In Gaza, people are awaiting their fate. News circulating about the theft of 17 out of 119 humanitarian aid trucks by bandits, and the bombing of a group of frustrated protection teams by the occupation. Thirty of these trucks were allocated to the Gaza and North governorates.
It's unbelievable what's happening, with talk about the world being weak and unable to pressure the occupying state, which continues its genocidal campaign. The Israeli army is threatening to turn Khan Yunis into another version of Rafah, while the people of Gaza are preoccupied with their imminent death, awaiting death by bombing or starvation.
The claim that the world is incapable of stopping the genocide, the Arabs and America's disregard for the deaths of people, even though they alone can stop the war, Netanyahu's arrogance and belligerent statements about eliminating Hamas in the Gaza Strip, and the fact that Operation Gideon's Wagons has become a fait accompli and will continue for several months.
To say that Netanyahu wants to rehabilitate his image after October 7 is a complete lie, slander, and untrue. The Gideon vehicles were launched a week ago, and the Israeli army began carrying out killings, destruction, and devastation that have not ceased.
Netanyahu, based on the IDF's plan, said that one of the war's objectives, as defined in the operation plan, is renewable and focuses on "concentrating and transferring populations" to the south. This is the key point of Operation Gideon. Concentrating and transferring populations is defined as an objective of the operation, not a means to achieve other objectives.
The truth is that the Israeli army began forcing people to flee from the east of Gaza City, and evacuated the remaining people in the north of the Gaza Strip. These people were displaced and forced to reside in the heart of Gaza City and its west.
The occupying state claims that this is not a forced transfer of civilians to another area, but rather a temporary one until the fighting ends. This is a goal that must be achieved. If the operation succeeds in achieving its objectives, two million Palestinians will be gathered in the area south of the Morag axis, meaning in destroyed Rafah, less than a quarter of the Gaza Strip.
Forced displacement under deadly artillery bombardment and airstrikes, in preparation for the entry of ground forces, is simply a term for forced transfer. This widespread, planned displacement in the Gaza Strip constitutes not only a war crime, but a crime against humanity.
This has been a repetition of what's been happening for a year and a half. What will be done with the millions of Gazans who will be crowded into Rafah, between the Philadelphi and Morag roads? Netanyahu and his government openly say this is an attempt to "encourage migration," implementing Trump's idea of displacing Palestinians.
The statements and declarations issued by a number of European countries expressing their disapproval of the deportation and starvation of people in the Gaza Strip are reminiscent of the statements issued by them and by former US President Joe Biden that Rafah is a red line and that they will not allow its occupation. And where is Rafah now? Rafah has been reduced to ruins, and Israel intends to turn Khan Yunis, as well as the rest of the cities in the Strip, into another ruin.
After a year and a half, the world seems to have failed to hear that mass deportation, which constitutes a crime against humanity, cannot be carried out simply by loading people into trucks at gunpoint. International law is very clear: even applying pressure that would make people want to flee constitutes forced displacement.
Israel has extensive experience in displacing Palestinians and attempting to erase and destroy their history and memory, as happened during the first Nakba, when it forcibly expelled our grandfathers and fathers from their homes and confiscated their lands. It continues to perpetrate the same crimes in the West Bank, and its crimes and practices are evident in the entrenchment of a second Nakba that continues to unfold in the Gaza Strip.
Starvation, the destruction of homes by bombing and shelling, the destruction of infrastructure and the elimination of what remains of health, education, agriculture and sanitation facilities, food scarcity, and the elimination of everything that makes human life possible.
The world is agitating and demanding the entry of humanitarian aid. Israel is engaging in a massive deception campaign, promoting a plan to feed the people through specific points that degrade human dignity. The world has not taken any effective measures to impose sanctions on Israel. The reality is that the political, economic, social, and cultural pressures exerted by Europe on Russia during its occupation of Ukraine cannot be compared to the political, economic, social, and cultural pressures exerted by Europe on Russia during its occupation of Ukraine. For this reason, Europe has not acted to stop the killing and destruction being inflicted on Palestinians in the Gaza Strip.
In Gaza, people await their fate. They no longer have plans for survival or displacement. They can't even think about preserving what remains of their lives. They await death and deepening hunger. What awaits the Arabs who cheered and danced to meet Trump, giving him precious gifts and trillions of dollars? The truth is that words elude us to describe our situation, the situation of the Arab regimes, our harsh experience with them, and their long-term betrayal.
