“The policies applied to Gaza, as well as developments in the West Bank, indicate a project of colonization of Palestine through occupation.” Dr. Javid Abdelmoneim, international president of Doctors Without Borders, shines a light on the “Israeli genocide in Gaza” and the “ethnic cleansing in Palestine” and denounces the ongoing complicity of world leaders who allow Israel to continue its genocidal campaign. Abdelmoneim, who worked as an emergency doctor in the Strip in 2024, highlights the violence suffered by Palestinians and the pressure that the advance of the Israeli line exerts on the 2 million inhabitants now living in a third of the territory, in a state of extreme overcrowding, with dramatic sanitary conditions, exposed to respiratory infections, skin diseases, and epidemics. But the situation in the West Bank is also desperate. “The Israeli government, the army, and settlers supported by the state have accelerated the process of ethnic cleansing, land expropriation, territorial fragmentation, and economic strangulation, further eroding the presence and stability of the Palestinian people.” Just on Sunday, from the area of Yad Mordechai, in southern Israel, the “march of thousands” started, a demonstration organized by the Nachala settlers towards Gaza, but supported by 28 ministers and parliamentarians of the governing coalition, with the slogan “After 21 years we return home.” The IDF had declared the area a closed military zone to prevent attempts to enter the Strip, but some protesters reportedly bypassed or circumvented at least 4 checkpoints.

Meanwhile, the violence continues. According to the Wafa agency, which collected testimonies from healthcare workers, three Palestinians were killed yesterday by an Israeli attack southwest of the al-Mawasi area, in Khan Younis, while another Palestinian died from wounds sustained following an attack in Gaza City. The IDF, on the other hand, reported having eliminated over the weekend a terrorist from the Islamic Jihad and one from the Salah Sabhi Salah Qatrawi organization. Last night there were also casualties in the West Bank: as reported by Wafa, two men aged 26 and 53 were reportedly killed by gunfire during a settler attack east of Ramallah. And it is precisely the escalation of settler violence, according to the complaint by Save the Children, that is causing the displacement of more than a thousand Palestinian children “with serious consequences on their education, safety, and psychological well-being.”
