UK Foreign Secretary David Cameron expressed deep concern yesterday over "Israel's" invasion of the southern Gazan city of Rafah.

The Israeli occupation forces have been attacking Rafah for several days, getting ready for a ground offensive. Rafah is the last refuge for over a million Palestinians after they were forced to flee Gaza by the IOF amid the ongoing genocide in the Strip.

In a post on X, Cameron stated: "Deeply concerned about the prospect of a military offensive in Rafah – over half of Gaza’s population are sheltering in the area."

He emphasized that "the priority must be an immediate pause in the fighting to get aid in and hostages out, then progress towards a sustainable, permanent ceasefire."

The United States, Canada, Germany, and other Western allies of "Israel" have all expressed concern over Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's order of an offensive in Rafah, warning against an imminent humanitarian disaster. Saudi Arabia and Jordan, as well as the Arab League and Amnesty International also condemned this decision urging for international interference as it is an "imminent risk of genocide."

IOF Chief and Netanyahu are in disagreement

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's push for a full-scale invasion of the southernmost city of Rafah in the Gaza Strip has generated discord between him and the Israeli Commander-in-Chief Herzi Halevi, according to Israeli broadcaster Channel 12.

Channel 12's political affairs analyst, Yaron Avraham, said yesterday the dispute arose when Netanyahu discussed the continuation of the Israeli military operation with Halevi. 

The Israeli Prime Minister who heads the Israeli war cabinet is reportedly rushing the Israeli military to take direct action in Rafah, while Halevi stresses that necessary conditions need to be made available before such action could be taken.

Among these conditions is the "evacuation" of Palestinians from Rafah, in coordination with Egypt. 

Reading between the lines, both Israeli political and military leading figures agree on the mass expulsion and displacement of Palestinians. However, they disagree on the timeframe and the method of doing so. 

Avraham says  Netanyahu is conflating between the Israeli war objectives and his own personal ambitions. It has become widely accepted that the continuation of the war on Gaza and achieving what Netanhayhu describes as an "absolute victory" ensure that his political career lasts.
