Qatar slams Israel plan to displace Palestinians from Gaza

The Qatari Foreign Ministry has condemned in the “strongest terms” the Israeli cabinet’s plan to establish a government agency to relocate the residents of Gaza, as well as its decision to recognise 13 new illegal settlements in the occupied West Bank.

“Qatar stresses that any form of Palestinian displacement constitutes a blatant violation of international humanitarian law,” the ministry said in a statement. It called for “strong international solidarity to hold the occupation accountable for complying with the will for peace and to immediately end the brutal war on the Gaza Strip”.

Egypt, Jordan and Saudi Arabia, too, have condemned the Israeli plan.

A spokesperson for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Monday said that the new agency will be tasked with “preparing the voluntary departure of residents of the Gaza Strip to third countries in a safe and controlled manner”.

Palestinians have rejected any attempt to displace them from their homeland while rights groups say such moves amount to ethnic cleansing – a war crime.


American actor condemns Israel’s genocide in Gaza

Hannah Einbinder has expressed horror at the “Israeli government’s massacre of well over 65,000 Palestinians in Gaza” as she accepted an award for expanding LGBTQI representation in Los Angeles.

“I am ashamed and infuriated that this mass murder is funded by our American tax dollars,” Einbinder said in her acceptance speech on Saturday.

“I know that my condemnation of Israel’s bombardment of Gaza is not despite what I learned in Hebrew school, but because of it,” Einbinder added. “Donald Trump and the Israeli government have suggested that displaced Palestinians be taken by other countries, we Jews know all too well the pain of having to leave our homelands or face certain death.”


‘Break the siege, stop the killings, end the starvation’: Hamas

The Palestinian group in Gaza has just issued a statement denouncing the ongoing “horrific massacres” while calling on the international community to rein in Israel. Here is a summary:

  • Hamas denounced “the Zionist occupation’s brutal aggression and horrific massacres against our people in Gaza and aggressive schemes across the occupied West Bank”.
  • We call on the masses of our Arab and Islamic nations, the free people of the world, and all those who stand for justice and freedom to escalate pressure on the occupation to stop its attacks.
  • We call on the masses to reject the occupation’s crimes and plans against our land, people, and holy sites, and to condemn the US support for these atrocities.
  • Every means possible must be used to break the siege, stop the killings, and end the starvation.
  • All efforts and energy should be directed towards supporting Gaza, healing its wounds and strengthening its resilience.
  • We call on the world leaders to take their historic responsibility at this crucial moment as the Zionist enemy is committing the most heinous crimes. They must take decisive action to halt this war.
