The Israel-Hamas conflict continues to escalate, with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu directing the military to plan for the evacuation of the population from Rafah, the last major population center in Gaza not occupied by the Israel Defense Forces. The Hamas-run government media office has called on the UN Security Council to intervene, warning of a potential catastrophe and massacre. Meanwhile, the Iranian foreign minister has met with Hezbollah chief Hassan Nasrallah to discuss the latest political and security developments in the region. Human Rights Watch has warned about the catastrophic consequences of forcibly evacuating displaced Palestinians in Rafah, emphasizing the need for international action to prevent further atrocities.
