• Israel's military offensive in Gaza, triggered by Hamas attacks, has caused the death of over 28,000 Palestinian civilians, massive exodus and a growing humanitarian crisis.
• The Israeli government plans to invade Rafah, a densely populated border city, claiming the liberation of Israeli hostages.
• Israel has been accused of violating international law and causing an indiscriminate massacre of civilians, leading to growing calls for a truce and civilian evacuation.
• Even as the U.S shows reluctance to the invasion of Rafah without an exit plan for Palestinians, Israel has disregarded measures to prevent genocidal acts in Gaza.
• Spain and Ireland are calling on the European Commission to investigate whether Israel is violating its association agreement with the EU, which stipulates the “respect for human rights”.
• The gap between Netanyahu's position and the international community is increasingly evident due to criticisms, accusations, and discrepancies regarding his military response.

Conclusion: Despite growing international pressures, Israel stands its course. For the situation to change, there will need to be political and moral firmness that not only denounces but also sanctions human rights violations.
