Occupied Territories: Agencies - Europe and the Arabs
The Israeli violations and suffering to which the Palestinian people are exposed continue in light of the silence of the international community, which was content with statements of condemnation and warnings of the repercussions of the matter. The Israeli occupation forces stormed the towns of Anabta and Kafr al-Labad, east of Tulkarm. According to the Palestinian News Agency, local sources reported that a large force of the occupation army, consisting of a number of military vehicles, stormed the two towns, roamed the main streets and neighborhoods, and conducted searches and sweeps there.
She added that violent confrontations broke out between young men and the occupation soldiers in the two towns, who fired heavy bullets, resulting in two young men being injured by shrapnel. They were treated at the Zakat Clinic in Anabta, and their condition was described as minor.
The Palestinian Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates condemned on Saturday the continuation of the “genocidal” war committed by the Israeli occupation government against the Palestinian people for the 162nd day in a row, through which it deepened and expanded its complex crimes in destroying the entire Gaza Strip, and killing and committing more mass massacres against civilians. Including its use of the policy of starvation and thirst as tools for its brutal aggression against the Palestinians.
The ministry said - in a press statement - that the occupation does not care about international and American demands and appeals calling for the protection of civilians and securing their basic humanitarian needs, and the warnings that the world agrees on about the humanitarian catastrophe that will result and deepen if the occupation forces invade Rafah and its region.
The Palestinian Foreign Ministry denounced the escalation in attacks and violations by armed settler militias against Palestinian citizens, their land, property, homes, vehicles, and holy sites in many locations in the occupied West Bank, including East Jerusalem, within the framework of the war of racist settler occupation and its ongoing aggression, with the aim of deepening the creeping gradual annexation of the West Bank and allocating it as a strategic depth for settlement. .
The Ministry saw that the Israeli right feeds on the cycle of wars and violence and continues to ignite more fires in the arena of conflict and the region, and replaces political solutions to crises and conflict with a brutal military and security logic. It confirms that this logic is a recipe for blowing up the arena of conflict and expanding the circle of wars in the entire region and does not lead to achieving security and stability. For anyone.
The Ministry stressed that Netanyahu is attacking the foundations of the global system, underestimating its legitimacy, and forcing him to lose what remains of his credibility, not only in implementing international legitimacy resolutions and international law, but also in everything related to humanity and bias toward civilians.
This came after the United Nations Population Fund warned that the situation in the Gaza Strip would exceed the stage of a humanitarian catastrophe in the near future, according to the American Al-Hurra channel on Saturday.
The Executive Director of the United Nations Population Fund, Natalia Kanem, had previously described the humanitarian situation in the Gaza Strip as "beyond hopeless."
Kanem said - during a televised interview - that meeting the necessary needs of mothers in Gaza has become difficult, noting that the aid arriving is only “the tip of the iceberg.”
She stressed that pregnant women in Gaza cannot obtain sufficient water and food, noting that 180 babies are born every day under extremely harsh conditions.
She explained that there is an increase in miscarriages, and an increase in the number of pregnant women who need to undergo caesarean sections and obtain medication, and for this to happen safely, and all of this becomes increasingly impossible.
