Large offensive in the Gaza Strip: Israel attacks, the location escalates!
The Israeli army launched a new major offensive in the Gaza Strip on Friday with the name "Gideon’s Chariots". This offensive follows the multi-day visit of the former US President Donald Trump in the Golf region, which ended on the same day. According to The press aims to achieve operational control over strategically important points in the gaza strip, to achieve the release of hostages and smash the Hamas.
According to reports, the attacks were already focused at the start of the operation in the north of the Gaza Strip and have led to a high number of dead. Information from the health authority controlled by the Hamas speaks of dozens killed, although it remains unclear how many of them are civilians. The information is not independently checked because the reporting from the area is severely restricted. Critics, such as the head of the UN Human Rights Office, Volker Türk, have condemned the offensive as a possible violation of international law and warn of a permanent population shift.Humanitarian crisis in the Gaza Strip
In addition to the military clashes, the offensive tightens the already catastrophic humanitarian situation in the Gaza Strip. According to Uno-Nothilfekoordinator Tom Fletcher, the situation could lead to a famine. The UN and various aid organizations have warned and required measures.
according to Tagesschau plans to deliver 160,000 pallets with relief goods to Gaza immediately. However, Israel has been blocking humanitarian aid for 75 days, which further tightens the situation. In addition, the UN has provided 9,000 trucks that could be left in the Gaza Strip.
The Gaza Humanitrian Foundation, supported by the USA, also plans to start distributing relief goods at the end of May after Israel has agreed to enable this aid deliveries. However, Fletcher said that the UN will not work with the US Foundation because the distribution plan is not considered impartial.
future perspectives and international efforts
In the middle of the military offensive, the need for a long -term solution to the conflict between Israel and Palestinians is becoming increasingly clear. The UN is planning an international conference on the two-state solution, which is to take place in the UN headquarters in New York from June 17th to June 20th. This conference is managed by France and Saudi Arabia and is based on a resolution of the UN General Assembly from December.
The offensive of "Gideon’s Chariots" could not only influence the immediate military goals of Israel, but also plunge the future of the region into an even greater conflict. The international community is asked to react to the dramatic situation of the civilian population and to take effective measures to the de -escalation of the conflict.
