The ongoing conflict in Gaza has lead to a sever humanitarian crisis with nearly half a million facing starvation. Reports show that 96 percent of the Gaza population is experiencing acute food insecurity with many resorting to desperate measure such as boiling weeds and and eating animal feeds to survive.

Israel has quitely openly said it will starve Gaza to get to Hamas. This was was famoustly said by Israeli Defence Minister Yoav Gallant when he said “No electricity. No food. No fuel. No water,” for the people of Gaza. There will be a complete siege.

Today, starvation is complete, total, hermatically sealed between the north and south of Gaza. A picture of a child rummaging in garbage for scraps of food are a misnomer since there is no food here because Israel is the ultimate controller of what gets in and what gets out.

Children are dying of starvation in their parents’ arms as famine spreads through Gaza under different hashtags. #Gaza #GazaStraving #gazaunderseige #Israel_Enemy_of_Humanity #IsraelTerroristState

The use of starvation as a weapon is against international law but Israeli leaders believe they are exempt from that.

Starvation is the weapon of war of weak armies consisting of a group of mercenaries gathered by the Zionist occupation state from all over the world. When their contracts expire, they will return to being your neighbors.#famine_in_north_gaza #Northern_Gaza_Dying_of_Hunger pic.twitter.com/AKHLFKL7K6

As well as the massive bombardment, Israel has induced a program of mass starvation on the people of Gaza by banning the entry of UN aid trucks from enter the territory.

Supplied with tons of aid, food and medical supplies thousands of trucks stay idle on the Gaza borders unable to enter without Israeli permission. Israeli has six border crossings with Gaza but all these are tightly shut.

The world will continue to hear the war of extermination and starvation against the Palestinian people. This is a war of hunger and thirst and it increases in intensity.

More than 50,000 children in Gaza are at risk of death from malnutrition as the policy of starvation continues to be applied .

One report by the Washington Post states that about 500,000 Palestinians are on the brink of starvation while aid groups say it has become increasingly dangerous to distribute aid in Gaza amidst Israel’s ongoing military operations and against aid trucks.

To whose who don’t believe Gaza is being starved there is plenty of evidence of the fact that there is mass hunger.

🔻
Starvation and trying to get food scenes are catastrophic in which innocent children with their tender bodies become victims.

The clip starts with scenes of the “enormous” levels of destruction of the multi-story buildings. What is the size of bombs that did this the reporter asks.

She is taken on a tour of the wreckage. “This is how people live,” the man said.

“I was going to say. Is this how you are living, amidst the rubble? Damon asks.”

“Yep, this is how we live?”

“This was my parents house,” now of course it’s in absolute wreck.

“This is just beyond the scope of comprehension,” the reporter says.

“We used to sleep here,” one little girl says. “When the Israelis bombed the house, my uncle was martyred, his four sons were killed and so my maternal uncle was martyred as well,” she added.

“We were all inside the house and buried under the debris but thank God we were brought out alive, we were injured but now we are ok.” She pointed out about 10 people were killed in that strike.

“In this block of houses between 87 and 90 people were killed here because of the Israeli bombing,” said another eyewitness.

“A whole neighborhood caved in because of the intensity of the bombings with tower blocks going down… and this is not to say anything about the many people who are still deeply buried under the rubble…which we can get them out.

All of the areas in Gaza that were invaded by Israeli occupation forces have been left unrecognizable, as Israel systematically detonated residential blocks and destroyed critical infrastructure, preventing Palestinians from returning and rendering them completely uninhabitable.

Damon who is the founder of the International Network for Aid, Relief, and Assistance (INARA), observed during her recent trip to Gaza City to distribute aid, “I saw how widespread the destruction is of every single aspect of life that would make the Gaza Strip inhabitable.”

Damon described the scene in Gaza City, saying, “Residents could not recognize the streets or the main thoroughfares because of the level of destruction.”

According to the Israeli Yedioth Ahronoth the Israeli army has demolished more than 35,000 permanent buildings and 84,000 temporary buildings in Gaza since the beginning of was on Gaza after 7 October 2023.

But Mujahed was the worse to suffer. He was beaten and shot twice both in the hand and leg. As he fell down in front of the vehicle, one Israeli soldier shot him in the leg. But this was just the beginning because the soldiers decided they wanted a show.

“As soon as the Israeli soldiers arrived, they stepped on my head, they stepped on my head while I was wounded. They hit me in the face, kicked me, hit me on the wound in my leg and twisted and injured my hand…”

With the young men sprawelled in pain on the floor, four soldiers picked him by the arms and legs and hurled him onto the hood of the armored vehicle but he fell down again. The soldiers did it again, this time he maintained position on of the car.

"They were laughing while beating me"

This is the why he put it. “Every bone was broken. They completely broken the bones in my hand and my leg and they laughed about it and played while they beat me. Two of the soldiers grabbed my hands and two others my feet and started waving me back and forth and throwing me onto the front of the military car, but I fell to the ground.”

But the sadistic fun continued. The soldiers strapped him to the front the vehicle and rode around for another 15 minutes in the different areas of camp before they let him go.

