    Le ministère de la santé de Gaza a déclaré que 54 personnes ont été tuées dans les attaques israéliennes sur l’enclave au cours des dernières 24 heures, ce qui porte le total à 34 151 depuis le 7 octobre.

    En outre, 77 084 personnes ont été blessées depuis le début de la guerre.

    Au moins 8 425 Palestiniens ont été arrêtés par les forces israéliennes en Cisjordanie occupée depuis le 7 octobre, selon les groupes de prisonniers palestiniens.

    Bonjour aux lecteurs de MEE. Jeudi, les retombées se sont poursuivies après la menace de l’Iran de riposter contre Israël à la suite de la frappe aérienne qui a visé l’ambassade de Téhéran à Damas, en Syrie, au début du mois.

    Le secrétaire d’État américain Antony Blinken a appelé ses homologues turc, chinois et saoudien pour leur faire part de la nécessité de veiller à ce qu’il n’y ait pas d’escalade au Moyen-Orient à la suite de la guerre menée par Israël à Gaza. L’Iran a promis de riposter à la frappe, qui a tué trois commandants militaires iraniens de haut rang.

    Israël, quant à lui, a déclaré que si une frappe iranienne avait lieu sur son territoire, il répondrait « de manière appropriée », indiquant ainsi qu’il pourrait lancer une attaque directe contre l’Iran.

    Le ministre iranien des affaires étrangères a également déclaré que les États-Unis portaient la responsabilité de l’attaque, alors que Washington a répété à plusieurs reprises qu’il n’était pas impliqué dans l’attaque.

    Au lendemain de l’assassinat par Israël des enfants et petits-enfants du chef politique du Hamas, Ismail Haniyeh, ce dernier a déclaré que le Hamas poursuivrait les négociations en vue de mettre fin à la guerre.
    « Les intérêts du peuple palestinien passent avant tout », a-t-il déclaré.

    Voici ce qu’il faut savoir de plus sur les événements d’aujourd’hui :

    Au moins six personnes ont été tuées lors d’un bombardement israélien sur le marché de Firas, dans la ville de Gaza.

    Le Commandement central américain a procédé à un nouveau largage d’aide humanitaire, larguant environ 6 000 livres de nourriture dans le nord de la bande de Gaza.

    Zaher Jabarin, membre du bureau politique du Hamas, a appelé les pays arabes à expulser les ambassadeurs israéliens de leur pays.

    Haniyeh, chef politique du Hamas, a nié que ses fils, tués lors d’une frappe israélienne cette semaine, étaient des combattants du groupe.

    Les États-Unis ont informé leurs employés en Israël qu’ils ne devaient pas voyager en dehors des zones de Tel Aviv, Jérusalem et Be’er Sheva, alors que l’Iran menace de prendre des mesures de rétorsion à l’encontre d’Israël.

    Plus de 250 groupes de défense des droits et organisations humanitaires ont signé une déclaration exhortant les pays du monde entier à mettre fin à la vente et au transfert d’armes à Israël.

    Samantha Power, directrice de l’Agence américaine pour le développement international (USAID), a déclaré lors d’une audition au Congrès que la famine sévissait déjà dans certaines parties du nord de la bande de Gaza.

    On Friday, Israel escalated its bombardment campaign against Lebanon and Syria, with a series of air strikes in the Aleppo province that killed more than 40 people.

    Israel also said that it killed a Hezbollah commander in south Lebanon. The escalatory strikes have further raised concerns about Israel’s willingness to seek peace as it continues to increase attacks in the wider conflict amid its ongoing war in Gaza.

    Meanwhile, countries continue to airdrop humanitarian assistance into the Gaza Strip, as the threat of famine grows for the Palestinian population.

    The death toll in Gaza, according to the latest figures from the Palestinian health ministry, stands at 32,623.

    Here’s what else you need to know from Friday’s developments:

    An Israeli strike on a sports centre in Gaza City’s Shujaiyah neighbourhood killed 15 people

    Two Israeli attacks in Gaza City’s Shujaiyah neighbourhood killed several members of the local police force in charge of securing aid convoys to the area

En parallèle, l’agence de presse palestinienne Wafa a dénombré des heurts dans différentes localités de la Cisjordanie occupée.

      On Wednesday, Israeli forces continued their raid on al-Shifa hospital for the 10th consecutive day.

