Israel has submitted a plan to its neighbor Egypt on how to evacuate the city of Rafah, a media report says. The city is overcrowded with hundreds of thousands of Palestinian internally displaced people seeking protection in a very small space.
Israel is currently preparing for a military offensive on the city, which it sees as Hamas's last bastion in Gaza. US President Joe Biden once again urgently called for the protection of the civilian population in view of the planned Israeli military offensive in Rafah. Jordan's King Abdullah II warned clearly against an offensive.
