Palestine’s Foreign Minister Riad Malki, speaking at the Antalya Diplomacy Forum in Turkey, said Israeli PM Netanyahu was “prolonging the war” for his own interests and warned that he would likely order the invasion of Rafah if a ceasefire is not reached, Al Jazeera reports citing Wafa news agency.

“The Israeli occupation aims to strike all aspects of life in the Gaza Strip”, including by starving and thirsting Palestinians in Gaza and “depriving them of their most basic human rights”, Malki said at the forum.
