Any conversation about a ceasefire proposal must start with this: Palestinians in Gaza and hostages in captivity deserve to be free and safe from bombing, starvation, and suffering immediately. Any deal that brings us closer to a cessation of this intolerable reality is welcome. (1/3)

“We call on Israel to urgently review its rules of engagement to ensure full compliance with international humanitarian law, notably the protection of civilians, including children, and to conduct a thorough and independent investigation of this incident and all allegations of violations.”

This new war is a gift to Netanhayu. Suddenly nobody is talking about things like the war in Gaza, hostages, war crimes, coalition collapses, democracy, peace summits, international sanctions. You think that’s an accident? Or maybe that was the whole point… open.substack.com/pub/elanaszt...

Virtually all human rights organizations in Israel call the government to halt its attacks and open the crossings for aid. This is from 19th May. Signed by B’Tselem, Breaking the Silence, Gisha, Mizrahi Civic Collective, Mothers Against Violence, Physicians for Human Rights Israel, Yesh Din, etc.

During the past several days, Israel has intensified its attacks on Gaza, following more than ten weeks during which it blocked all entry of aid and other goods to the Strip. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s statement last night that Israel will allow entry of “a basic amount of food for the population” in order to continue the war demonstrates that Israel has no intention to stop its unlawful use of aid as a lever of political pressure.

Every day, the Israeli army is killing and injuring hundreds of Palestinians in Gaza. All residents of the Strip are at risk of famine, while the healthcare system is collapsing due to severe shortages of medicine, medical equipment, and fuel. Israel is deliberately inflicting conditions that make life impossible in Gaza, with the declared goal of carrying out ethnic cleansing.

Israel must stop the attacks and allow immediate entry of aid!

The plan being formulated by the US and Israel for distribution of goods does not meet gaping humanitarian needs created by the blockade and widespread attacks. The UN and other international humanitarian organizations operating in Gaza have categorically rejected the plan on the grounds that it does not adhere to basic humanitarian principles.

Israel has openly declared that the plan aims to advance its goals of expanding its physical presence in Gaza and forcibly transferring the civilian population. Israel’s commission of war crimes, which could also amount to crimes against humanity, must not be met with continued silence and inaction by the international community.

We call again for the immediate and unconditional release of the hostages. Simultaneously, Israel must immediately stop its attacks, cease its policy of starvation, open the crossings for entry of aid to Gaza, and allow aid organizations in the Strip to carry out their work.

It's going to be high stakes drama in Israel for the next two weeks. Either the government is able to consolidate power - and transform Israel's constitution - or it is forced into retreat and early elections. There are compromise middle paths but they seem less likely. 1/

”Man får inte missförstå oss och tro att vi är ett slags mellangrupp som inte väljer sida, vi är väldigt ideologiska och vi väljer sida. Den sida vi väljer är frihet för palestinier och judiska israeler, fred för båda folken. Samtidigt måste vi erkänna den ojämlika maktbalansen.”
