The Israeli and international press continues to cover the developments of the war on the Gaza Strip and its repercussions, trying to shed light on the course of the battles and its field and political repercussions.
Haaretz newspaper quoted retired Israeli General Yitzhak Brik as saying that the information he received from soldiers and officers fighting in Gaza since the start of the war refutes the allegations and information presented by the Israeli occupation army spokesman and circulated by analysts on television.
He added that “the number of deaths of the Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas) is much lower,” noting that “most of the war does not take place face-to-face and that most of the Israeli deaths and injuries were caused by Hamas rockets and bombs.”
The Israeli newspaper “Jerusalem Post” reported what investigations revealed that the killing of 3 Israeli prisoners by Israeli army gunfire in the Shujaiya neighborhood, east of Gaza, was the result of orders given to soldiers to shoot all men of fighting age without discrimination.
Investigations indicated that “the orders were issued that morning, following attacks carried out by Hamas fighters in civilian clothing against Israeli soldiers.”
In turn, the American newspaper “The New York Times” said that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who is under American pressure to reduce the pace of bombing of Gaza, visited the Strip to announce the opposite.
The newspaper added that Netanyahu stressed that the war would intensify, and that military pressure alone would be enough to achieve the goals of the war, including the liberation of Israeli detainees, noting that he returned to Tel Aviv to find himself under pressure from the families of the prisoners who wanted to return them immediately.
For its part, the Washington Post newspaper saw that a new generation of American Muslims rose to support Gaza in a remarkable way. She added that protests in support of the Palestinians began to appear throughout the United States, where children of refugees from Islamic countries organized many demonstrations.
She explained that the demonstrations indicate an awakening and growing collective awareness among a new generation of young Americans who are helping to shape American public opinion.
As for the writer Ziad Majed, he focused on the French website “Orion 21” on the great caution in the West regarding the use of the term genocide in Gaza.
The writer said that the use of the term in France is still very cautious and limited, but from the perspective of international law, the importance of the term to describe the ongoing massacre in Gaza since the seventh of last October is clear.
The International Federation for Human Rights also adopted a resolution calling what Israel is doing against the Palestinians “continuing genocide.”
