As genocide in Gaza intensifies, the unfolding humanitarian crisis paints a bleak picture of a region on the brink. Amidst the alleged use of prohibited weapons and international inaction, the health sector faces a dire disaster, while the Biden administration’s double standards and unequivocal support for Israel add another layer to the unfolding tragedy.
These days, Israel is responding to the significant and unprecedented defeat that they faced through the Palestinian groups by continually causing harm to the residents of the Gaza Strip. Israel is accused of carrying out genocide in Gaza, using prohibited weapons such as phosphorus bombs, and allegedly contemplating the use of “apocalyptic weapons.”
Likud Legislator’s Controversial Advocacy for “Apocalyptic Weapons” and Ongoing Gaza Crisis
In this context, Revital Tally Gotliv, a legal legislator from the Likud party, shared on the social network X (Twitter): “Jericho missile! Jericho rocket! Strategic warning. Apocalyptic weapon! This is my idea.” Jericho refers to Israel’s intercontinental ballistic missile capable of targeting anywhere globally.
It is widely acknowledged that Israel possesses 100 to 200 nuclear warheads, although the Israeli cabinet neither confirms nor denies this claim. Continuing his post about nuclear missiles, Gotliv called for the attack and destruction of Gaza, stating, “Only one explosion that shakes the Middle East can save Israel!” She advocated for the use of powerful missiles without limits and the destruction of Gaza without mercy.
The post was tagged by X with a “potential violation of rules” regarding violent speech but was not removed, apparently finding acceptance among some users. In other posts, Gotliv urged the Israeli cabinet to ruthlessly attack and destroy Gaza and praised US President Joe Biden for his strong stance against Hamas.
Even if Israel does not heed the words of this extremist figure, in the past five days, it has been accused of committing crimes comparable to the potential use of Jericho rockets, penetrating bombs, and nuclear weapons. Reports indicate that banned phosphorous bombs were allegedly used in Israel’s attacks in the northwest of Gaza, causing severe consequences and hindering rescue efforts in certain areas. Lebanon’s official organization also claimed that Israel deployed phosphorus bombs around the towns of Al-Amari and Al-Majidiyah on the Lebanon-Israel border.
According to news sources, Israel is said to have bombarded the Shebaa fields and Kafr Shuba heights in southern Lebanon with these prohibited weapons. The use of phosphorus bombs is internationally prohibited by the Geneva Convention of 1980, which bans the use of white phosphorus as an incendiary weapon against humans and the environment.
Genocide in Gaza & the Health Sector on the Verge of Collapse
The health sector in Gaza is on the brink of a major disaster, with Israel accused of practically launching a genocide in Gaza using prohibited weapons. The international community’s inaction exacerbates the dire situation as Israel intensifies its bombardment of homes, hospitals, and medical staff in the Gaza Strip, violating international laws and pushing the health sector to the edge of catastrophe. Hospitals and medical personnel, already in precarious conditions before the conflict, are repeatedly targeted, further worsening the impending crisis.
Impact on Medical Facilities
Beit Hanoun Hospital’s operations have been halted due to Israeli army attacks, and the Gaza International Ophthalmic Hospital is non-operational due to ongoing genocide in Gaza. The toll on hospital staff is devastating, with five rescuers killed and numerous others injured. Shortages in essential supplies are rampant, and the morgue is overwhelmed, unable to accommodate the rising number of casualties. The Palestinian Ministry of Health reports staggering figures, with 1,500 fatalities, including 500 children and 230 women, and 5,000 people injured due to Israeli attacks. Simultaneously, the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs notes a total displaced population exceeding 263,934, with expectations of further increases.
American Double Standards: Support for Israel Amidst Genocide in Gaza
International Response and Biden Administration’s Actions
As the people witness Genocide in Gaza, the Biden administration adopts a double standard, threatening other regional entities while providing comprehensive support to Israel in what is actually a genocidal campaign. President Biden’s symbolic gestures of support for Israelis translate into concrete actions, justifying cooperation in Genocide in Gaza. The support ranges from military and diplomatic aid to the dispatch of fleets and fighters. Recently, the Israeli army announced the arrival of the first plane carrying advanced American military aid and ammunition, capable of executing large-scale attacks and prepared for all scenarios, at the Nabatim military base.
US Military Assistance and Intelligence Support for Genocide in Gaza
President Biden’s commitment to Israel’s defense includes an increased supply of military equipment, ammunition, and reconnaissance aircraft to fortify the Iron Dome air defense system. Reports from the Sputnik news agency suggest that a US military official has ordered special operations forces to plan and provide intelligence assistance to Israel, further deepening American involvement in the Genocide in Gaza. The Biden administration’s actions have raised concerns about the role of the United States in the ongoing crisis in Gaza.
