• The plan of total expulsion of the inhabitants of southern Gaza and possible destruction of Rafah by the Israeli army is unacceptable to the international community.
• This strategy affects 20% of Gaza, where more than two million people are subjected to the military offensive, and it has resulted in approximately 50,000 deaths, thousands of injured and more than one million displaced people.
• The Netanyahu government shows utter disdain for the dignity of the Palestinians, reducing them to a nuisance and moving even further away from any negotiated solution.
• Criticism for the massacre of civilian Palestinians is condescendingly labelled 'antisemitism', and used as justification to intensify the war strategy.
• The rampant violence unleashed by Netanyahu in Gaza after the Hamas attack on October 7, 2023 has dramatically changed the international relations environment.
• Traditionally aligned with Israel, countries like France are moving towards recognizing the Palestinian State.

Conclusion: The situation in Gaza is desperate. While we don't harbor much hope, we must resist and challenge Netanyahu's policy and welcome any gesture that opposes this bloody strategy.
