SUMMARY: Despite warnings from the White House and the United Nations, Israeli right-wing ministers are pushing for the rebuilding of settlements in Gaza after the war. They attended a conference in Jerusalem to advocate for Israelis to resettle in Gaza and expand Jewish settlements in the territory and the occupied West Bank. The event, led by the right-wing Nachala organization, goes against international and humanitarian laws, as Jewish settlements in Gaza are considered illegal. Israel withdrew from Gaza in 2005, leaving it to the Palestinian Authority and later Hamas. Questions remain about the future of Gaza after the current conflict. The U.N. General Assembly recently voted in favor of a resolution for a humanitarian cease-fire in Gaza.

SUMMARY: Rafah, a city in the Gaza Strip, has become a deserted, war-ravaged area following a two-month Israeli military invasion targeting Hamas, their final stronghold in Gaza. Abandoned buildings and rubble dominate the landscape, with few civilians remaining. Israel alleges that Hamas turned civilian areas into combat zones, creating deadly traps. Approximately 1.4 million Palestinians fled to Rafah, now reduced to around 50,000 under dire conditions in a “humanitarian area.” Aid efforts are stalled, with dangerous routes and limited access to resources. The humanitarian crisis worsens as Israel pushes forward its offensive, despite significant challenges in aid delivery and civilian survival.
