Israel escalates attacks on Gaza as Netanyahu suspends elections | Benjamin Netanyahu News

Seven months after a “ceasefire” to end Israel’s genocide in Gaza, the deal has turned into a deadly cover. continued Israeli military operations in the enclave.

Israeli forces have killed at least 880 Palestinians since then, bringing the total toll to 72,797, according to Gaza’s health ministry.

With Israeli elections expected in September, experts and civil rights officials have warned that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is the winner. on purpose stop the peaceful way to to please their right-wing allies and voters.

Mai El-Sheikh, spokeswoman for the United Nations Human Rights Office in Palestine, told Al Jazeera that Israel has switched to “cease fire” as its defense. ongoing war crimes.

He warned that a humanitarian disaster is being deliberately created by Israel through food and medicine restrictions to spread fear among displaced families.

Systematic demolition and migration

This ongoing violence has been accompanied by Israel’s resettlement, systematic destruction that has forced Palestinians to live in ever-shrinking areas in the besieged Palestinian territory.

The Gaza Rights Center recorded 12 cases in May where the Israeli army ordered a forced evacuation by phone before destroying the shelters in the central camps of Nuseirat, Bureij and Maghazi. This is related to the extensive destruction of the land in the east of Deir el-Balah which is still under the control of the Israeli army.

The rights watchdog warned that the operations do not have any military purpose, and that their targeting of the destroyed homes in 35 percent of Gaza is not directly aimed at destabilizing the entire area.

With nearly 90 percent of Gaza’s homes destroyed during the ongoing offensive, rights groups say the phone alerts — which often, but not always, give people time to flee their homes — do not override their legal mandate. Instead, this strategy serves as a tool of intimidation to maintain the order to evacuate 2.3 million Gazans.

‘A political excuse’

The figures of the Israeli leadership that are driving the massacre in Gaza are very difficult. Mohannad Mustafa, an expert on Israeli affairs, said that Netanyahu is in deep and political trouble because of his failure to achieve his goals in the Gaza war – to destroy Hamas.

The prime minister also faces domestic protests involving two other Israeli states, with Hezbollah carrying out daily attacks in southern Lebanon and the Iranian government still in power.

“He is preventing the entry of humanitarian aid, reconstruction projects, and the deployment of the monitoring committee because his main goal remains the entire Gaza Strip,” Mustafa said.

Eyad al-Qarra, a Palestinian political analyst based in Khan Younis, said that Israel has used the disarmament of Palestinian groups, including Hamas, as an excuse to evade the “ceasing war”.

Even if all the weapons the groups were given were handed over, al-Qarra says Israel will find other reasons to continue killing people in Gaza.

Despite the failure to implement the cease-fire agreement, Gazans still fear that its collapse could lead to an Israeli attack.

Meanwhile, an international initiative designed to promote a ceasefire has fallen apart.

The Peace Board, which is the US-led international organization that oversees the Gaza administration, has struggled to establish a policy to end the conflict due to a lack of consensus among its members.

Kenneth Katzman, a researcher from the US, said that the involvement of the US President Donald Trump with Iran has given the lack of international cooperation that Israel is using in Gaza.
