Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Monday called the deadly Israeli airstrike on a camp for displaced people in Rafah a 'tragic mistake.' The Israeli military said it's investigating the incident in the southern Gaza city. At least 45 people were killed and 200 were wounded in the Sunday airstrike, according to Gazan authorities. The Israeli military claimed it struck a Hamas compound in the area, killing two senior officials.
The UN Security Council will hold an emergency meeting about the attack Tuesday, according to a UN diplomat. Qatar said Israel’s strike could “hinder” ongoing negotiations aiming for the release of hostages and reaching a ceasefire. Talks are set to resume Tuesday, officials said. Israel's government is facing an unprecedented level of diplomatic pressure over its war in Gaza, while also dealing with dissent at home.
