Annexation of the northern Gaza Strip and American responsibility

The Israeli occupation forces' comprehensive siege of the northern Gaza Strip, isolating it from the rest of the Palestinian territories in the Strip, and carrying out relentless military operations to force hundreds of thousands to evacuate their homes and deport them from their land, burning the displaced in their tents, and destroying what remains of the homes in the Jabalia camp, are war crimes punishable by international law. They represent a challenge and provocation to the countries of the world and the United Nations, and a violation of international and humanitarian law.

Attempts to destroy UNRWA and end its work are an integral part of the plan to annex the northern Gaza Strip, and dismantling UNRWA has become a goal of the war. The occupation Knesset is working to legislate and issue laws to dismantle UNRWA so that they can displace the remaining population due to military pressure and starve those who remain to force them to leave their lands and homes and depart within the details of a new catastrophe, which the occupation government is renewing with all arrogance and haughtiness and relying on the American position so that the majority of the population of the Gaza Strip is crowded into an area that does not exceed 10% of the entire area of the Strip, and about 400 thousand people are stuck in the northern Gaza Strip and face Israeli targeting within the war of extermination committed by the occupation army.

The US administration bears responsibility for the ongoing war of extermination waged by the Israeli occupation against our people in the Gaza Strip and the West Bank, including Jerusalem, the latest of which is the occupation forces’ complete siege of the northern Gaza Strip and its isolation, in addition to the ongoing aggression for days on Jabalia and the rest of the Palestinian cities, villages and camps.

The continued support of the American administration, politically, financially and militarily, for the occupation, has made it continue its aggression against the Palestinian people. Rather, it has become a partner of the occupation in its war and the crimes of genocide committed by the occupying state, and in doing so, it defies all resolutions of international legitimacy and international law, relying on biased American support that stands in the way of the international community and prevents holding the occupation accountable for its crimes.

What is required of the American administration is to force the Israeli occupation, its strategic ally, to stop its aggression, comply with international legitimacy decisions and the decisions of international courts, and not give it support to continue its brutal crimes, which have ignited the region and are leading it to a comprehensive explosion whose consequences no one will be able to bear.

The occupation government continues its aggression and its plan to eliminate UNRWA in order to liquidate the refugee issue, in light of the real absence of the UN Security Council due to the American policy supporting the occupation and its policies, which bears responsibility for its insistence on challenging the international will that agrees on the necessity of stopping the aggression and preventing the occupation from being held accountable for its crimes and aggression, which have violated all the prohibitions of international law, and even provides this criminal occupation with all kinds of financial and military support, which has encouraged it to commit these heinous crimes against our people and the peoples of the region.

The occupation's plans to separate the northern Gaza Strip from the rest of the occupied Palestinian State are rejected and condemned. These rejected policies will not bring security and stability, and the only solution to the region's problems is to end the Israeli occupation and establish a Palestinian state in accordance with Palestinian, Arab and international legitimacy. In these difficult circumstances, everyone must stand under the umbrella of the Palestine Liberation Organization and its national policies, in order to preserve the national project, Jerusalem and the holy sites, and work to embody the independence of the State of Palestine on the 1967 borders with East Jerusalem as its capital. Without this, the region will face ongoing wars, instability and unending destruction.
