The French newspaper, Le Monde reported
that on Monday, Rafah, which houses more than a million displaced people, was
targeted by Israeli airstrikes, sending dozens to the Kuwaiti Hospital. This
occurred simultaneously with the announcement by Israeli authorities of the
liberation of two captives in the sector through a military operation.
The Financial Times noted that the Israeli
airstrike on Rafah comes amid growing international fears of a broader ground
military invasion into a city with over a million displaced people, with
Israeli officials claiming that it is the last major population center
controlled by Hamas.
Increasing tension between Washington and NetanyahuThe tensions between Washington and
Netanyahu have escalated. Financial Times highlighted the increased tensions
between Netanyahu's government and the administration of US President Joe Biden
due to the fate of Rafah.
Moreover, an article in The Wall Street Journal
suggested that the operation to liberate the captives could achieve a local
victory for Netanyahu in the face of international pressure to end the war.
However, the article expressed concerns about the human losses resulting from
the operation, which could confirm the complexities of a wide-ranging operation
in the densely populated city.
The Israeli newspaper, Haaretz reported
that the entire world feels despair from Netanyahu 'except for the new populist
and eccentric Argentine president.' The article also mentioned the frustration
of some ministers in the war government, such as Benny Gantz and Gadi Eisenkot,
adding that Biden and the entire US administration and the European Union (EU)
are frustrated with Netanyahu.
Describing Netanyahu as a ‘hybrid
creature,’ Haaretz suggested that he has completely broken the rules of the
democratic and dictatorial game, making it challenging for the world to
effectively deal with him.
In a related matter, Bloomberg reported
that commercial ships passing through the Red Sea have been working on
innovative methods to avoid attacks by the Houthi group in the Bab el-Mandeb
Strait.
The Houthi campaign has disrupted global
shipping routes and raised transportation costs due to detours and additional
fees for insurance and security.
