Since October 2023, the entire region and the world face an unprecedented risk of escalation, fueled by Israel’s ongoing attacks on Gaza, Westbank and Lebanon backed by some colonial powers, which flagrantly violate ethical, humanitarian, and military red lines, as well as international law.
The continued escalation is primarily due to the absence of any deterrent to Israel’s actions, its continued repeated violations of international law, and its continued impunity. This reality exacerbates crises, puts the region on the brink of the abyss, and exposes it to more tensions that will have a profound impact regionally and internationally.
Israel is expanding its genocide so that it can continue with is genocide and massacres in Gaza unabated. In the last 24 hours, Israeli occupation forces committed massacres against families in Khan Yunis – Gaza Strip, resulting in the killing of at least 60 Palestinian martyrs. The Palestinian death toll from the Israel’s ongoing aggression has surged to 41,638 reported fatalities, with an additional 96,359 individuals sustaining injuries. The majority of the victims are women and children.
The state of Palestine stresses the urgent need for the UN Security Council to take immediate action to curb Israeli aggression and hold its leadership accountable for war crimes. In an environment where UN Security Council resolutions are not being implemented, coercive measures should be taken against Israel.