      Israel said it killed “dozens” of Hamas and Islamic Jihad fighters, but Hamas denies having any of its fighters inside the hospital.

      One of the journalists who was inside the hospital, Bayan Abulsultan, has not been seen since 19 March, and Reporters Without Borders is calling on Israel’s military to share any information about the reporter.

      The cross-border attacks between Hezbollah and Israel escalated on Wednesday, with Hezbollah launching a barrage of rockets at the largely evacuated town of Kiryat Shmona, northern Israel. The attack was in retaliation for Israel’s overnight strike on an emergency health centre in al-Habbariyeh, south Lebanon, that killed seven rescuers.

      Israel responded again with two strikes in southern Lebanon that killed at least eight people.

      Here’s what else you need to know from Wednesday’s developments:

      Thousands of Jordanians took to the streets of Amman for another night, protesting against the ongoing war in Gaza.

      A State Department official has resigned from her position, citing US support for Israel’s war. Annelle Sheline became the most significant Biden official to resign from their position since Josh Paul, who oversaw arms transfers at the State Department, resigned in October.

      Al Jazeera Arabic aired footage showing Israeli forces killing two unarmed Palestinians attempting to return to northern Gaza, and then burying them afterwards.

      Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has been working to reschedule a meeting with the White House regarding the planning military invasion of Rafah. This comes after he cancelled the meeting in anger over the US abstention on a UN Security Council vote calling for a ceasefire in Gaza.

      Matthew Miller, a spokesperson for the State Department, accused UN Special Rapporteur Francesca Albanese of having a history of antisemitic comments. Albanese released a report this week stating there are reasonable grounds to believe Israel is committing genocide.

      The White House expressed condolences to the people who drowned while trying to retrieve aid that was airdropped into the water off a beach in Gaza.

    At least 32,226 Palestinians have been killed, among them 84 in the past 24 hours, and 74,518 injured in Israel’s air and ground assault into the densely populated Gaza Strip, according to the local health ministry.

    Today, Israel informed the United Nations today that it will no longer allow Unrwa food convoys into north Gaza, where 70 percent of people face the highest level of food scarcity.

    UN chief Antonio Guterres denounced “horror & starvation” in Gaza during his humanitarian visit to Egypt, in a series of posts to X.

    Meanwhile, the US announced that it sent an airdrop over north Gaza in cooperation with the Jordanian air force.

    The shipment is the 13th humanitarian aid airdrop to the area, however, the UN and other aid organisations have warned that airdrops cannot provide nearly enough aid to alleviate the catastrophic humanitarian situation in Gaza.

    Other updates from today include:

    In a joint statement, 14 NGOs came together to state that Israel is not in compliance with US President Joe Biden’s national security memorandum that barred recipients of US weapons from obstructing humanitarian aid in conflict zones.

    The US Conference of Catholic Bishops called for a ceasefire in Gaza ahead of the Christian Easter holidays.

    French President Emmanuel Macron warned Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu that forcible population transfer is a war crime that violates international law, condemning “Israeli announcements on settlements” in talks with the Israeli leader.

    Riot police fired tear gas to push back hundreds of Jordanian demonstrators marching to the Israeli embassy in Amman on Sunday in protest at Israel’s latest storming of hospitals in Gaza and mounting civilian deaths.

  • In the West, Israel never initiates violence, it only ’retaliates’

    Pro-Palestine protesters hold a banner inside the lobby of The New York Times’s offices during an action criticising the newspaper’s coverage of Israel’s war on Gaza on 14 March in New York City (Michael Nigro/Sipa USA via Reuters)

    One of the remarkable things about western support for settler-colonialism in Palestine is its insistence that the Zionist act of colonisation is legitimate and does not constitute aggression against the indigenous Palestinians.

    On the other hand, it views the resistance that the Palestinians mount against settler-colonialism as illegitimate.

    This is why the massive repression that Jewish colonists visit upon the Palestinian natives is invariably identified by Israel, western governments, think tanks, and the obsequious western press as “retaliations” or “reprisals”.

    Such descriptions have been used by settler colonies more generally for their massacres but are never used to denote the indigenous peoples’ resistance to settler colonialism. From this perspective, the initial violence in settler colonies is always that of indigenous resistance, which is why the colonists’ war against the natives is always an act of “retaliation”.

