Human rights organizations and international entities are raising alarms over Israel's plans to expand its ground offensive in Rafah, Gaza, warning of severe consequences including mass killings and forcible displacement of Palestinians. Al Haq Organization and Al Mezan Center for Human Rights have described the situation as a continuation of the Nakba, with potential genocidal acts including forcible transfer causing bodily and mental harm. Amidst these warnings, the U.S. Senate has voted to send an additional $14 billion to Israel, while Amnesty International has highlighted the imminent risk of genocide facing Palestinians in southern Gaza. South Africa has called on the International Court of Justice (ICJ) to pressure Israel to halt the Rafah offensive, a move echoed by Italy and France, who have also voiced their concerns over the planned invasion.
