The White House has stated that it will not support any Israeli military plans in Palestinian Rafah that do not take into account the civilians in Gaza, as reported by Cairo News Channel.
The White House hopes that the Paris negotiations will lead to an agreement regarding Gaza Strip and has seen reports about Israel’s post-war plans in Gaza, believing that any arrangement should involve Palestinian input.
Amidst the ongoing conflict, Israeli forces continue to launch hundreds of airstrikes and artillery shelling across the Gaza Strip, committing severe atrocities against civilians and causing a catastrophic humanitarian situation due to the blockade and displacement of over 90% of the population.
Israeli airstrikes have destroyed entire residential blocks in Gaza as part of a total destruction policy, leaving thousands of casualties still under the rubble due to continuous bombing and hazardous field conditions.
The siege on Gaza and strict restrictions on the entry of fuel and urgent humanitarian aid exacerbate the dire humanitarian conditions.
