (peacemakers)!" (The Holy Qur'an, 2: 11)

    The UN needs to stop talking and act. All this lack of accountability is making the UN look useless and weak.

    I would say that the UN Chief is not well suited for the job. Can't take the heat. No.
  • @muckraker7942
    When the UN says something is unbearable they are just saying they need more money funneled through the UN to help do nothing about it, care of Tesfai Debalki, Penthouse Suite, Four Seasons, New York.