“It was scorching hot he says and my back was burning and I stayed there for 20 minites,” he was reported as saying from his hospital bed.

“He had an open fracture and last a part of his tissues, muscles and skin,~” said Bahaa Abu Hammad, an orthopaedic doctor.

“He was treated in A & E, the wounds were washed, antibiotics, given and X-rays were taken, it later became clear that there was a complicated fracture of the right femur and humerus. He underwent emergency surgery, during which, the fractures were stabilized externally and will require internal fixation at a later date.”

ICC: What’s Next For Netanyahu, Gallant?

June 24, 2024

Israel is preparing for potential arrest warrants by the International Criminal Court (ICC) against Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Yoav Gallant.

On Sunday, the Hague-based court reposted a notice in Hebrew, Arabic, and English explaining its procedures according to Anadolu.

“After gathering evidence and identifying a suspect, the prosecution requests ICC judges to issue: an arrest warrant, which national authorities enforce; or a summons to appear, where suspects appear voluntarily,” the notice reads.

On 20 May 2024 ICC chief Karim Khan requested arrest warrants for Netanyahu and Gallant.

Over six weeks later and we are still at request stage.

This marks the fourth time since the beginning of June that the ICC has shared this post on its social media accounts as reported by the Turkish news agency.

On May 20, ICC Prosecutor Karim Khan announced that he had requested arrest warrants for Netanyahu and Gallant on charges of crimes against humanity and war crimes in the Gaza Strip.

No official decision from the court has been made as of yet.

While Israel has condemned and rejected the prosecutor’s request, it remains unclear how Tel Aviv will respond if arrest warrants are issued.

“Discussions are underway in Israel regarding a defense strategy for Netanyahu, Gallant, and the state of Israel in case the ICC issues arrest warrants,” the Israeli public broadcaster KAN said.

“The preparations aim to ensure that Israel is ready if such a decision is made by the ICC judges,” it added.

KAN said it remains unclear whether Israel will present a legal defense at The Hague as Tel Aviv does not recognize the court’s authority.

“Israel prefers to prepare for the worst-case scenario, which includes potential arrest orders, and is thus discussing a possible defense stance against such a decision,” it added.

Israel is not a member of the ICC, whereas Palestine was accepted as a member in 2015.

The ICC, established in 2002, is an independent international body not affiliated with the United Nations or any other international institution, and its decisions are binding.

Despite Israel’s rejection of the ICC’s jurisdiction, the court’s authority extends to the Palestinian territories occupied since 1967, allowing it to prosecute Israeli officials accused of committing crimes in these areas, Anadolu concluded.

Israel-India: Comrade-in-arms Over Gaza

India has been supplying Israel with weapons ever since the latter started its war on Gaza since 7 October, 2023.

New Delhi has been supplying Israel with artillery shells, drones and other weapons on a regular basis. It supplied Israel the advanced Hermes 900 drones that have been towering over the skies of Gaza for the last nine months.

The Hermes 900 is a drone that can be used for surveillance and aerial bombardment and have already been in active deployment in the Gaza Strip.

India joins the USA, France, Britain, Germany and Canada as an Israeli constant military supplier to keep Israel’s devastating war on Gaza going and resulted in the killing of more than 37,000 people and injured 85,000 today combined with the mass bombings of the houses, schools, infrastructure, government buildings and more.

Traditionally it has been Israel that exported hardware military equipment to India, however, Tel Aviv’s war on Gaza has turned things around. Now, it is India that is the main exporter of arms to Israel.

It continued with the 27-ton explosives shipment that India tried to send to Israel through Spanish ports last May. But today this relationship continues as India has become crucial in providing Israel with ammunition through joint deals between Israeli and Indian defence contracting companies.

I can't quarrel with facts. Perhaps the original tweet was wrong. But there is enough evidence now to see India indeed supplies weapons to Israel https://t.co/skleEsPRP3 . Apram lodu na Enna da punda?

The military relationship underscores the close ties that developed between India and Israeli under Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Narendra Modi who become the first Indian Prime Minister to visit Israel and 2017.

Today India and Israel are regarded as key allies, underlined by the fact that the latter has become a huge destination for Indian tourists.

However, the ex-Israeli ambassador in New Delhi Daniel Carmon put the relation between the two countries in an overall context. He said India might be supplying weapons to Israel as a gesture of gratitude for Israel assistance during the Kargil war of 1999 as reported in the Quds News Network.

https://t.me/QudsNen/110997

“The Indians always remind us that Israel was there for them during the Kargil war. Israel was one of the few countries that stood by them and provided them with weapons. The Indians don’t forget this and might now be returning the favor,” Carmon stated.

The comments of the former diplmat came amid reports confirming India has supplied drones and artillery shells to Israel during its ongoing war on Gaza, which international bodies like the International Criminal Court and International Court of Justice have ruled as involving serious war crimes committed by Israel.

However despite the developing close relations India have always backed a two-state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict when India established a PLO office in the country in the 1970s.

Further, in 2108 Modi made it a point of visiting Ramallah as part of a regional visit to Jordan and the Arab Gulf countries and in an effort to balance India’s foreign policy in the Middle East.
