Five Infants Die in Gaza Because of The Freeze
CrossFireArabia- February 25, 2025
“Nine infants were hospitalized in the past two weeks due to health complications caused by severe cold,” Saeed Salah, Director of the Patient’s Friends Benevolent Society Hospital in Gaza, told Anadolu.
“Of the nine cases, five infants aged between one day and two weeks died,” he added.
Salah said one baby is still on a ventilator due to his serious health condition, however, three others were discharged from hospital.
He said the nine new born were transferred to the hospital from northern Gaza because the region there has been completely destroyed and where most of the population has been displaced and are living in tents following Israel’s destructive war on the enclave.
Salah appealed to the international community to intervene to allow the entry of mobile homes, tents, and fuel into Gaza to provide shelter to thousands of Palestinians.
Hamas blamed Israel’s “criminal policies” for the death of the babies in Gaza news of which are trending on the social media.
In a statement, the group called for immediate intervention “to stop Israel’s violations of the ceasefire agreement and allow the entry of urgent shelter, heating, and medical aid supplies into Gaza to the children there.”
According to Gaza’s government media office, nearly 1.5 million Palestinians have been left without home or shelter after Israel waged its deadly war on the enclave.
A ceasefire and prisoner exchange agreement has been in place in Gaza since last month, pausing the Israeli war that has killed at least 48,350 people, mostly women and children, and left the enclave in ruins.
Last November, the International Criminal Court issued arrest warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his former Defense Minister Yoav Gallant for war crimes and crimes against humanity in Gaza.
Israel also faces a genocide case at the International Court of Justice for its war on the enclave.
Expert: Israel Seeks to Displace Palestinians by Making Rebuilding Costs Too High

International law expert Dr. Anis Al-Qassem warned against the demolition and displacement acts carried out by the Israeli occupation army in the West Bank, adding the demolition and bulldozing operations aim at forcing the Palestinian people off their land.
Al-Qassem told Jordan24 that the occupation army is carrying out what he called “systematic impoverishment operations” against the Palestinian people, such they would be unable to rebuild what has been destroyed due to the huge sums of money that would be needed by the Palestinian National Authority and the residents together. He pointed out that this is what the Israeli occupation government seeks and is doing.
Al-Qassem added that the extent of the destruction of camps, homes and infrastructure in the West Bank is comparable to what the Israelis did in the Gaza Strip, and no party will be able to finance the exorbitant costs which will automatically push the people to voluntarily leave in search of a livelihood in light of the difficult circumstances they live in within the West Bank.
“Unfortunately, we cannot ask the Arab countries to intervene, given the fact that they completely ended their connection with the Palestinian cause, and this was clear in the Gaza war, despite the cohesion and solidarity of western countries with Israel, which today enjoys their unlimited support, economically, militarily and technologically,” he concluded.

Yair Netanyahu is seeking legal action in response to accusations made by Knesset member Naama Lazmi that he beat his father, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
Yair Netanyahu, the son of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, has filed a defamation lawsuit against Knesset member Naama Lazimi, following her statement that he was deported to the United States after allegedly beating his father.
According to Channel 14, Yair is seeking 300,000 shekels (approximately $84,000) in damages.
He filed the lawsuit in response to Lazimi’s comment during a session of the Knesset Finance Committee on Sunday. Lazimi said that Yair was sent abroad after an incident in which he allegedly beat Netanyahu.
The lawsuit describes Lazimi’s statements as “an absolute lie,” accusing her of attempting to damage Yair’s reputation with politically motivated remarks.
Yair’s lawyer, who remains unnamed, pointed out that parliamentary immunity does not protect Knesset members from defamation, particularly when the statements made are unrelated to their official duties.
During the session, Lazimi also questioned the costs of Sara Netanyahu’s presence abroad, asking who was funding her trips and the associated expenses.
Additionally, Lazimi raised concerns about the state’s spending on Yair Netanyahu’s security, which was reported last year to amount to 2.5 million shekels (about $700,000) annually.
She questioned whether this funding was still being drawn from the state budget and linked it to claims that Yair had to leave Tel Aviv after an alleged confrontation with his father according to The Palestine Chronicle.
This lawsuit comes amid rising political tensions within Israel, as Netanyahu and his government face growing opposition criticism over both domestic and foreign issues.
Netanyahu has led the current government since December 2022, and on November 21, 2023, the International Criminal Court issued an arrest warrant for him on charges of war crimes and crimes against humanity in Gaza.
From October 7, 2023, to January 19, 2025, Israel committed genocide in Gaza, leaving over 160,000 Palestinians—mostly women and children—dead or injured, and more than 14,000 still missing.

From Voice of Rabbis:
In 1948 Albert Einstein along with 28 other prominent Jewish leaders wrote a letter to the New York Times…
It stated that the Israeli political party resembled the Nazi Party in its ideology and methods.
Einstein went on to say that he opposed the state of Israel and it was against the religion of Judaism.
Albert Einstein passionately argued against the creators and creation of Israel. He called it a terrorist organisation. He likened them to Nazis and fascists.
