OH OH we may have sneak peek here on DW news LOL! Israel strikes areas of Rafah — reports Israeli jets have struck two areas in eastern Rafah, news agencies reported on Monday hours after people in parts of the city had been told to leave the area. "The areas targeted by the Israeli occupation are near the perimeter of Gaza International Airport, the Al-Shuka area, the Abu Halawa area, the Salaheddin street area and the Salam neighborhood," Gaza civil defense agency spokesman Ahmed Ridwan told French news agency AFP, referring to areas to the city's east. Israel's military had earlier ordered residents to evacuate Al-Shuka and Al-Salam. Earlier in the day, the Hamas-affiliated broadcaster Al-Aqsa TV said Israel had carried out airstrikes in eastern areas of Rafah, according to the Reuters news agency. Israel has said it believes that Rafah, which lies on the border with Egypt and where up to 1.4 million Palestinians are sheltering, is the last stronghold of the Hamas militant group in Gaza. Aid organizations and Israel's allies have warned that an Israeli ground offensive in Rafah could aggravate the humanitarian crisis in the Palestinian enclave. www.dw.com/en/israel-hamas-war-reports-of-idf-strikes-on-rafah-outskirts/live-69004009

AH I don't think so ambassor not under this administion Trump MAYBE LOL! Israeli ambassador expects US to stop funding UN if vote recognizing a Palestinian state passes Israel's Ambassador to the United Nations Gilad Erdan said on Monday that he expects the United States to stop funding the United Nations if it votes to grant the Palestinian Authority (PA) full UN membership. In a statement issued days ahead of Friday's General Assembly meeting, Erdan said passing a resolution granting status and rights of a state to the PA is against the UN Charter. If successful, he said he expects the US to "completely" stop its funding to the UN and its institutions, citing American law. "The Palestinians are once again taking advantage of the automatic majority and the moral decay of the UN," Erdan said. "After failing to obtain the status of a member state through the Security Council as required, they bypass the Council while trampling all the rules and bring the decision to the General Assembly." edition.cnn.com/middleeast/live-news/israel-hamas-war-gaza-news-05-06-24-intl-hnk/index.html

Well look like war cabinet said OKAY Israel's War Cabinet backs Rafah incursion Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has said his War Cabinet has approved a military operation in the southern Gaza city of Rafah. He added that efforts to secure a cease-fire and the release of hostages would continue. A statement from Netanyahu's office said Israel would send a delegation to meet with mediators to try and reach an agreement. His comments came after Hamas announced it had accepted a truce deal proposed by Egypt and Qatar. Meanwhile, the Israeli military announced it was striking Hamas targets in eastern Rafah after issuing evacuation orders to thousands of the city's residents earlier in the day. p.dw.com/p/4fZ5aCopy link www.dw.com/en/middle-east-updates-hamas-agrees-to-cease-fire-proposal/live-69004009
