US-Israeli genocide in Gaza

Israel’s genocidal war on the Gaza Strip continues unabated as more people fall victim to the regime's onslaught on the besieged Palestinian territory. The Israeli army has pummeled various areas across the Gaza Strip. More than three dozen people were killed after strikes hit the al-Maghazi and Nuseirat refugee camps. In the Jabalia refugee camp, 23 bodies were recovered from the rubble. The regime’s attacks near a clinic in Gaza City also claimed 15 lives. The city of Deir al-Balah in central Gaza Strip also witnessed another bloody day in the wake of an Israeli strike.

Gaza 'catastrophic' situation

The scale of devastation wreaked on Germany by the Allied bombing in the Second World War has gone down in history. Well, now, the EU foreign policy chief says the destruction caused by the Israeli onslaught on Gaza is even worse than the demolition of German cities and towns. Borrell was speaking at a news conference after an EU foreign ministers' meeting in Brussels. He said the situation of civilians in Gaza is catastrophic and apocalyptic. Borrell said Israel’s onslaught has resulted in an incredible number of civilian casualties. The EU senior official noted that the human suffering in Gaza constitutes an unprecedented challenge to the international community. He also slammed settler violence and expansion of Israeli settlements in the occupied West Bank.

Israeli onslaught on Gaza

The Iranian foreign minister has warned that the region could explode at any moment if the US-Israeli genocide continues in the Gaza Strip. In a phone call with his Chinese counterpart, Hossein Amir-Abdollahian said the war has already spread in the region but Americans do not fully grasp the threat of further escalation. He said the survival of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu depends on the continuation of war and genocide. Wang Yi, for his part, expressed hope that the future meeting of the UN General Assembly would lead to a ceasefire. Amir-Abdollahian was also on the phone with his Russian counterpart. Iran’s top diplomat expressed regret over the US veto of the latest UN Security Council ceasefire resolution. He said Washington is authorizing the continuation of genocide in Gaza.
