Envoy warns against Rafah offensive

Ivan Zhakata Herald Correspondent

Ambassador of Palestine to Zimbabwe Dr Tamer Almassri has warned that Israel’s planned offensive in Rafah, the Gaza Strip, will cause mass atrocities.

This comes as Israeli military forces in the Gaza Strip ordered Palestinians to move out of Rafah in preparation for an attack in southern Gaza. Rafah was the last resort for 1,4 million civilians displaced by the brutal Israeli genocide.

The order followed a night of intense Israeli bombardment that killed 22 people in Rafah, including eight children.

In a statement, Ambassador Almassri said that a military offensive in Rafah would cause mass atrocities and civilian deaths.

This was a dangerous escalation that would have consequences with the ambassador calling on the international community and Israel’s allies to put a stop to that.

Ambassador Almassri said people would not leave their homeland and would continue to resist the Israeli occupation.
