The second day of Israel’s military operation in the occupied West Bank resulted in 18 Palestinian deaths as of early Wednesday evening. Tel Aviv tightens its siege on the territory’s inhabitants, which is also felt at checkpoints, where a Palestinian woman died of a heart attack.
The Israeli Government says that the attacks on Jenin serve to prevent the development of terrorist activities, but the Palestinian Governor of the region says that the attacks are yet another Israeli invasion. In the Gaza Strip, the first trucks with humanitarian aid began to arrive, not without several collisions, with hundreds of people running after the vehicles, looking for food and other essential goods.
This Wednesday, the Secretary-General of the United Nations also expressed concern about the situation in Gaza. António Guterres also said he feared that Israel intended to annex the West Bank. Hours before. Steven Witkoff, named by Donald Trump as special envoy for the Middle East, said Israel “has a biblical right to occupy the West Bank.”
