Netanyahu defends the takeover of Gaza City - UN warns of catastrophe
The Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has his planned military assault Gaza defended in the middle of growing international conviction and outrage. UN officials warn that this step towards "another catastrophe" in which crisis-shaped, starving areas could lead.
Netanyahus Defense of the military action
In a rare press conference with international media, Netanyahu explained that the controversial operation to take over the once largest city of Gazas is the fastest way to end the war, despite massive internal and international opposition. "In contrast to false claims, this is the best way to end the war and quickly," says Netanyahu. "This is how we bring the war to an end."
international reactions to the military plans
In the early morning hours of Friday, Israel security cabinet approved plans for taking the city of Gaza, with the aim of destroying Hamas and freeing the hostages that are recorded in the area. However, these measures aroused fears that further battles aroused the on the UN stage, Israel met with criticism on Sunday, including from Great Britain, Russia, China and France, which strongly protested military plans for Gaza, which were described as "further violation of international law". Miroslav Jenča, the deputy UN Secretary-General for Europe, Central Asia and the America, warned that the implementation of these plans would most likely trigger another catastrophe in Gaza that could affect the entire region. Ramesh Rajasingham, the head of the UN office for the coordination of humanitarian matters (OCHA) in Geneva, explained that the situation in Gaza "is no longer a impending hunger crisis-this is clear hunger". Hunger deaths rise in the area, especially in children with severe malnutrition. Since October 2023, 98 children have died of severe acute malnutrition, 37 since July 1
"To be honest, we lost the words to describe the humanitarian conditions," said Rajasingham, "which are cruel beyond."
The extended military operation of Israel is "no way to the solution, but a way to more bloodshed". Russia condemned the plan to put Gaza under the control of its security forces, as "dangerous steps", which undermout the already fragile views of a peaceful inspection of the conflict in the Middle East. Denmark, South Korea, Greece, Slovenia and Guyana also joined the choir of rejection and asked Israel to rethink his decision. The USA, which feels increasingly isolated in their support for the Israeli promotions in Gaza, said they "tirelessly" worked on freeing the hostages and ending the war. The US ambassador at the UN, Dorothy Shea, accused the members of the Security Council to "actively extend the war" and "to achieve the war" and "propaganda victory for terrorists". "The simple truth is that this war could end today when Hamas releases hostages and all of Gaza," says Shea. In Israel itself, the families of the Israeli hostages caught there call up a nationwide general strike next Sunday. Netanyahus plan brings Israel closer to a complete line -up of Gaza, which has not been done for almost 20 years. The Israeli military has already checked about 75 % Gazas after almost two years of war. Analysts argue that the plan initiated by Netanyahu himself says more about its domestic maneuvers than about a well -thought -out military strategy. The plan gives Netanyahu time to fight his political survival. Netanyahu described Gaza City and the central camps in the besieged area as the “two remaining bastions” by Hamas. "In view of Hamas' refusal to put down the weapons, Israel has no choice but to end the job and to complete the defeat of Hamas," he said. Hamas said on Sunday that the only way to secure the “survival” of the Israeli hostages was to stop the military operations in Gaza and to achieve a peace treaty. "Netanyahu continues to manipulate the question of (Israeli hostages) as an excuse to continue aggression and to deceive public opinion," it said in a explanation of the group. netanyahu continues to contest the existence of a hunger crisis in Gaza, despite the opposite reports of international organizations, including the United Nations. Unicef published on social media that the number of acute malnutrition cases among children in Gaza was "shocking". In July alone, almost 12,000 children were identified as acute malnourished, which is the highest monthly number ever documented. Netanyahu blamed Hamas for the food shortage and accused the group of ripening from offers of help. When asked about the statements of US President Donald Trump, who spoke of a "real famine" in Gaza two weeks ago, the Israeli leader evoked the question, even though he appreciated Trump's support. Netanyahu and Trump discussed Israel's plans for the war in Gaza on Sunday, as can be seen from a brief notification of the office of the Israeli Prime Minister. "The two discussed Israel's plans to take over the remaining Hamas bastions in Gaza in order to end the war with the release of the hostages and the defeat of Hamas," said the message.
