Israel’s ‘unbearable’ Rafah strike triggers global outrage
Jerusalem | With international condemnation mounting, Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on Monday the killing of dozens of people at a refugee camp in Rafah was “a tragic accident”, but gave no sign of curbing the Israeli offensive in the southern Gaza Strip city.
The deadly fire that tore through the encampment on Sunday night after an airstrike came at a delicate time for Israel, just days after the International Court of Justice ordered the military to halt its offensive in Rafah and as diplomats aimed to restart negotiations for a ceasefire between Israel and Hamas.
