Israel's Occupation of Gaza Continues

Published on 4.17.25

  The Israeli occupation of Gaza has led to a severe humanitarian crisis, with limited access to essential supplies such as medical care, fuel, and water. MSF coordinator Amande Bazerolle described Gaza as a "mass grave" due to Israel's actions, which have resulted in widespread displacement and shortages. This situation is seen by many as a potential occupation of Gaza, a violation of international law. The Israeli government, under Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, has taken control of more than half of the territory in an effort to pressure Hamas into releasing hostages. The Israeli Defense Minister's statement that troops will remain indefinitely in "security zones" in the Gaza Strip has added to concerns about Israel's intentions. This move is a departure from previous Israeli governments' claims that maintaining control over territories is necessary for self-defense, with the intention of returning them in peace agreements. The current situation suggests a shift in Israeli policy, with some viewing it as a power grab rather than a temporary measure for self-defense. The humanitarian crisis in Gaza is not only a human rights issue but also a test of Israel's commitment to upholding international law and respecting the sovereignty of neighboring countries.
