At least 400,000 people trapped
Jinha - Womens News Agency - Oct. 9 , 2024
<<At least 400,000 people trapped in northern Gaza
The Commissioner-General of the United Nations Relief and Works Agency
for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA), Philippe Lazzarini, has
warned that at least 400,000 people are trapped in northern Gaza.
News Center- At least 400,000 people are trapped in northern Gaza,
Philippe Lazzarini, the Commissioner-General of the United Nations
Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA),
has warned in a post on X. "Northern Gaza: no end to hell. At least
400,000 people are trapped in the area," his post on Wednesday said.
'No place anywhere in Gaza is safe'
"Recent evacuation orders from the Israeli Authorities are forcing
people to flee again and again, especially from Jabalia Camp. Many are
refusing because they know too well that no place anywhere in Gaza is
safe." According to the post, UNRWA shelters and services are being
forced to shut. "Some for the first time since the war began. With
almost no basic supplies available, hunger is spreading and deepening
again. This recent military operation also threatens the implementation
of the second phase of the polio vaccination campaign for children.
Children are as ever, the first and most to suffer. They deserve so much
better, they deserve a Ceasefire NOW, they deserve a future." >>

<<Is Biden administration seeking de-escalation - or driving Middle East
war?
As Washington calls for a regional ceasefire, it continues to provide
political and military support for Israel. Is the expanding war failed
diplomacy - or what the US really wants? Washington, DC - Holding an ice
cream cone, United States President Joe Biden declared in February that
a ceasefire in Gaza was so "close" that it might materialise within
days. More than seven months later, not only has Israel's war on Gaza
continued but it has expanded, with Israeli troops invading and bombing
Lebanon as tensions and violence boil over across the Middle East. The
Biden administration has continued to verbally call for de-escalation
while also providing Israel with political support and a steady supply
of bombs to sustain its wars.
Washington has welcomed nearly every escalatory step Israel has taken
this year: the killing of Hamas leaders in Beirut and Tehran, the
assassination of Hezbollah chief Hassan Nasrallah and the invasion of
south Lebanon. More than a year since the outbreak of war in Gaza,
Israel is pushing on with its devastating offensive in the besieged
Palestinian territory, which has killed nearly 42,000 people, while
bombing Beirut daily and preparing for an attack against Iran. As the
conflict in Gaza intensifies and spreads across the region, the gap
between US rhetoric and policy is widening. So, is the Biden
administration simply failing to rein in Israel - as many liberal
commentators have suggested? Or is it actually responsible for the
escalation, exploiting the chaos to advance a hawkish agenda against
Iran, Hamas and Hezbollah? The short answer: With its continuing
military and diplomatic support for Israel, the US remains a key driver
of the violence in the region despite its statements about restraint and
calls for a ceasefire, analysts say. While it is difficult to speculate
about the administration's motives or true intentions, there is a
growing body of evidence showing that the Biden administration is in
lockstep with Israel, not merely a passive ally which is being defied.
What has the US said and done so far?
After a months-long public push for a ceasefire in Gaza, the US has
shifted focus to supporting the Israeli offensive in Lebanon. US
Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin endorsed an Israeli ground campaign in
south Lebanon last week which risks becoming a full-scale invasion of
the country.
<I made it clear that the United States supports Israel's right to
defend itself,> Austin said in a statement on September 30 after a call
with his Israeli counterpart, Yoav Gallant. <We agreed on the necessity
of dismantling attack infrastructure along the border to ensure that
Lebanese Hezbollah cannot conduct October 7-style attacks on Israel’s
northern communities,> Austin said, referring to the attack by the
Palestinian group Hamas on southern Israel during which at least 1,139
people were killed. The Lebanese group had started attacking Israeli
military positions in October last year in what it said was an effort to
pressure the Israeli government to end its war on Gaza, which it
launched after the Hamas attack.
For months, the near-daily clashes were largely contained to the border
area. The violence pushed tens of thousands of people from both sides of
the border to flee. Hezbollah argued that the residents of Israel's
north can return only when the country ends its war on Gaza. After an
assassination campaign against Hezbollah's top military officials,
Israel launched an enormous bombing campaign across Lebanon, destroying
civilian homes across hundreds of villages and towns late on September
23. Since then, the Israeli violence has displaced more than 1 million
people in Lebanon. Before this Israeli escalation, the White House had
been saying for months that it was working towards a diplomatic solution
to the crisis at the Lebanon-Israel border. US envoy Amos Hochstein made
repeated visits to the region, ostensibly to warn against escalation.