    This is not confined to the recent genocidal war that Israel waged against Gaza since 7 October, which it and western media identify as “retaliation”. (...)

    Why is the same western media obsessively reheating five-month-old allegations against Hamas so reluctant to focus on Israel’s current, horrifying atrocities?

    Hostages tortured to death. Parents executed in front of their children. Doctors beaten. Babies murdered. Sexual assault weaponised.

    No, not Hamas crimes. This is part of an ever-growing list of documented atrocities committed by Israel in the five months since 7 October - quite separate from the carpet bombing of 2.3 million Palestinians in Gaza and a famine induced by Israel’s obstruction of aid.

    Last week, an investigation by the Israeli newspaper Haaretz disclosed that some 27 Palestinians seized off Gaza’s streets over the past five months are known to have died during interrogations inside Israel.

    Some were denied medical treatment. But most are likely to have been tortured to death.

    Three months ago, a Haaretz editorial warned that Israeli jails “must not become execution facilities for Palestinians”. (...)

  • War on Gaza: Jewish opposition to Israel is as old as Zionism itself Joseph Massad | 29 February 2024 14:20 GMT | Middle East Eye

    European and American Jews have been at the forefront of opposition to Zionism since its birth as a colonial-settler movement at the end of the 19th century

    Last week, hundreds of people protested at the Manhattan headquarters of the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (Aipac), the most formidable pro-Israel lobbying group in the United States, as well as at the offices of US senators who receive funding from Aipac, demanding a ceasefire. New York police arrested 12 people.

    The action was organised by the New York chapter of the anti-Zionist group Jewish Voice for Peace (JVP) and was the latest of dozens of Jewish protests against Israel’s genocidal war on Gaza.

    In November, Jewish activists occupied the Statue of Liberty, demanding an immediate ceasefire and chanting “Not in our name”. The ongoing protests since 7 October 2023 confirm what pro-Israel groups have feared for the past two decades: that support for Israel is dwindling among American Jews.

    In fact, a survey conducted by the Jewish Electorate Institute in June and July 2021 found that 22 percent of Jews believed that Israel was “committing genocide against the Palestinians”, while 25 percent agreed that “Israel is an apartheid State”, and 34 percent thought that “Israel’s treatment of the Palestinians is similar to racism in the US”. Of those under 40 years old, 33 percent believed that Israel is committing genocide against the Palestinians. These numbers were collated two years before the current genocide.

    Like JVP, a Jewish congregation called Tzedek, founded in 2015, had initially described itself as “non-Zionist” but later redefined itself as “anti-Zionist”. The predominantly younger membership in such organisations also signals a generational shift within US Jewry. (...)

      It’s 07:50 in Palestine and Israel. Here are the latest developments from Israel’s war on Gaza, which enters its 124th day today:

      Israeli fighter jets intensified overnight air strikes in Rafah, a small border town with Egypt sheltering over 1.3 million internally displaced civilians.

      North of Rafah, Israeli forces tightened their siege of Khan Youni’s main hospital, the Nasser Medical Complex, as fighting raged on elsewhere in the city.

      A suspected Israeli air strike in Syria’s Homs late on Tuesday killed a man, a woman and a child, according to a human rights monitor.

      Saudi Arabia rebuffed White House spokesperson John Kirby for saying that a normalisation deal with Israel was separate from a Gaza ceasefire agreement.

      Riyadh insisted “there will be no diplomatic relations with Israel unless an independent Palestinian state is recognised on the 1967 borders with East Jerusalem as its capital, and that the Israeli aggression on the Gaza Strip stops and all Israeli occupation forces withdraw from the Gaza Strip”.

    • Day 124 : Dozens Of Palestinians Killed By Israeli Missiles In Gaza

      https://imemc.org/article/day-124-dozens-of-palestinians-killed-by-israeli-missiles-in-gaza

      On Wednesday, Day 124 of the ongoing Israeli onslaught and genocidal bombings of civilian areas, Israeli missiles and shells killed dozens of Palestinians, including women and children, and injured many more, in several parts of the Gaza Strip.

      The Palestinian Health Ministry said the army “committed 12 massacres against Palestinian families in Gaza over the last 24 hours, killing 107 Palestinians and wounding more than 143.”

      The Israeli bombing targeted many areas in Rafah, in the eastern, southern, and western parts, especially in areas near the perimeter fence where dozens of families fled.

