Israel's 'Total Victory' Pledge Sparks Global Alarm as Gaza Death Toll Hits 300
Israel news: Israel's handling of the Gaza conflict has sparked international concern. Recent remarks by Israeli officials and religious figures have escalated tensions, with calls for violence against Palestinians. The death toll continues to rise, with nearly 300 Palestinians killed since June 1, adding to the over 55,000 already lost. The Israeli government insists on a 'total victory', but the conflict persists after 20 months.
The Israeli police have decided not to charge Rabbi Eliyahu Mali for incitement, despite his call to kill every living person in Gaza, including children and the elderly. Meanwhile, former Defence Minister Yoav Gallant has made dehumanising statements, referring to ordinary Palestinian civilians as 'human beasts'.
Several government ministers have openly advocated for the destruction of Palestinians in Gaza, either in whole or in part. MK Nissim Vaturi from Netanyahu's Likud party went as far as calling for the execution of every man and child in Gaza, deeming them all terrorists. Israeli soldiers have been ordered to shoot first and ask questions later, leading to the deaths of Israeli hostages waving white flags.
Israel's refusal to acknowledge Palestinian rights and humanity fuels a narrative where Jewish safety is predicated on Palestinian dehumanisation and death. The Convention on Genocide defines the indiscriminate killing of tens of thousands of Palestinian men, women, and children as genocide, regardless of their innocence. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has publicly supported plans for military control over the entire Gaza Strip, including the takeover of Gaza City, implying harsh military measures against Palestinians.
The escalating rhetoric and actions from Israeli officials and religious figures have exacerbated the conflict in Gaza. With nearly 300 Palestinians killed since June 1 and over 55,000 already lost, the international community is urged to intervene. The Israeli government's insistence on a 'total victory' and plans for military control over Gaza raise serious concerns about the future of the Palestinian people.
