The Secretary -General of the United Nations has called on Thursday not to continue the military operation to occupy its city, expressing concern that it would lead to a further deterioration of humanitarian disaster.
“The civilians in Gaza are faced with yet another deadly escalation,” Mr Guterres said via X. “Israel’s announcement that it intends to understand the city of Gaza marks a new and dangerous phase.”
“Hundreds of thousands of civilians would be forced to flee once again, families would sink into even greater danger. This has to stop. There is no military solution. “
Organic Order to Occupation of Gaza
The Israeli prime minister ordered his army to occupy the city of Gaza, where it is estimated that some 1 million people live. Yesterday Wednesday, a spokesman for the Israeli army spoke of preparations in view of the hurried removal of residents.
Israeli Ministry – Israel to annex the Gaza Strip
At the same time, far -right Israeli Finance Minister Bezalel Smotric asked the government yesterday to proceed with the annexation of the Gaza Strip, if Hamas continues to refuse to deposit the weapons and release the hostages of the 7th.
At a press conference in Jerusalem, Smotric presented his plan entitled “To Win in Gaza before the end of the year”. He suggested that he be sent to Hamas to deposit the weapons and release the hostages. If the organization refuses, it suggests that a portion of the lane be annexed each week, for four weeks, until the entire area is under control.
According to Smotric, the Palestinians should initially move to the southern part of the enclave, while Israeli forces will besiege the central and northern part to eliminate Hamas’ remaining fighters, then proceeding to the annexation. He estimated that this process could be completed within three to four months and called on Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to “immediately adopt the plan as a whole”.
Guterres: sown carcasses the gauze
Even yesterday, Mr Guterres stressed that “death and destruction levels” in the Gaza Strip “there are no comparisons in recent history. Gaza is full of debris, sown corpses, examples of those that can be serious violations of international law. “
“We need immediate and permanent ceasefire,” he repeated once again. “Homer must be released immediately and the horrific treatment that were forced to endure must stop,” he added.
Israel, the UN chief continued, has “clear obligations” in the Palestinian enclave, in particular to guarantee that civilians will have “food, water, medicines and other essentials”, to “agree and facilitate much more humanitarian access” and “protect them”.
Increasing humanitarian crisis in Gaza
The Israeli army continues its operations to control the city of Gaza, the largest urban center in the northern enclave. The United Nations estimates that more than two million Palestinians have been displaced at least once due to battles and bombings since the start of the war in October 2023.
Yesterday, hundreds of city residents moved to the south, according to a photojournalist of the French agency in the Nussirati area.
