Senior foreign ministry official Jacob Blitstein told the envoys of Ireland, Norway and Spain on May 23 that there will be “serious consequences” for their relations with Israel after they recognise the State of Palestine next week. Mr Netanyahu vowed to continue fighting Hamas to “ensure what we have seen tonight never happens again”.
“We’re not smashing into Rafah, we’re operating carefully and precisely,” armed forces spokesman Daniel Hagari said. He reportedly said that Israel has “not achieved any of the strategic aims of the war – not conditions for a hostage deal; we haven’t toppled Hamas; and we haven’t allowed residents of the periphery to safely return home”.
“We hear nothing but the sound of explosions and gunfire,” said Mahmud al-Sharif, 31, in Jabalia’s adjacent refugee camp.
