Gaza Occupation
Israel kills dozens of Palestinians every day in Gaza and is currently preparing to expand operations by conquering Gaza City, home to hundreds of thousands of people, and reoccupy the entire enclave.
Egypt’s remarks, conveyed by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, come after the Israeli military announced on Wednesday starting its globally-condemned operation aimed at taking over northern Gaza’s Gaza City and imposing security control over the entire enclave.
Hamas stated that the so-called Gideon’s Chariots II operation “will fail, just as previous military operations have failed.”
Israeli army spokesperson Effie Defrin stated that Israeli forces have initiated what he described as the “first stages of the attack” on Gaza City and are now holding the outskirts of the city.
Hamas condemned Israel’s intentions to move forward with a plan for occupying Gaza City and displace scores of people stationed there, describing the move as “a major war crime.”
Germany announced a suspension of all arms exports to Israel that could be used in military operations in Gaza until further notice.
