Over a million Palestinians have been displaced to Rafah on the border with Egypt. A large part of the rest of the Gaza Strip has now been bombed to pieces.
The US – a country where politicians are financed by the Israel lobby – has previously, as expected, supported Israel's controversial warfare which, among other things, has led to the death of 13,000 children since in October. But recently the White House has begun to direct unexpected criticism at its “prime ally” and underlined that an Israeli operation against Rafah would be “a red line”.
Ron Dermer, Israel's Minister of Strategic Affairs, however, states that the has no plans to take into account US demands and that Rafah will be taken.
– It will happen even if Israel is forced to fight on its own. Even if the whole world turns against Israel, including the United States, we will fight until the battle is won, he says.
