Israeli minister says ‘Gaza will be entirely destroyed’ • FRANCE 24 English

Since the fragile ceasefire collapsed mid-March, Palestinians have been subjected to near daily air strikes. Hospitals like this one in Jabalia continue to receive an influx of wounded and killed. Now the Israeli army is going to intensify its offensive and plans to conquer the Gaza Strip. Gaza’s population will be moved for its own protection. earlier. The announcement made by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Monday has rippled throughout the international community. France’s foreign minister called the new military campaign unacceptable. The Israeli government is in clear breach of international law and international humanitarian law. While the UN has urged utmost restraint, this will inevitably lead to countless more civilians killed and the further destruction of Gaza. But the United States still stands staunchly behind its ally. And President Donald Trump says his office is ready to help. People are starving and we’re going to help them get some food. Hamas is making it impossible because they’re taking everything that’s brought in. But we’re going to help the people of Gaza. As part of the escalation, Israel’s security cabinet also unanimously approved plans to put the army in charge of food and other goods in the enclave. However, for more than two months, they have barred any supplies from entering, and rights groups have decrieded the humanitarian crisis that has pushed thousands of children to the brink of death from starvation. While Hamas, for its part, has said it will not be continuing ceasefire negotiations as long as Israel’s quote hunger war continues in the Gaza Strip. In Jerusalem, too, there is discontent. More than 70% of Israelis say they do not trust the current government and hundreds protested outside the Knesset on Monday night. Some argue that the war is continuing so that Netanyahu can keep his job.

Israel’s Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich said on Tuesday a victory for Israel in Gaza means that the Palestinian territory will be “entirely destroyed” before its inhabitants depart for other countries. This comes as Israel announced a plan to seize the Gaza Strip and expand the military operation, sparking alarm accross the world. Palestinians are exhausted and hopeless, pummeled by 19 months of heavy bombing. Story by Eliza Herbert.

  11. Its all Hamas doing.. hope the people now realise wht its like to support a terror organisation and make it ur governing body.. wht surprises me is tht still they r not surrendering.. they hav decided to fight till the last hamas survivor..

  12. Israeli leaders are exactly like khanas leadees. Remember the Israelis voted for them multiple times while khamas was only voted for once.

  13. Jews kolled their own propheds and jesus. St.Poul..The Letters of Paul to the Thessalonians are two New Testament letters written by the Apostle Paul from Corinth, Achaea (in present-day southern Greece) in about AD 50, addressed to the Christian community she had established in Thessalonica (in present-day northern Greece).

  14. Hypocriticals have you forgotten? The Jews killed their own prophet and Jesus, wrote St. Paul in his letters to the Thessalonians….Paul's Letters to the Thessalonians are two New Testament letters written by the Apostle Paul to the Christian community he founded in Thessalonica (today's northern Greece) from Corinth, Achaia (today's southern Greece) around 50 AD. Dont forget Jesus is watching you!!Killers is killers..

  16. It was planned by US and West
    They want wars to be stopped at other countries
    Here they want to capture 😢
    Middle East countries they r puppets

  17. I feel that Palestine should give up on Gaza. What is the need of fighting and dying for a piece of land when you can go elsewhere. It's not and easy decision. We came into this world naked and we will go naked

  26. Macron just welcomed the terrorist leader of Syria while the Druze are being massacred. France, shut up and stay out of the Middle East.

  30. It's bizarre how Hamas can smuggle in weapons, missiles etc but Not Food, Medicines Water etc
    They want their people to be killed, it goes to their death cult where they pay for dead people and get more fake support from people who invest in their death cult!

  32. The madman benj logic is amazing, the blockade of humanitarian relief would also affect the hostages nutrition
    But it never was about hostages only stake money
    回

  40. Israel plans big in d global politics. Israel create Druze, Baluchistan and Sindh countries. It will put army bases in Kurdistan. It's plans are big n great.
