The Israeli army confirmed this Sunday that his tanks are already entering Gaza City, as part of his offensive to take the Gazatí capital and displace his million inhabitants from there.
In a message posted in X, the army spokesman in Arabic, Avichay Adraee, affirms that the forces of the 36 division have already “began to enter the city of Gaza” and accompany his message with images of Israeli tanks.
In turn, the Israeli army confirmed in a statement that these forces “have begun their entrance to the city of Gaza” within the “Operation Carros de Gideon II”, the qualifier he uses for the offensive to invade the city. The message indicates that the troops of that division entered the territory of the city after “two weeks of intense preparations for expanded combat operations.”
The note adds: “In recent days, under the command of the Fire Command of the Division, dozens of terrorist objectives were attacked in the Gaza Strip to separate the combat zone and allow the entry of terrestrial troops.”
The news comes just two hours after the United Kingdom, Canada and Australia have recognized Palestine as a state.
Only five days ago Israel launched a great final offensive over Gaza. “We will not give up our efforts and we will not reverse until the mission has been fulfilled,” said Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz.
The hardening of the attacks, which combined aerial bombings with missiles and drones and artillery attacks, as well as shooting from helicopters, even affected several refugee camps.
The Israeli operation arrived just a few days after the evacuation order issued by Israel over the entire city, where a million Palestinians lived. Thousands then followed in the city, given the impossibility of fleeing or the refusal to be displaced again.
The United Nations Rapporteur on Human Rights in the occupied territories, Francesca Albanese, denounced that the objective of the offensive in Ciudad de Gaza was to make it “uninhabitable” and that the number of fatalities in the strip can be ten times greater than the estimated so far.
In addition, on Thursday 18, the US once again vetoed a resolution in the UN Security Council that requested the fire in Gaza in the middle of the Israel offensive. Only two days before the UN Research Commission had concluded that Israel is committing genocide in Gaza.
An Israeli radical minister defends “up the intensity” of the attacks in Gaza
The Minister of National Security of Israel, the ultra -rightist Itamar Ben Gvir, already said Sunday, before the tanks entered the city of Gaza, that “the intensity” of the attacks in the strip should be raised and insisted on its annexation by Israel, as well as in the creation of Israeli settlements in the Palestinian territory.
“We need to make an annexation of the greatest possible amount of territory in Gaza. I already talked about (establish) residential neighborhoods of police in Gaza, in front of the sea. If it is ours, we must say with certainty that it is ours. This is our home and we will stay in it,” said the leader of the extremist party Otzma Yehudit in a radio interview with the Israeli station 103fm.
The statements occur in a context of growing debate within the Israeli government about Gaza's future after the war. While the prime minister, Benjamín Netanyahu, has avoided explicitly pronounced on annexation, Ben Gvir and other members of the ultra -nationalist wing of the coalition press to establish a permanent settlement policy.
The international community almost unanimously rejects any colonization project in Gaza, considering that it violates international law and undermines the possibility of a solution of two states. Organizations such as the United Nations and the European Union have reiterated in recent months their opposition to any unilateral modification attempt of the status of the Palestinian enclave.
Netanyahu will defend before the UN the “vision” of Israel of “La Paz through force”
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamín Netanyahu said Sunday that next Friday he will present to the UN General Assembly his “vision of a true peace: peace through force.”
In a message at the beginning of his government's cabinet meeting, released by his office, Netanyahu recalled that after participating in the assembly, where several countries plan to recognize the Palestinian state, he will meet with the “friend” of Israel and US president, Donald Trump, with whom he has “much to talk about”.
“In the UN, I will present the truth. It is the truth of Israel, but it is the objective truth in our fair fight against the forces of evil and our vision of a true peace: peace through force,” he said.
According to Netanyahu, the calls for the establishment of a Palestinian state “will endanger” the existence of the country.
Israeli ministers ask for the sovereignty of the West Bank after the announcement of the United Kingdom and Canada
Some of Netanyahu's government ministers, including two of the most ultra -rightist, demanded this Sunday the total sovereignty of the already occupied West Bank, shortly after the United Kingdom, Canada and Australia have officially recognized the Palestinian State.
“The recognition of Great Britain, Canada and Australia of a 'Palestinian' State, as a prize for murderers requires immediate response measures: the immediate application of sovereignty in Judea and Samaria (Bank) and the total destruction of the terrorist authority 'Palestine',” wrote in his account X the National Security Minister, Itamar Ben Gvir, who lives in an illegal settlement in an illegal settlement in an illegal settlement in an illegal settlement in an illegal settlement in an illegal settlement in an illegal settlement Bank.
The Minister of Finance, Bezalel Smotrich, expressed himself in similar terms and assured that the “only response to the antiisraeli pass” of the United Kingdom and other countries is also to assume the total sovereignty of the West Bank and “the definitive elimination of the foolish idea of a Palestinian state on the agenda.”
“The days in which the United Kingdom and other countries determine our future,” he threatened. Smotrich has already presented at the beginning of September a plan for the annexation of more than 80% of the occupied West Bank and that, in terms of Gaza, he said that Israel already has a “real estate business” in the strip and that negotiates distribute it to the US.
For the Minister of Culture, Miki Zohar, these ads are a sample of “anti -Semitism and hate to Israel” and also added to the request that Israel be attached to the occupied territories of the West Bank.
Israel controls much of the territory of the occupied West Bank, where it has been expanding its settlements for Jewish settlers or not penalizing the creation of advanced positions, which mark the beginning of a settlement and are illegal according to Israeli legislation. The Israeli army also controls the entry and exit of the West Bank through militarized control positions that can remain closed.
The International Court of Justice, subsequently backed by the UN, considers any Israeli settlement in the West Bank.
