Why it matters:
The ongoing aggression committed by the Israeli regime against the Palestinians, including extensive infrastructure destruction and the displacement of thousands of Palestinians, is deeply concerning. The situation presents significant human rights and security challenges for the international community.
The big picture:
On the 47th day of the Israeli army's extensive operation in the northern West Bank, assaults continue in various parts of the region, with the occupiers maintaining a blockade around the camps in northern West Bank.
The regime's war minister, Yisrael Katz, has ordered the continued occupation of refugee camps, leading to widespread displacement and the destruction of Palestinians' homes.
What they're saying:
Philippe Lazzarini, the director of the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA), criticized the Israeli government for its widespread demolition of homes in the West Bank. He warned that these actions have severely impacted the lives of thousands of Palestinians.
Abdul Rahman Shadid, a prominent figure in the Palestinian Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas), commented on the Israeli aggression in the West Bank, stating that Israel's objective through these criminal acts is to suppress the resistance and aims to expand these operations to other camps in the West Bank.
Key points:
- There has been a significant rise in the destruction of civilian homes and infrastructure in the Jenin, Tulkarm, and Nur Shams camps.
- Tens of thousands of residents from the camps have been displaced, with many having no place to go back to.
- The EU has urged Israel to adhere to international law and guarantee the safety of civilians.
- The head of UNRWA has cautioned about the severe impact of Israeli actions on the lives of many Palestinians.
Go deeper:
The Israeli regime is conducting attacks on residential, medical, educational, and religious establishments in the West Bank amidst significant US backing and the apparent silence and inaction of European governments that profess to uphold human rights.
