Israeli airstrikes in Gaza have killed over 400 Palestinians, leading to international condemnation. Prime Minister Netanyahu declared a resumption of military operations, with Hamas denouncing ceasefire violations. Egypt’s institutions and others have urged the international community for accountability and action to halt hostilities.
On Tuesday, Israeli airstrikes resulted in the deaths of at least 400 Palestinians, primarily women and children, across Gaza. This escalation followed a statement from Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s office, indicating a resumption of military operations against Hamas.
The statement from Netanyahu’s office highlighted that both Prime Minister Netanyahu and Defense Minister Israel Katz authorized the military actions in Gaza. Furthermore, the White House confirmed that Israel consulted the Trump administration before the airstrikes, as affirmed by White House Press Secretary Caroline Levitt.
Hamas condemned the renewed hostilities, accusing Netanyahu’s administration of violating the ceasefire and risking the safety of prisoners. A spokesperson for Hamas called upon international mediators to hold Israel accountable, claiming that Netanyahu was prioritizing his political ambitions over peace and the welfare of captives.
In reaction, Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz emphasized that military operations will persist until all hostages are released, issuing a stark warning that “the gates of hell will open” if the hostages remain captive.
Egypt’s Al-Azhar, a prominent Islamic institution, criticized the airstrikes, describing them as a “treacherous terrorist assault” on civilians, particularly affecting women and children. The institution urged the international community to act swiftly to cease what it termed the “Zionist killing machine” and hold accountable those responsible for the attacks.
Egypt’s Foreign Ministry also condemned the airstrikes, categorizing them as a blatant breach of the ceasefire and a perilous act that threatens regional stability. Additionally, Saudi Arabia and Qatar expressed their condemnation, with Qatar’s Prime Minister condemning the assaults on displaced individuals as an “another heinous crime” and advocating for immediate international intervention to reinforce the ceasefire and resume peace talks.
This latest conflict signifies a pivotal moment in the ongoing violence, prompting intensified international demands for accountability and an urgent cessation of hostilities.
The recent Israeli airstrikes in Gaza have resulted in significant casualties, particularly among vulnerable populations, prompting widespread international condemnation. Both Hamas and various governments have called attention to the violation of the ceasefire and the urgent need for accountability. As tensions escalate, calls for immediate action from the international community emphasize the critical need for a resolution to the ongoing conflict.
