Why it matters:
The ongoing violence in Gaza highlights not only the toll on Palestinian lives but also the international community’s failure to intervene. With the death toll rising, the lack of accountability from global powers has fueled widespread criticism and calls for action.
The big picture:
Since Israeli attack on October 7, 2023, over 52,000 Palestinians, mostly women and children, have been killed.
The Israeli attack has devastated Gaza, leaving the area almost uninhabitable.
Kuyateh’s remarks underscore the larger issue of international inaction, which some view as enabling the continuation of atrocities.
What he's saying:
In an exclusive interview with Iran Press, Kuyateh accused Israel of committing crimes against humanity, asserting that the massacres in Gaza are a clear violation of international humanitarian law.
He blamed the international community, specifically the UN, the Security Council, and the U.S., for their silence and failure to act.
Kuyateh calls for global accountability, citing the shameful silence of international institutions.
Key points:
- Israeli military actions are being described as genocide and ethnic cleansing.
- The lack of consequences has enabled Israel to continue its military operations without deterrence.