With the low-level hostilities rapidly turning into an all-out war in
Lebanon, the Biden administration rallied Arab and European countries
and proposed on September 25 an "immediate" 21-day ceasefire to stop the
fighting. Yet, two days later, when Israel assassinated Nasrallah in a
huge bomb attack that levelled several residential buildings in Beirut
and effectively killed any prospect of an imminent ceasefire, the White
House lauded the attack as a <measure of justice>. Nasrallah's killing
was ordered by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu from US soil,
where he was attending the United Nations General Assembly in New York.
Osamah Khalil, a history professor at Syracuse University, questioned
the sincerity of Biden's diplomatic efforts, raising doubt over media
reports that Hochstein urged restraint from Israel. Khalil stressed that
the US had been a direct participant and backer of Israel's actions in
Gaza and the rest of the region, but that the Biden administration used
ceasefire talks as a "domestic politics" ploy to shield itself from
criticism at home. "All this was negotiations for the sake of
negotiations, particularly as the war became increasingly unpopular,"
Khalil told Al Jazeera last month.
'Reshape the Middle East'
Two recent US media reports appear to validate Khalil's assertion.
Politico reported on September 30, citing unidentified sources, that
senior US officials - including Hochstein and Brett McGurk, the National
Security Council coordinator for the Middle East - have privately backed
an Israeli military push against Hezbollah. "Behind the scenes,
Hochstein, McGurk and other top U.S. national security officials are
describing Israel's Lebanon operations as a history-defining moment -
one that will reshape the Middle East for the better for years to come,"
the US publication reported. Separately, Axios reported last week that
the US is trying to take advantage of the blows Israel has dealt on
Hezbollah by pushing for the election of a Lebanese president supported
by Washington. The Lebanese presidency has been vacant for nearly two
years, with the parliament unable to find a consensus to choose a new
leader. On Tuesday, US Department of State spokesperson Matthew Miller
described the war in Lebanon as an "opportunity" to change the country
politically. He said Washington wanted the Lebanese people to have "the
ability to elect a new president [and] the ability to break the
stalemate that Hezbollah has had over the country".
Hezbollah and its allies control dozens of seats in the Lebanese
parliament as a result of free elections in the country. Reshaping the
region has always been a goal for the US neoconservative movement, which
promotes support for Israel and elevating US-friendly governments
through hawkish foreign policy and military interventions. That approach
was most clearly visible under former US President George W Bush. In
fact, during the Bush tenure 18 years ago, when Israel had its last
major war with Hezbollah, then-Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice spoke
of the "birth pangs of a new Middle East". Khalil noted that many
neoconservatives of the Bush era are now affiliated with the Democratic
Party and backing Vice President Kamala Harris for the presidency in the
November election. Harris has welcomed the endorsement of former Vice
President Dick Cheney, one of the top architects of the so-called <war
on terror> and the 2003 US-led invasion of Iraq. As the chair of the
Senate Foreign Relations Committee, Biden himself backed the war in
Iraq. So did Secretary of State Antony Blinken, who served as a
Democratic staffer on the panel at that time. McGurk was an adviser in
the Bush White House and played a key role in the US occupation of Iraq,
while Hochstein previously served in the Israeli military.
"You have a neoconservative agenda inside the Democratic
administration," Khalil said.
Gaza failures
As the war rages in Lebanon and the world watches for a possible
escalation between Iran and Israel, many analysts say Biden's failure to
put an end to the war in Gaza is what has brought the region to this
point. Khalil Jahshan, the executive director of the Arab Center
Washington DC, also said the Biden administration's unconditional
support for the Netanyahu government is taking the entire region to "the
unknown". In the year since the Gaza war began, Jahshan told Al Jazeera
that the US has shown "total blind support" for not only Israeli
policies, but "for Israeli excesses", as well. "This is the result of a
one-sided policy that refused to accept any element of rationality from
the beginning of this conflict," he said.
