• There's a pressing need to prevent Rafah, in the south of the Gaza Strip, from becoming a hell due to the wars led by Israeli Prime Minister, Benyamin Netanyahu.
• Israel's attempt to obliterate Hamas has led to the death of around 30,000 people and has obstructed the liberation of Israeli hostages in Gaza.
• Israel's allies oppose the ongoing violence, but their lack of action threatens their own moral standing.
• President Joe Biden's strategy of letting Israel act first and then launching a major diplomatic initiative is proving counterproductive.
• Israel's strategy of obstructing humanitarian aid forecasts the difficulties of reconstruction once the conflict ends.

Conclusion: The situation in Rafah can be seen as a symbol of the West's failure in handling the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. The real objective should be distancing Hamas through the construction of a political horizon.
