International newspapers reported on the attacks launched by the occupation army on the city of Rafah, south of the Gaza Strip, which they said had become the last refuge for the displaced, noting that the entire world had become unable to deal with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

The French "Le Monde" said that Rafah - which houses more than a million displaced people - was subjected to Israeli bombing, sending dozens to the Kuwaiti hospital early Monday morning, coinciding with the announcement by the Israeli security services of liberating two detainees in the Strip through a military operation.

As for the British Financial Times, it said that the Israeli raid on Rafah comes amid growing international fears of a broader military incursion into a city where more than a million displaced people live, and Israeli officials say it is the last large population center controlled by the Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas).

Tensions are growing between Washington and Netanyahu

The newspaper pointed out that the fate of Rafah has recently increased the tension between the Netanyahu government and the administration of US President Joe Biden.

An article in the Wall Street Journal said that the process of liberating the two hostages could achieve a local victory for the Israeli Prime Minister in the face of international pressure to end the war, in light of his disagreement with the United States over the expansion of military operations in Rafah.

But the article believes that the scale of human losses resulting from that operation could also confirm the complexities of a large-scale operation in the densely populated city.

An article in the Israeli newspaper "Haaretz" said that the whole world feels despair over Netanyahu, "with the exception of the new populist and eccentric Argentine president."

The article said that some war cabinet ministers, such as Benny Gantz and Gadi Eisenkot, have become frustrated, adding, "Of course, Joe Biden, the entire American administration, and the European Union are frustrated with Netanyahu."

Hybrid creature

The article stated that Netanyahu "completely broke the rules of the democratic and dictatorial game, and has become a hybrid creature that the whole world looks at with despair and is unable to deal with effectively."

In a related matter, Bloomberg said that commercial ships passing through the Red Sea are working on innovative methods to avoid attacks by the Houthi group in the Bab al-Mandab Strait.

The website reported that one of the shipping companies sent a message to the Houthis when the ship approached the strait that all its crew members were Muslims.

The Houthi campaign has turned global shipping traffic upside down and raised transportation costs, as ships face diversions and additional fees for insurance and security.