      In the Tal Al-Sultan area in Rafah, the army fired missiles and shells at many homes, killing and wounding several Palestinians, including a journalist from the Abu Ghali family along with his mother and his sister.

      The army also fired a missile at a home of the Khaffaja family near the Al-Qadisiya School, in Tal Al-Sultan, killing Ayyoub Yahia Hamad Khaffaja.

      Also in Rafah, Israeli missiles killed a woman from the Arsan and her child in the Zohour neighborhood, bringing the number of slain Palestinians to twelve, in addition to many injuries, in just a few hours.

      The Qatar-based Al-Jazeera said the Israeli Air Force is conducting extensive aerial strikes, and creating massive fire belts in areas north of Rafah.

      Al-Aqsa Satellite TV said the army is firing dozens of artillery shells, tank shells, and missiles targeting all areas east of Rafah, while Israeli navy ships fired many missiles into Palestinian areas near the border with Egypt.

      Over the past several days, the Israeli army has been threatening to invade Rafah where at least 1.400.000, including those who fled northern and central Gaza, are sheltering in make-shift camps, under the cold, and without basic supplies or any infra-structure. (...)

      It’s just after 7:30 in Palestine and Israel. Here are the latest developments of day 123 of Israel’s war on Gaza:

      Israeli fighter jets continued to bomb Palestinians across the Gaza Strip at an intense rate.

      Shelling in Rafah overnight has killed at least four people. Artillery shelling and raids were also reported in Khan Younis and northern Gaza.

      US Secretary of State Antony Blinken finished a visit to Saudi Arabia and is due to fly out to Egypt today. His regional tour, which will include stops in Qatar and Israel, comes amid a push to end the war.

      A cargo ship sailing off the coast of Yemen’s Hodaidah was hit with a projectile, leading to minor damage.

      Amir Ohana, the Israeli parliament speaker, said Monday during an official visit to the US that Israel was seeking the “complete defeat of Hamas” in the war.

      Humanitarian crisis in Gaza

      At least 27,478 people have been killed and 66,835 wounded in Israeli attacks on Gaza since October 7.
      A convoy of trucks waiting to bring food into the Gaza Strip was hit by Israeli fire on Monday, according to UNRWA director Thomas White. There were no casualties but goods were damaged.
      The Ahli Arab Hospital in Gaza City received a “surge of injured people” after the “rapid deterioration” of al-Shifa Hospital, according to the World Health Organization (WHO).
      Some 6,000 people are also waiting to be evacuated from the Strip for crucial medical care, the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) says.
      Around 8,000 people sheltering in al-Amal Hospital were able to leave after two weeks of siege, according to the Palestinian Red Crescent Society (PRCS).
      OCHA says 66 percent of planned humanitarian missions to distribute food and water and to provide hospital support were denied by Israeli authorities in January. Meanwhile, Jordanian and Dutch troops jointly airdropped aid supplies into Gaza, as well as medical supplies.

      Regional tensions and diplomacy

      US Secretary of State Antony Blinken is visiting the Middle East to push for a truce between Israel and Hamas as well as the release of captives in Gaza and Palestinian prisoners in Israel.
      A Barbados-flagged, UK-owned cargo ship was attacked by a drone in the Red Sea, 57km (around 35 miles) west of the Yemeni city of Hodeidah. Yemen’s Houthis have been attacking cargo ships in the Red Sea since November in protest at Israel’s war on Gaza.
      The UN has appointed an independent panel to investigate its aid agency for Palestinian refugees, UNRWA, following accusations that its staff were involved in Hamas’s October 7 attacks in southern Israel, and the subsequent cut to funding from main donors like the United States and Germany.
      China and Russia representatives at a UN Security Council meeting said the US is escalating tensions and had impinged on other countries’ sovereignty by carrying out air strikes in Syria and Iraq over the weekend. The strikes were in response to the killing of US troops in Jordan last week but the US has admitted it did not give Iraq prior notice of strikes.
      Amir Ohana, speaker of the Knesset, met with UN national security adviser Jake Sullivan on Monday and said Israel’s goal in Gaza was the “complete defeat of Hamas”. Ohana also said that “the Iranian-led axis of evil must feel the resolve of the free world in the shape of a diplomatic and military iron curtain”, referring to rising tensions in Yemen, Iraq, Lebanon and Syria.

