Military action will not lead to the recovery of the already killed Israeli captives held in Gaza, former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert has said.
The Israeli government, led by Benjamin Netanyahu, chose to pursue an artificial victory in Rafah instead of focusing on recovering the hostages.
Olmert emphasized the need for Israel to show readiness to stop the war in exchange for the return of all prisoners of war, highlighting that the USA is not prepared anymore to support Netanyahu’s adventures and agenda.
He stressed the need to change the Israeli government and hold early elections, highlighting the growing public dissatisfaction with the Netanyahu government.
The Israeli army announced the invasion of Gaza’s southernmost city of Rafah on Tuesday in spite of Hamas agreeing to a ceasefire deal hours earlier?
Some 1.4 million Palestinians have taken refuge in Rafah, the majority after being forcibly displaced from their homes by Israeli occupation forces.
The United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) yesterday warned that the Israeli military siege and ground incursion into Rafah would pose catastrophic risks to the 600,000 children currently taking shelter in the city.
The organization added that Israeli military operations often result in very high civilian casualties while the few remaining basic services and infrastructure civilians need to survive had been totally destroyed.
