The Israeli occupation forces demolished more than 2,500 homes since the ceasefire was announced on 10 October, 2025 according to the Secretary-General of the Palestinian National Initiative, Dr. Mustafa Barghouti. He condemned the ongoing Israeli demolitions in the Gaza Strip, as a flagrant violation of all international laws and conventions.
Barghouti told Jordan 24 the continued policy of systematic demolition and destruction of homes and infrastructure is a war crime against humanity and clearly exposes the falsehood of the occupation’s claims that it is adhering to the ceasefire. He stressed the true aim of these Israeli policies is to deepen the humanitarian catastrophe, is clear collective punishment and create a wave of forced displacement out of Gaza.
Barghouti holds both the Israeli occupation government fully responsible for these crimes and that of the international community for failing to provide protection for the Palestinian people and for not compelling the Israeli occupation to immediately cease its violations.
Barghouti called for an immediate and complete halt to all demolitions and aggression against the Gaza Strip, the formation of an independent international commission of inquiry to hold those responsible for the crimes of demolition and destruction accountable, the provision of international protection for the Palestinian people, and guarantees for the unrestricted entry of relief and reconstruction materials.
He also stressed the necessity of holding the occupation accountable before international courts for its ongoing crimes against civilians, affirming that the occupation’s crimes will not break the Palestinian people’s resolve to remain steadfast on their land and thwart the plans of ethnic cleansing.
