Israel has announced that they will conduct a ground invasion of Rafah if their hostages are not returned by Ramadan, which is big news for anyone who has been keeping up with the conflict. Following Hamas' original October 7 attacks on Israel, they took hundreds of Israelis hostage, and Israel has been pounding Gaza to obliterate Hamas and get their hostages back. However, to only hostages Hamas has returned was when they struck a ceasefire deal with Israel, but Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu stated that Israel would only consider any type of ceasefire in the future if all hostages were returned. After Israel's constant bombings across Gaza, over 1.5 million people are sheltering at the border city of Rafah, hoping to cross into Egypt. Egypt has begun construction of a wall to stop illegal crossings, so getting out of Gaza is becoming harder and harder. Even a few trucks of aid need weeks, even months, just to get into the strip, let alone distribute their goods. Now, Israel has announced that if all hostages are not returned by the start of Ramadan, which begins on March 10, they will launch a full-scale invasion of Rafah. This could potentially kill thousands of people who are already in terrible conditions, and it would be the destruction of the last safe haven for Palestinians in Gaza. Palestinian representatives have taken the issue of Israel's occupation of Palestine to the International Court of Justice, or World Court, which is expected to make a decision on the matter soon.
