Allow me to aggregate plenty of news in the same post for a good reason. Heads of State, of government and ministers of plenty of countries though the world have urged Israel to pause hostilities during the last few days, including many that have positioned with them during the last few months.

Biden says he is pushing for six-week Gaza pause

China Calls on Israel to Halt Military Operations in Gaza as Soon as Possible

Macron calls for ‘lasting ceasefire’ in Gaza

German foreign minister heads to Israel to urge for ceasefire as IDF prepares to enter Rafah

Egypt, Slovenia call for immediate ceasefire in Gaza

UK Foreign Secretary calls for ‘immediate pause in the fighting’

The reason for this is that everyone who is taken a hard look at the situation is well aware that the next move declared by Israel is going to have catastrophic dimensions: if they attack and invade Rafah, the Gazan city where the immense majority of displaced population has ended up, we’ll see the death of tens of thousands of civilians in a very short time, to the point that even Israeli allies might have difficulty justifying it.

      @TheAlbatross And in several cases (US, UK, Germany) these same countries are also withdrawing humanitarian aid in Gaza by defunding UNRWA.

      However, many other nations are also protesting this travesty.
