Can Israel ignore the pressure? International condemnation swells after Rafah offensive
Edité par France 24 - 2024
That war could last another seven months, says a top official in Binyamin Netanyahu's government. Israeli citizens are also traumatised by October 7 and its aftermath, but are not seeing the same images as the rest of the world on their social media feeds.
Then there's Israel’s biggest backer, with a Biden administration that so far refuses to say that Israel’s operation in Rafah crosses its red lines and a Republican opposition that is 100 percent behind Netanyahu.
In past Middle East wars, the US has often been the one to call time. Why, after nearly eight months, is this time different?
Produced by Alessandro Xenos, Rebecca Gnignati and Juliette Brown.

Can Israel ignore the pressure? Young people outraged by the graphic images of the Rafah tent fire that killed dozens of civilians are out in the streets of Paris and Marseille, this as Ireland, Norway and Spain recognise a Palestinian state and international courts mount cases over the war in Gaza.
