[Uncle Joe]

Demonstrators gather to protest Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's reported decision to recall Israeli representatives from cease-fire negotiations, in Jerusalem, Feb. 14, 2024.

Relatives of Israeli hostages held by Hamas said it was a scandalous decision by Israel to not send negotiators to the next session of the Cairo talks.

The move "amounts to a death sentence" for the remaining hostages in Hamas' tunnels, the group said, in a sign of growing domestic dissent in Israel about the war.

Richard Peeperkorn, the World Health Organization representative for Gaza and the West Bank, said an assault on Rafah would be "an unfathomable catastrophe ... and would even further expand the humanitarian disaster beyond imagination."

U.N. Secretary-General Antonio Guterres told reporters Tuesday, "My sincere hope is that the negotiations for the release of the hostages and some form of cessation of hostilities to be successful, to avoid an all-out offensive over Rafah, where the core of the humanitarian system is located. And that would have devastating consequences."