Almost immediately after Hamas's October 7, 2023 attack on Israel, Biden
voiced uncompromising support for the US ally. He backed a <swift,
decisive and overwhelming> Israeli response against Hamas. The White
House also rushed to seek additional funds from Congress for military
aid to Israel to help finance the war. Washington resisted calls for a
ceasefire despite the growing humanitarian crisis for months, arguing
that Israel had a <right> to go after Hamas. Recent reporting by
ProPublica and the Reuters news agency showed that the Biden
administration received and ignored internal warnings about possible
Israeli war crimes in Gaza and pushed on with its arms transfers to
Israel. As domestic and international discontent grew after Israel razed
large parts of Gaza, displaced nearly all of the Palestinian territory’s
2.3 million inhabitants and brought them to the verge of famine, Biden
began to soften his tone. In recent months, the US adopted the term
"ceasefire" to call for a deal that would see an end to the fighting in
Gaza and the release of Israeli captives held by Palestinian groups in
the besieged enclave.
But it has done little to pressure Netanyahu to accept an agreement.
Whether Biden and his aides truly wanted a ceasefire and failed to
achieve it or they used the diplomatic push as a distraction from the
horrors of Israel's US-backed war, the result is the same - an expanding
war and tens of thousands of innocent people getting killed. <The
evidence suggests that it's politically advantageous for them to say
they support a ceasefire, but not do anything to actually secure it,>
said Ryan Costello, a policy director at the National Iranian American
Council (NIAC), a US-based group that promotes US diplomacy with Tehran.
Jahshan also said that the Biden administration did not offer fair
ceasefire proposals as it continued to arm Israel. "What's the value of
a ceasefire if those who are offering it continue to offer the tools of
war to one of the parties," he said. "That's not a ceasefire; that’s an
invitation to continue the fight."

<<Israeli strikes kill dozens in Gaza as grisly anniversary passes
'Devastating' scenes reported in northern and central Gaza as Israeli
army continues its bombardment of the enclave.
Dozens of Palestinians have been killed in Israeli strikes on northern
and central Gaza as the besieged territory marks the grisly anniversary
of the start of Israel's war. At least 56 Palestinians were killed
during strikes overnight on Monday and into Tuesday, the Health Ministry
in Gaza said, although the number of deaths reported by sources vary.
The casualties brought the overall death toll since the war was launched
following Hamas's attack on Israel on October 7 last year to 41,965. The
ministry added that 97,590 others have been injured. At least 30 people,
including six children and two women, were killed near the central city
of Deir el-Balah overnight, Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital reported, after
houses in the Bureij refugee camp were struck. Medical sources told Al
Jazeera that Israel's military had killed 43 Palestinians across the
enclave on Tuesday. The figure included seven people killed during an
attack on the Jabalia refugee camp in northern Gaza. The Israeli army
has placed Jabalia under siege for the last several days, in tandem with
stepping up its attacks on northern Gaza to a level not seen in months,
according to our team on the ground.
The Israeli army reported that it had killed at least 20 armed
Palestinian fighters in northern Gaza. It also reported continuing
fighting in central and southern Gaza. The information could not be
independently verified.
Systematic
Al Jazeera's Tareq Abu Azzoum, reporting from Deir el-Balah, called the
scenes at Al-Aqsa Hospital "devastating. Bodies were lined up on the
ground with family members expressing a great deal of grief and agony,"
he said. "Palestinians continued to live in the Bureij camp - despite
Israel ordering them to flee because it would be an 'active military
zone' - as they had nowhere else to go." Video obtained by Al Jazeera's
team on the ground in Gaza shows a group of displaced people in Jabalia,
coming under heavy gunfire by Israeli soldiers. The video shows the
group, which was in the process of evacuating Jabalia towards the
western part of Gaza City, running in terror. The video also shows many
wounded. One man was bleeding from the abdomen as people tried to help
him walk. Another, a little girl, is shown bleeding from the neck as she
is bandaged in the back of an ambulance. Although Israel has put a
significant focus on attacking Hezbollah in Lebanon, its military is
maintaining its efforts to fulfil the demands of its political masters
to wipe out Hamas - a task that most analysts suggest is unrealistic. Al
Jazeera's Abu Azzoum reported that the Israeli army is "systematically
working to empty northern Gaza".
