Israel: «Hamas no longer controls Gaza». The king of Jordan: «If Netanyahu doesn't stop the crisis will get worse»
For the sovereign, the continuous "violations in the West Bank and Jerusalem could push the region towards an explosion"
" Hamas has lost control of the Strip ." This was announced by Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant , adding that " the militiamen are fleeing to the south while Israeli troops have taken over the Parliament in Gaza City ." And if neither of the two forces in the field shows the will to take a step back, the ongoing fighting now has as its epicenter the areas near the hospitals , which Hamas has transformed into places of resistance against the army. A detail that has aroused perplexity and concern among the ranks of the NGO Human RIght Watch (HRW), which points the finger at Netayahu's government. “The repeated, apparently illegal attacks – explains the organization – by the Israeli army against medical facilities, personnel and transport are further destroying Gaza's healthcare system and should be investigated as war crimes.”
«Concerns about disproportionate attacks – continues the HRW in a statement – are amplified for hospitals. Even the threat of an attack or minor harm can have enormous life-or-death implications for patients and healthcare workers." «The Israeli government should stop attacks on hospitals. The Independent International Commission of Inquiry into the Occupied Palestinian Territories and the International Criminal Court should investigate,” the note concludes.
Added to the NGO's warnings are the words of Jordan's King Abdullah , according to whom "any scenario that includes the reoccupation of parts of Gaza by Israel will worsen the crisis and continued Israeli "violations" in the West Bank and Jerusalem could push the region towards an explosion." As reported by the official Petra news agency cited by the Guardian. “A military or security solution will not succeed,” concludes the sovereign, underlining that the conflict had its origins in the occupation and deprivation of the rights of the Palestinian people. Adding to the fiery situation are the UN declarations, according to which humanitarian operations in Gaza "will cease within 48 hours due to lack of fuel".
