Benjamin Netanyahu has said he has given orders to the Israeli army to seize control of 70% of the Gaza Strip in a move that threatens to torpedo an already fragile ceasefire and create catastrophic humanitarian conditions in the already devastated territory.

In recent days, Israeli-backed armed militias have taken a leading role in emptying the territory along the ceasefire line, telling residents to vacate their homes or shelters.

Throughout the eight months of the ceasefire, Israeli forces have continued to open fire on Palestinians within range of the “yellow line” splitting the strip, and carry out airstrikes deeper inside western Gaza, killing more than 900 Palestinians since the truce began.

    I am mad because you dumb cultists can’t condemn Trump normally like us without whitewashing Democrats. Both parties are fully supporting the terrorist state of Israel, giving them billions of dollars, providing unlimited diplomatic protection, refusing to force Israel to do a real ceasefire; your war criminal presidents are constantly bypassing Congress to give more money to Israel to continue their campaign of extermination. Stricly about Palestine and Gaza they are the same while in other issues democrats are better.
