Hamas in Gaza: Israel’s Solution to the War on the Lives of a Million Palestinians, and the United Nations’s Assistance

As Jewish Israelis bury their dead and recite psalms for their captured, few want to hear at this moment that millions of Palestinians lack basic human rights. Neither do many Jews abroad. The attack awakened the traumas of our badly scarred people. But the truth remains: The denial of Palestinian freedom sits at the heart of this conflict, which began long before Hamas’s creation in the late 1980s.

In a report in the Hebrew newspaper Yedioth Ahronoth, an officer wrote that the State of Israel has no choice but to turn Gaza into a place that is temporarily or permanently impossible to live in. “Creating a severe humanitarian crisis in Gaza is a necessary means to achieve the goal.” He added, “Gaza will become a place where no human being can exist.” Defense Minister Yoav Gallant said, “We are fighting humans and we are acting accordingly.” Maj. Gen. Alian claimed that there will be no water and electricity in Gaza. There will only be destruction. You will get hell; you wanted hell.

Efforts to flee northern Gaza have also been complicated by Israel’s ongoing airstrikes and military presence. Large numbers of Israeli troops and armored vehicles are assembled just outside Gaza’s border fence.

Gaza City is where the focus is and the hub of Hamas activities, which is where most of the commanders are.

He added that troops are “in formation” surrounding the Gaza Strip for the next stage of operations. Two main routes remained open until 4 p.m. local time, or 9 a.m. ET.

The State Department said that Americans hoping to depart Gaza would be allowed to cross the border until 5pm local time. Between 500 and 600 Palestinian Americans are in Gaza, but it’s unclear how many of them want to leave.

President Biden said that the US is working with Israel, Egypt, Jordan and the United Nations to “to surge support to ease the humanitarian consequences” of Hamas’s attack.

The Secretary of State traveled to Riyadh, Saudi Arabia to discuss the conflict with the Saudi Foreign Minister.

“None of us want to see suffering by civilians on any side, whether it’s in Israel, whether it’s in Gaza, whether it’s anywhere else,” Blinken said. “And we’re working together to do our best to protect them.”

Palestinians are safe in the Gaza Strip: Israel’s response to the Hamas attack on Gaza would be a second nakba

The power shortage has also affected Gaza’s water supply, leaving residents only with unsanitary wells, according to the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees.

It’s become a luxury to brush your teeth. Her family’s home was bombed recently, and they don’t know where to go for shelter.

Israel has launched massive responsive to the deadly attack last week by Hamas militants that left more than 1,300 people dead in southern Israel. In Israel’s bombardment of Gaza, more than 2,200 Palestinians have been killed. On Friday, the Israeli military staged limited raids into the Gaza Strip in an effort to find Israelis who were kidnapped by Hamas.

Israeli forces recovered bodies of several missing Israelis, as well as items that could potentially lead them to more missing people. Israeli military spokesperson Daniel Hagari added that troops destroyed “terrorist infrastructure and squads, including a Hamas unit that fired anti-tank missiles toward Israel.”

Hecht added that violence in the West Bank — which Israelis refer to as Judea and Samaria — spiked as well, leading the Israeli Defense Forces to take action there.

We captured 220 people and 130 of them are from Hamas. And again, we’re following closely any nationalistic crime from our side, too,” Hecht said, referring to an attack by Jewish settlers on Palestinians in the West Bank, captured on video by the Israeli human rights organization B’Tselem.

The depopulation of Gaza would be manifestly inhumane and a violation of international law. President Biden and his advisers should ask themselves how it can be in the national interest of the United States to allow another mass expulsion of Palestinians from their homes. Such a cataclysm would be a second nakba, or catastrophe, as the displacement of 1948 is called. The United States would thereby be a partner with Israel in creating a future for the Palestinians that offers only periodic death, destruction and dispossession and permanent subjugation or expulsion.
