Israel threatens to attack Rafah before the start of Ramadan. 1.5 million Palestinians are trapped in the city in the south of the Gaza Strip.

Hamas official: The arrival in Cairo of the leader of the Palestinian movement Ismaïl Haniyeh does not mean any progress in the negotiations. If possible new negotiations fail, the prospect of a military offensive on this overpopulated city raises fears of the worst for Palestinian refugees, while more than 29,000 people have already been killed in Gaza.
