Ground Invasion of Rafah Would be ‘Intolerable,’ UN Chief Warns

  • Israel has killed more than 34,700 Palestinians, around two-thirds of them children and women, according to Gaza health officials

A ground invasion of Rafah would be “intolerable,” UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres said Monday, calling on Israel and Hamas “to go an extra mile” to reach a ceasefire deal.

“This is an opportunity that cannot be missed, and a ground invasion in Rafah would be intolerable because of its devastating humanitarian consequences, and because of its destabilizing impact in the region,” Guterres said as he received Italian President Sergio Mattarella.
