All eyes are on Biden after Israel’s brutal attack on Rafah

An Israeli strike killed dozens of people sheltering in the city of Rafah on Sunday evening. The strike hit an area that Israel had designated a safe zone, and the attack came just two days after the International Court of Justice on Friday ordered Israel to “immediately halt its military offensive in Rafah.” 

More than seven months after Israel launched its war on Gaza to destroy Hamas and free the hostages captured in the group’s brazen attack Oct. 7, all eyes have been focused on the territory’s southernmost city, where more than a million Palestinians have fled in an attempt to escape Israel’s ongoing offensive. If it wasn’t clear before, it is now undeniable that the more than a million people crowded into Rafah in tents seeking refuge from death and injury are far from safe.
