Scott Mc Kiernan Presents zReportage.com Issue #939 Story of the Week: Published: TUESDAY May 14, 2024: ‘No ENDGAME In Sight’ by ZUMA Press award winning photo-journalist Saher Alghorra: Nearly 360,000 people had fled the Gaza Strip’s southernmost city of Rafah, according to the UN. The Israel Defense Forces sparked the exodus, issuing evacuation orders by text messages and fliers dropped from the sky. IDF troops have pushed across the southern Palestinian territory in what the military says are limited and precise attacks targeting Hamas. The U.S. has repeatedly warned Israel against launching a major military ground operation in Rafah, fearing mass casualties. The White House, in tandem with other countries, has also increased pressure on Netanyahu’s government to form a plan to address the humanitarian crisis caused by the war, and for the so-called ”day after,” to figure out who or what will replace Hamas as Gaza’s governing body. Without an alternative to govern Gaza, the group, both Israel and the U.S. call a terrorist organization could stage a comeback. Welcome to ‘No ENDGAME In Sight’
