Israeli genocide in Gaza

Israel continues to pummel the besieged Gaza Strip with relentless bombardments, showing no scruples about targeting civilians and hospitals. The latest Israeli strikes hit various areas across the Palestinian territory as the regime's military campaign entered its 33rd day. The director of the Indonesian Hospital in Gaza says the hospital’s surroundings are still being hit, warning that the facility’s electricity will be completely cut off in a matter of hours. The regime also continued firing flare bombs in the vicinity of al-Shifa Hospital. The International Committee of the Red Cross said a humanitarian convoy delivering medical supplies to al-Shifa hospital was attacked in Gaza City. Israel began its deadly onslaught on Gaza on October the 7th. The regime’s genocidal war has so far claimed the lives of over ten-thousand-and-three-hundred people, most of them women and children. According to the Palestinian Government Media Office, 15 Palestinians are killed in Gaza every hour as a result of Israel’s indiscriminate strikes. 

Israel killing journalists

The Palestinian Journalists Syndicate has called on the United Nations secretary general to hold Israel accountable for its crimes against journalists in the Gaza Strip. In a letter to Antonio Guterres, the syndicate said Israel continues to target journalists as well as their homes and families across the besieged territory. It urged the UN chief to refer the case of the regime's genocidal crimes to the International Criminal Court. The letter came after a march of coffins in the occupied West Bank city of Ramallah in which Palestinians carried empty coffins with pictures of journalists killed in Israel’s ongoing war on Gaza. Reacting to the regime’s crimes, Reporters Without Borders also warned that journalists in Gaza are in constant and imminent danger of death. It added that nowhere is safe for journalists across the blockaded territory. According to Palestinian sources, 48 journalists have been killed in Israel’s attacks on Gaza since October 7.

US abetting Israel crimes

The United States has once again thrown its full weight behind Israel as the regime pushes ahead with its one-month-old onslaught on the besieged Gaza Strip. The spokesman for the White House National Security Council now says Washington is still not drawing any red lines for Tel Aviv. John Kirby was speaking to reporters who asked him if the rising death toll in the besieged Palestinian territory has led to the re-assessment of the US' stance toward Israel. He also dodged a question on whether President Joe Biden’s administration will suspend or reduce military aid to Israel if civilian casualties are not minimized in Gaza. Kirby stressed that the US will continue to provide the tools and capabilities that Israel needs to continue its war. Elsewhere, in his remarks, Kirby said the US opposes the reoccupation of Gaza by Israel.
