Announcement
This came during a speech delivered by Shtayyeh at the weekly government meeting in Ramallah, and he stressed that “what Israel is carrying out is a genocidal war, carried out by a criminal machine with a barbaric, colonialist mentality, that craves killing, takes pleasure in the torture of innocents and children, and bombs mosques and churches.”
He pointed out that the priority now is “stopping the war and aggression, bringing relief materials into Gaza, protecting civilians and stopping forced displacement, which is an international responsibility.”
He also warned of the consequences of a ground attack on the besieged Gaza Strip, saying: “What we hear from the leaders of the occupying state regarding preparations for a ground invasion means continuing to commit new crimes, atrocities, forced displacement, and killing for the sake of killing and revenge. We condemn positions that constitute a license to kill and a political cover to commit massacres.” And the destruction of Gaza and its people.”
He pointed out that Palestinian doctors are now performing surgeries without anesthesia due to the lack of medical supplies. He said that the Israeli army killed 1,800 children in Gaza, continuing, “The Palestinian people are the owners of a civilization, and we are the owners of the land, and our quest for freedom will not stop.”
For the 17th day in a row, Israel continues its intense raids on the Gaza Strip, bombing residential neighborhoods and hospitals, resulting in about 400 deaths during the past 24 hours, while Israeli Army Radio reported that Israel agreed to Washington’s request to postpone ground entry into Gaza until American forces arrive.
