Palestine warns of 'catastrophic consequences' from an Israeli decision to halt the entry of humanitarian aid, but Israel’s already thinking next step, hopefully short of war
|
[PUBLISH.TWITTER] Responding to this story from yesterday. Nobody seems to be commenting publicly about Hama’s threat to harm more hostages, for some reason.
Hamas calls Israel's suspension of aid to Gaza a 'war crime'
[GEO.TV] Hamas on Sunday slammed Israel's suspension of supplies and aid entering Gaza, describing it as a "war crime" and a violation of the ceasefire agreement.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's "decision to suspend humanitarian aid is cheap blackmail, a war crime and a blatant coup against the (ceasefire) agreement", the group said in a statement.
NGOs petition High Court to bar government from cutting aid to Gaza
One wonders if these and similar NGOs were clients of USAID or similar. Something for the Netanyahu government to look into… The Gisha human rights organization and four other NGOs file a motion to the High Court of Justice calling for an interim order banning the government from cutting of the supply of humanitarian aid to the Gaza Strip, saying the step endangers the lives of Palestinian civilians in the territory and therefore violates Israel’s obligations under international law.
Gisha argues that halting the provision of aid is illegal “even if [Israel] claims that the existing aid is sufficient,” and says that recent media reports that six babies in Gaza died of hypothermia in February proved the claim to be false anyway.
No. That proves that the Hamas government has no problem with its Gaza subjects suffering when they have the means to alleviate it stuffed into bursting warehouses. “According to humanitarian law, there is an obligation to protect the civilian population and allow the free passage of humanitarian aid to such a population,” writes Gisha in its petition.
The way to do that is for the IDF to break into the warehouses and pass out the contents to the residents, preferably in front of cameras. Why don’t they? “These obligations cannot be made conditional on political considerations, and humanitarian aid cannot be used as a tool of war or a way of exerting pressure,” the human rights groups contends.
Israel cut off the aid supply to Gaza this morning, with the Prime Minister’s Office stating that “Israel will not allow a ceasefire without the release of our hostages.” Hebrew media reported that Israel currently believes enough aid has entered the enclave in recent weeks to last Gaza for several months.
Report: Next potential steps to pressure Hamas include cutting electricity to Gaza, resuming war
[IsraelTimes] Israel is planning to incrementally pile on pressure on Hamas to accept a new proposal extending the ceasefire deal’s first phase and securing the release of all the hostages the terror group is holding, in addition to Sunday’s halt to aid entering the Gaza Strip, the Kan public broadcaster reports.
The report says the next stages of Israel’s “maximum pressure” plan, said to have been drafted over the past few weeks, is to again move the Gazan population from northern Gaza to the territory’s south — as had been the case for most of the war — and later, if needed, cutting all electricity to the Strip.
The final planned measure is reportedly a full return to the war, this time with the heavy bombs withheld by the previous US administration as well as the billions worth of arms and military equipment the new administration is sending Israel.
Hamas foresees 'surge in military activity' from tomorrow
| Possibly, yes, though Israel has a few more things to try first. |

The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage.

''He blamed Israel for failing to start those talks, adding that the Israeli military is trying to recover its captives without agreeing to the end of the war to retain the possibility of resuming the aggression on the Gaza Strip,'' it added.
The spokesperson concluded by stating that the current position of Israel to extend the first phase of the truce is not acceptable at all for Hamas.
"Potentially, we might see a surge in military activity starting tomorrow as there are no obligations any more to sustain the ceasefire,'' the publication said.
''That's been left up in the air as the mediators try to contain this crisis and prevent a return to fighting that will bring nothing but further devastation to the people of Gaza,'' it added.
