Jordan’s Foreign Minister Ayman Safadi has called on countries to pressure Israel to prevent a ground invasion of Rafah in the south of Gaza.
“All must weight down on Israel to prevent it from attacking Rafah. Such an attack would be another massacre,” he wrote on X on Monday.
Safadi added that “radicals in Israeli government [are] pushing an explosion in [the] West Bank”.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said earlier this month that a date for a ground offensive into Rafah has been set and that “entry into Rafah” was necessary for a “complete victory over Hamas.”
Rafah, in the southernmost part of the besieged enclave, is where about 1.5 million Palestinians are estimated to be sheltering after fleeing fighting in the north.
