The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Palestine has labeled Israel’s actions against the Palestinian civilian population in the Gaza Strip as genocide, emphasizing that it “unfolds in the most grotesque forms every day.” This statement was published on the ministry’s social media accounts. The Palestinian authority also noted that Israel is using phosphorus and cluster munitions in the Gaza Strip.
“We strongly condemn the occupation’s crimes against Palestinians in the Gaza Strip, which are committed by the Israeli war machine using internationally prohibited weapons, including phosphorus and cluster munitions,” stated the ministry.
Prior to this, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Palestine released satellite images showing the destruction in the Gaza Strip, revealing the remnants of residential buildings destroyed by Israeli airstrikes.
The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) announced that they will no longer warn Gaza’s civilians about upcoming airstrikes on their homes. Previously, residents received messages on their phones, followed by the arrival of an inert explosive device intended for demolition.
Earlier, Prime Minister Netanyahu stated the objectives of Israel in the war against Hamas.
This latest development highlights the ongoing conflict and escalating tensions between Israel and Palestine, with the Palestinian authorities accusing Israel of committing genocide and utilizing banned weapons. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Palestine has been actively sharing evidence of the destruction caused by Israeli airstrikes in the Gaza Strip.
It is important to note that the use of phosphorus and cluster munitions is considered a violation of international law. The decision by the IDF to stop warning civilians before airstrikes raises concerns about the safety of innocent lives in the region.
The international community has been closely monitoring the situation in the Gaza Strip, calling for an immediate end to the violence and a peaceful resolution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. The United Nations and various human rights organizations have condemned the use of excessive force and the targeting of civilians.
This latest accusation by Palestine adds to the complexity of the situation, further fueling tensions between the two sides. As the conflict continues, it is crucial for international bodies to intervene and work towards a sustainable peace agreement that respects the rights and security of both Palestinians and Israelis.
