Israel-Gaza Conflict: February 10-11 (Recap)

1️⃣ EU foreign policy chief Borrell has joined leaders warning against the Israeli offensive on #Rafah, saying it would “lead to an unspeakable humanitarian catastrophe and grave tensions with #Egypt”.

2️⃣ “No choices remain” as 1.9 million Palestinians sheltering in densely populated Rafah receive evacuation orders, reports Al Jazeera’s Tareq Abu Azzoum in Rafah.

3️⃣ The head of the #WHO, Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, says the reported Israeli detention of health staff and patients at al-Amal Hospital in Khan Younis is “extremely concerning”.

4️⃣ #US Senator Sanders says military aid for Israel ‘unacceptable’ amid fears of Rafah catastrophe. “Does Congress really want to provide more military aid to Netanyahu so that he can annihilate thousands and thousands more men, women and children?”

5️⃣ Ireland’s foreign minister has condemned Israel’s planned assault on Rafah, warning it is certain to entail “grave violations of international humanitarian law.” “It is absolutely clear that a military operation in Rafah, which has effectively now become one of the largest and most overcrowded refugee camps in the world, would entail grave violations of international humanitarian law,” Micheál Martin said.

6️⃣ Irish MEP Clare Daly has called for an emergency conference of the EU Council to demand an immediate ceasefire in #Gaza and prevent the “murderous onslaught” facing one million Palestinians in Rafah. Daly, said it has been clear since the start of the war that Israel’s “end game was the permanent destruction of the Gaza Strip”

7️⃣ Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin #Netanyahu has asked the Israeli army to again recruit reservists for the planned Rafah ground operation.
