Israeli forces order evacuation for most of Rafah ahead of attack on the area

The Israeli military issued evacuation orders on Monday for most of Rafah and suggested it may soon launch another ground operation in the city after its ceasefire with Hamas ended.
The evacuation orders appeared to cover almost all the city and nearby areas. The military ordered civilians to head to Mawasi, where tent camps were set up along the coast.
«The IDF is returning to intense operations to dismantle the capabilities of the terrorist organizations in these areas,» a spokesperson for the Israeli Defense Forces wrote on X. «For your safety, move immediately to the shelters in Al Mawasi.»
Earlier this month, Israel ended its ceasefire with Hamas and renewed its air and ground attacks against the terror group. In early March, Israel cut off all supplies and humanitarian aid to Gaza to pressure Hamas to accept changes to the ceasefire agreement.

Israel launched a major operation in Rafah in May, decimating large parts of the area. The military seized a strategic corridor along the border and the Rafah crossing with Egypt, which is Gaza’s only path to the outside world that was not controlled by Israel.
Israel was expected to withdraw from the corridor under the ceasefire before later refusing, citing the need to block weapons smuggling.
Israel has said it would intensify its military operations until Hamas releases the remaining 59 hostages in its custody, including 24 who are believed to be alive. Israel has also called on the terror group to disarm and leave the territory, conditions that were not in the ceasefire agreement. Hamas has rejected those demands.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Sunday that his country would take control of security in Gaza after the war and would impose President Donald Trump’s controversial proposal to resettle the territory’s civilians in other countries.
The proposal has been universally rejected by Palestinians, who view it as forcible displacement from their homeland. Human rights experts also say the plan would likely violate international law.
Hamas has insisted on moving forward with the signed ceasefire deal, which called for the remainder of the hostages to be released in exchange for a lasting ceasefire and Israel pulling its troops out of Gaza. Negotiations over those parts of the agreement were supposed to have begun in February after some hostages were freed in exchange for more than 1,000 Palestinian prisoners in Israeli custody.

The war began when Hamas launched an attack on Israel on Oct. 7, 2023, killing roughly 1,200 people and kidnapping another 251, most of whom have since been released in ceasefires or other deals.
More than 50,000 Palestinians have been killed by the Israeli military’s retaliation, according to the Hamas-run government’s Gaza Health Ministry, which does not differentiate between civilians and terrorists.
At the height of the war, roughly 90% of Gaza’s population had been displaced, and many had fled.

Australian authorities have arrested and charged the country’s most decorated living soldier, Ben Roberts-Smith, 47, with five war crime murders allegedly committed during the war in Afghanistan.
Roberts-Smith, a former member of the Australian Defence Force, was arrested at Sydney Airport on Tuesday. His arrest has sparked outcry from a former Australian prime minister, who argued its unfair to judge the actions of «men in mortal combat by the standards of ordinary civilian life.» X owner Elon Musk also weighed in on the arrest, calling it «insane.»
The Australian Federal Police and the Office of the Special Investigator said Roberts-Smith is being charged in connection with the killings of five unarmed Afghans in three separate incidents between 2009 and 2012. AFP Commissioner Krissy Barrett alleged that Roberts-Smith either killed the unarmed Afghans himself or instructed a subordinate to kill them. If convicted, Roberts-Smith faces life imprisonment on each charge.
«It will be alleged the victims were not taking part in hostilities at the time of their alleged murder in Afghanistan,» Barrett said during a press conference. «It will be alleged the victims were detained, unarmed and were under the control of ADF members when they were killed.»

The investigation into Roberts-Smith began in 2021, according to Ross Barnett, director of investigations at the Office of the Special Investigator. Roberts-Smith received the Victoria Cross after storming two enemy machine guns during his fifth tour in Afghanistan.
Barnett said at the press conference that the investigation was «under challenging circumstances,» given that some of the murders occurred well over a decade ago and investigators were unable to visit Afghanistan.
«We don’t have access to the crime scenes, we don’t have photographs, site plans, measurements, the recovery of projectiles, blood spatter analysis, all of those things we would normally get at a crime scene,» Barnett said at the press conference.