      Occupied West Bank

      Israel has been accused of withholding the body of a 14-year-old Palestinian boy, killed by Israeli forces in the occupied West Bank on Monday, from his relatives. Defence for Children International, a civil society organisation, said the action violates international law.
      Israeli forces have arrested a minor from the village of Aqqa and two young brothers from the village of Asfi, both in the hamlet of Masafer Yatta, south of Hebron in the occupied West Bank, the Wafa news agency reports. Raids have been reported in five other areas of the West Bank in the past few days.

    Israeli forces raided several cities across the occupied West Bank, arresting citizens and destroying infrastructure.

    The Israeli army said a soldier was killed in Gaza on Tuesday, bringing the death toll among troops to 520.

  • War on Gaza: The West will stand in the dock alongside Israel at the genocide court
    Jonathan Cook | 9 January 2024 11:48 GMT | Middle East Eye
    https://www.middleeasteye.net/opinion/war-gaza-west-stand-dock-alongside-israel-genocide-court

    (...) The aim of the 1948 Genocide Convention, drafted in the immediate wake of the Second World War and the Nazi Holocaust, was not simply to punish those who carry out genocides.

    It was designed to help identify a genocide in its early stages, and create a mechanism - through the rulings of the International Court of Justice - by which it could be halted.

    In other words, the purpose of South Africa’s case is not to arbitrate what happens once Israel has annihilated the Palestinians of Gaza, as far too many observers appear to imagine. It is to stop Israel from annihilating the people of Gaza before it is too late.

    Based on strange logic, Israel’s supporters imply that the genocide charge is unwarranted because the real aim is not to exterminate the Palestinians of Gaza but to induce them to flee.

    Israeli leaders have encouraged this assumption. In an interview on Sunday, the national security minister, Itamar Ben-Gvir, noted of Gaza’s population that - after being bombed, made homeless, starved and left vulnerable to disease - “hundreds of thousands will leave now”. Duplicitiously, he termed this a “voluntary” mass emigration.

    But such an outcome - itself a crime against humanity - entirely depends on Egypt opening its borders to allow Palestinians to flee the killing fields. If Cairo refuses to submit to Israel’s violent blackmail, it will be Israel’s bombs, the famine it inflicted, and the lethal diseases it unleashed that decimate Gaza’s population.

    The International Court of Justice must not adopt a wait-and-see approach, pondering whether Israel’s bombing campaign and siege lead to extermination or “only” ethnic cleansing. That would strip international humanitarian law of all relevance.
    (...)
    British and US media have given airtime to Israeli officials who openly incite genocide.

    All that would have to stop immediately after a ruling. The police in western nations would be expected to investigate and the courts prosecute those inciting genocide or providing a platform for incitement.

    States would be expected to deny Israel weapons and impose economic sanctions on Israel - as well as on any states that collude in the genocide.

    Israeli officials would risk arrest for travelling to western countries.

    Double standards

    In practice, of course, none of that is likely to happen. Israel is far too important to the West - as a projection of its power into the oil-rich Middle East - to be sacrificed.

    Any effort to enforce a genocide ruling through the UN Security Council will be blocked by the Biden administration.

    Meanwhile, the UK, along with Canada, Germany, Denmark, France and the Netherlands, have already demonstrated how unabashed they are about their own double standards.

    Weeks ago they submitted formal arguments to the International Court of Justice that Myanmar was committing genocide against the Rohingya ethnic group. Their central argument was that the Rohingya were being subjected “to a subsistence diet, systematic expulsion from homes, and the induction of essential medical services below minimum requirement”.

    But none of these western states is backing South Africa’s genocide submission to the same court - even though conditions in Gaza engineered by Israel are even worse.

    The truth is that a genocide ruling by the court will open up a can of worms for the West, and its readiness to accept that the provisions of international law apply to it too.

    Israel has been at the forefront of efforts to unravel international law in Gaza for more than a decade. Now it is ostentatiously flaunting its perpetration of the crime of genocide, as if daring the world to stop it.

    Perversely, it is reversing the very international safeguards put in place to stop a repeat of the Nazi Holocaust.

    Will the West defy Israel or the court? The post-war consensus that serves as the foundation for international law - already shaken by the failure to address the West’s war crimes in Iraq and Afghanistan - is on the verge of complete collapse.

    And no one will be happier with that outcome than the state of Israel.
