ISRAEL: Pressure Rising On PM Over Rafah Air Strike & Egyptian Soldier Death 1/2

ISRAEL

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu could face an attempt by opposition parties to oust him in the coming days amid a series of events that have raised international focus on the actions of the Israeli gov't and IDF in Gaza. An air strike in Rafah on 27 May killed up to 45 according to the Hamas-run health ministry, with Netanyahu calling the incident a "tragic mishap". This was followed by the shooting dead of a member of the Egyptian armed forced near to the Rafah border crossing. Reports suggest that an exchange of fire between the IDF and Hamas on the Gaza side of the border resulted in a gun battle that saw the Egyptian soldier killed. 

  • There has been a significant international reaction to the Gaza air strike. On the day that Ireland, Spain and Norway officially recognise a Palestinian state, Irish Foreign Minister Micheal Martin has said that at the EU Foreign Affairs Council taking place presently, ministers for the first time discussed imposing sanctions on Israel if it does not comply with the ICJ ruling of last week demanding an end to the Rafah offensive. 
  • UK Foreign Minister Lord Cameron has said that the IDF investigation into the air strike 'must be swift, comprehensive, and transparent'.
