Israel showing they can be just as barbaric as Hamas.
Recent escalations make it even more important to support good-faith efforts to find lasting peace between Israel and a fully independent, viable and sovereign Palestinian state," AntĆ³nio Guterres, the UN secretary general, told the council.
āFailure to make progress towards a two-state solution will only increase volatility and risk for hundreds of millions of people across the region, who will continue to live under the constant threat of violence,ā he said.
Guterres also said that Israelās commitment to improving aid access to the Gaza Strip has had limited or no impact .
āApparent progress in one area is often cancelled out by delays and restrictions elsewhere,ā the secretary general said.
āFor example, although the Israeli authorities have cleared more aid convoys, those clearances are often granted when it is too late in the day to make deliveries and return safely ,ā he explained. "So the impact is limited, and sometimes nil .
More than any other countries, the U.S. and U.K. have wrecked the Middle East through their non-stop meddling and imperial arrogance. This week they had the chance to make some amends.
A total of 139 countries already recognize the State of Palestine, more than two-thirds of the U.N. member states. Several European states will soon join the list. Yet the U.S. has so far blocked Palestineās membership in the U.N., with the U.K. always sticking close to the U.S. lead. Both have relentlessly backed Israelās apartheid rule over Palestine and are currently actively backing [Israel] in its horrific destruction of [Gaza]
Earlier, the Axios news site said the US would target Israelās Netzah Yehuda battalion over alleged human rights violations in the occupied West Bank.
All the alleged violations took place before the 7 October Hamas attack on Israel from the Gaza Strip.
How interesting is that!
āIn the hospital courtyard, civil defence members and paramedics have retrieved 180 bodies buried in this mass grave by the Israeli military. The bodies include elderly women, children and young men,ā Al Jazeeraās Hani Mahmoud reporting from Khan Younis said on Sunday.
Earlier this week, a mass grave was discovered at al-Shifa Hospital following a two-week siege. It was one of several mass graves found at al-Shifa ā the largest medical facility in the coastal enclave.
Israelās war on Gaza has killed more than 34,000 Palestinians, according to local health officials, devastated Gazaās two largest cities and left a swath of destruction across the territory.
This story was told before.
Families in the Gaza Strip have resorted to creating random mass graves in residential neighbourhoods, courtyards, roads, wedding halls, and stadiums. More than 120 of these mass graves have been established so far.

Because it expresses a collective national identity, Palestinian culture has always posed a threat to Israelās colonial project, which depends upon the idea that no such thing exists, that the land was previously empty, that no one was really there
So Israel can kill whoever it likes ,the USA government will support it.
US official: Rafah strikes do not ārepresent a major military operationā
A US official said the US is āconcernedā about Israelās latest strikes on Rafah, but ādoes not believe they represent a major military operation,ā according to a report from Reuters.
US officials are focused on prevent major military operations targeting ādensely populatedā areas of Rafah, the source added, and that it ādoes not appear the Israelis are doing thatā.
More sophistry from the USA
Excuse the strong language, but perfectly demonstrates whatās been happening:
"It means a family, probably displaced anywhere inside entire Gaza, will not have access to the food they need. They will not have access to clean water.
"So it doesnāt only affect the people in Rafah, in the south, but the entire strip is currently kind of choked off from aid.
āItās a life-threatening situation that has become very, very acute.ā
Sorry Jens,no one is listening!They are only Palestinians.
Didnāt know who he was until recently, but good on him to use his platform to speak out! (And shame on all those ācelebritiesā who havenāt!)
