This disturbing report reveals so much about how Israel is allowed to get away with

terrible crimes on a mass scale and about how the US plays a pivotal role in facilitating them.

Now around 1.5 million Palestinians, a majority of Gaza's pre-war population, that is those who survived, are crammed into

Raffer, a city and a very south near the border with Egypt, a town which had a very small pre-war population, certainly not meant to accommodate

a population of that size or anything close.

Now most of Gaza civilian infrastructure has been severely damaged or destroyed over the last

six and a half months.

In nearby Khan Yunus, after Israeli forces withdrew, we saw pictures of total devastation

with around 90% of buildings estimated to have been destroyed.

We can see that the Israeli state has willfully, intentionally left most of Gaza uninhabitable

as indeed many of its leaders and officials promised they would do.

In Raffa meanwhile up to 40% of buildings are estimated to have been destroyed,

which in any other context would rightly be regarded as frankly apocalyptic,

but makes Raffaffer one of the least

devastated parts of Gaza. Now supposedly the US Israel's main patron and

protector of course has been warning Israel off from an assault on Raffer but Israel Israel keeps saying, loudly and proudly, that they're going to attack Raffer. Indeed, Benjamin Netanyahu has suggested that is a date already finalised. If that happens, the consequences will be completely catastrophic as we'll discuss.

But now we hear a change of plan is mooted from the United States.

According to the Katari media outlet, Al-Arabi Al-Jadid, Egyptian officials have told them the following.

The American administration showed acceptance of the plan previously presented by the occupation government

regarding the military operation in Raffer in exchange for not carrying out a large-scale attack against

Iran. The officials tell the outlet that preparations are underway so Egypt

can deal with any possible impact of the planned assault on Raffer.