While Australia’s current prime minister has yet to weigh in on the arrest, former Australian Prime Minister and leader of the Liberal Party Tony Abbott expressed his support for Roberts-Smith on X in a lengthy post.
«If Ben Roberts-Smith transgressed, why wasn’t this picked up prior to his gallantry awards and why wasn’t any culture of brutality towards prisoners detected by his more senior officers, and dealt with quickly, rather than being allowed to fester, as has been alleged, for over a decade?» Abbott wrote.
Allegations that Roberts-Smith engaged in war crimes began circulating publicly in 2017 and 2018 in articles published by The Age, the Sydney Morning Herald and The Canberra Times.
Roberts-Smith filed a defamation suit against the papers, which became Australia’s most expensive defamation trial, but in 2023, a Federal Court judge ruled that four of the six murder allegations brought by the papers against Roberts-Smith were legitimate.
In one of the allegations ruled to have merit by Justice Anthony Besanko, Roberts-Smith allegedly marched a handcuffed Afghan man named Ali Jan off the edge of a 10-meter cliff. He survived the fall, but Roberts-Smith and his fellow soldiers walked down a footpath to meet him. Roberts-Smith then ordered a subordinate, known as Person 11 in court, to shoot him.

The High Court dismissed Roberts-Smith’s appeal of the ruling in September 2025.
The criminal charges against Roberts-Smith stem from a joint effort by OSI and AFP. The two Australian agencies have conducted 53 investigations into ADF members tied to war crime allegations in Afghanistan. Ten of the investigations remain ongoing.

Trump calls into Vance-Orban Hungary event: ‘My kind of people’

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
President Donald Trump, hours away from the deadline he put on Iran to reach a deal, took a few moments on Tuesday to hail Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban in an impromptu call-in to a campaign rally address by Vice President JD Vance.
«Mr. President, you are on with about 5,000 Hungarian patriots, and I think they love you even more than they love Viktor Orban,» Vance told the president in a call that blared over the speakers at the event in Hungary.
Speaking by phone to what attendees described as roughly 5,000 supporters before Sunday’s election, Trump praised Orban as «a fantastic man» who has «done a fantastic job» leading his country.
«I love Hungary and I love that Viktor, I’ll tell you,» Trump said. «He’s a fantastic man. We’ve had a tremendous relationship, and he does a job. Remember this? He didn’t allow people to storm your country and invade your country like other people have and ruin their countries.»

«Frankly, he’s kept your country good. He’s kept Hungarian people in your country. And he’s done a fantastic job,» Trump added.
Trump credited Orban’s hard-line immigration stance with keeping Hungary «strong» and said Hungarians were «my kind of people.»

Trump said he and the U.S. are with Orban «all the way.»
After Trump’s remarks, Vance told the crowd they had to get Orban reelected as Hungary’s prime minister.
Vance’s visit to Budapest, just days before a vote that independent polls suggest Orban might lose, underscores how crucial Trump’s «MAGA» movement deems the veteran Hungarian nationalist’s reelection.

«It’s a real honor to talk to you: You’re really incredible people with great enthusiasm and brilliance,» Trump told the crowd to conclude brief remarks.
«Brilliant people, and I really love it. You have a man that kept your country strong and he kept your country good, and you don’t have problems with all of the problems that so many other countries have because they let their countries be invaded,» Trump added. «And you don’t have that problem because of Viktor Orban. That’s the only reason you don’t have that problem. There was a lot of pressure on him to do it, and those other countries made big mistakes. So I wish you a lot of luck and I love you all.»

«What has happened in this country, what has happened in the midst of this election campaign, is one of the worst examples of foreign election interference that I’ve ever seen or ever even read about,» Vance told a news conference. «The bureaucrats in Brussels have tried to destroy the economy of Hungary. They have tried to make Hungary less energy-independent. They have tried to drive up costs for Hungarian consumers, and they’ve done it all because they hate this guy [Orban].»

The visit broke with the norms of prior U.S. presidential administrations of not openly campaigning in foreign elections, especially for a government that has maintained close ties with Russian President Vladimir Putin.
Orban has maintained cordial ties with Moscow despite the Ukraine war, and says Russian energy is essential for Hungary.
Trump has already personally endorsed Orban, 62, as «a truly strong and powerful leader» and Vance lavished praise on the Hungarian prime minister’s policies on everything from energy to the war in Ukraine.
«I’m here because of the moral cooperation between our two countries, because what the United States and Hungary together represent under Viktor’s leadership and under President Trump’s leadership is the defense of Western civilization,» Vance said.

Orban, fighting the toughest reelection bid of his career after 16 years in power, hailed what he called «a golden age» in relations between Hungary and the U.S. under Trump’s leadership.
