Egypt's Warning and Support for South Africa's Lawsuit:
Egypt has expressed concerns to Israel, the United States, and European governments regarding the deepening IDF operations in Rafah, stating that the peace treaty with Israel is at risk. Despite this, Egyptian Foreign Minister Sameh Shoukry emphasized the importance of the peace agreement and Egypt's commitment to regional stability. Egypt has also announced support for South Africa's lawsuit in the International Court of Justice, accusing Israel of genocide in Gaza. The lawsuit alleges Israeli attacks on Palestinian civilians and infrastructure, a claim Israel rejects.
Israeli Troops' Operations and Egypt's Response:
Israeli troops continue to operate along the Egypt-Gaza border, with Egypt refusing to open its borders to allow Gazans to escape the conflict. The ongoing war against Hamas has drawn criticism from Egypt, which has called for a ceasefire in Gaza and an end to the Rafah operation. The possibility of a widespread ground offensive in Rafah has heightened tensions, with Egyptian officials warning of potential consequences for the peace treaty if IDF troops enter the area.
Honoring Medical Personnel and Fallen Soldiers:
In a ceremony marking the transition from Memorial Day to Israel's Independence Day, a group of medical and rehabilitation professionals will light a torch to honor their efforts in treating the wounded during the conflict. The torch-lighting ceremony will be held in Gaza border communities attacked by Hamas on October 7. The individuals represent the dedication of medical personnel throughout the country who have worked tirelessly to save lives amid the ongoing conflict.
Recent IDF Operations and Losses:
Five IDF soldiers were killed in Gaza over the weekend, bringing the military death toll to 272 since the start of ground operations in Gaza on October 27. Evacuation orders were issued for Jabalia and Zeitoun in northern Gaza as the IDF intensified its activities in these areas. The recent casualties highlight the ongoing conflict and the challenges faced by IDF soldiers in combatting Hamas in Gaza.
International Aid Pledges and Calls for Ceasefire:
A conference of international donors in Kuwait pledged over $2 billion in aid to Gaza, with funds allocated for humanitarian interventions and early recovery efforts. UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres called for an immediate ceasefire in the Israel-Hamas conflict, emphasizing the need for humanitarian assistance to alleviate the suffering in Gaza. The pledges aim to support life-saving interventions and promote stability in the region.
