Israel war on Gaza: Day 32

Israel continues its war of genocide in the Gaza Strip as the death toll mounts from the regime’s onslaught, which began on October 7. The Israeli bombardment of the besieged Palestinian territory has claimed the lives of more than 10,000 people, most of them are women and children. Israel targeted a building at the al-Shifa Hospital Complex during its latest airstrikes. According to the Health Ministry in Gaza, 170 patients and hundreds of displaced Palestinians were inside the hospital building. A children's hospital in Gaza was also hit by Israeli shelling.

Reversing Israel normalization

Bahrain’s National Assembly is pressing to reverse the normalization of relations between the Persian Gulf kingdom and Israel. That’s according to the deputy speaker of Bahrain’s legislative body. In an interview, Abdul Nabi Salman said the demands of the Bahraini lawmakers are a reflection of the aspirations of their people. He said the most important public demand is severing all ties with Israel and canceling the Abraham Accords. Ultimately, any decision on Bahraini-Israeli ties is taken by the Bahraini king and his government. Bahrain recalled its ambassador to Israel last week amid the regime’s atrocities in Gaza. Flights between Bahrain and Israel were also suspended. Bahrain was one of the few Arab nations that signed the unpopular US-backed normalization agreements with Israel in 2020.

US military support for Israel

The United States has been fully supporting Israel during its war on Gaza and now the administration of President Joe Biden is reportedly planning a 320-million-dollar transfer of precision bombs to Israel. According to The Wall Street Journal, the White House has sent a formal notification to congressional leaders for the planned delivery of the so-called Spice Family Gliding Bomb Assemblies. The bombs are a type of precision-guided weapon fired by warplanes. This comes amid growing concerns across the globe about the high number of civilian casualties caused by Israel’s war on Gaza. The American administration’s unconditional support for Israel’s war has also drawn criticism within the US establishment. According to the US news outlet Politico, State Department officials have demanded that Washington publicly criticize Israel’s violations of international norms over its war on Gaza and its support for settler violence in the occupied West Bank.
