“Hunger everywhere” in Gaza as Ramadan begins to fall under Israeli siege and bombings Geert Wilders, the winner of the far-right Dutch election, claims he met with Israeli President Herzog and promised to help Israel to the hilt in its war against “terror.”
Having long been a devoted admirer of Israel, Wilders is hoping to head a new government after his nationalist PVV party won elections in November.In a post on X, Wilders wrote, “I told him I am proud that he visits the Netherlands and that Israel has, and always will have, my full support in its fight against terror.”Amidst protests, the Israeli president was in the Netherlands on Sunday to attend the opening of a Holocaust museum in Amsterdam.An official from Palestine criticises Netanyahu’s intentions to construct additional prisons.
The head of the Commission on Detainees and Ex-Detainees Affairs, Qaddoura Fares, has denounced Netanyahu’s move to increase the number of detention facilities.Fares said in a statement that Netanyahu’s head was “crowded with hateful, aggressive plans” and that his choice to outfit and set up new detention facilities “categorically confirms his decision to continue the war against the Palestinian people for as long as possible.”Netanyahu met with a number of his ministers on Sunday, including the far-right Bezalel Smotrich, the minister of finance, and Itamar Ben-Gvir, the minister of national security, and gave them orders to carry out his decision.
Fares stated, “This means that the series of arrests against our defenceless people will continue in an upward curve.”The number of deaths in Gaza climbs.Since October 7, Israeli attacks on the territory have resulted in at least 31,112 deaths and 72,760 injuries in Gaza, according to the Health Ministry.Israeli attacks have resulted in 106 Palestinian injuries and 67 Palestinian deaths in the last 24 hours.
The government also stated that dehydration and hunger had resulted in 25 deaths.There is no denying that this Ramadan is unlike the one from previous year.Approximately twenty-five children, two elderly people, and a young lady have already died as a result of the famine that is spreading throughout the northern portion of Gaza and the ongoing food shortages that are plaguing Palestinians throughout the Gaza Strip.
It is an extremely challenging moment, considering that basic commodities are either nearly completely sold out in the marketplaces in the crowded southern regions of Gaza, mostly in Rafah, or are extremely expensive. People are still in mourning, and the fact that their families are in disarray and that some of their relatives are suffering from a severe hunger in the northern region only serves to lessen their enthusiasm for this holy month.Everyone we know has experienced the loss of a loved one, family member, or acquaintance, which makes things extremely tough for them. The great bulk of the celebrations, lights, lanterns, and decorations that formerly adorned the streets, marketplaces, and mosques to commemorate the beginning of Ramadan have since been destroyed.Concerned about the UN refugee agency’s future, Palestinian refugees in Jordan have been receiving financial cuts from numerous donor nations due to claims that some of its members were involved in the October 7 attack on Israel.
In addition to services, the organisation offers refugees hope that they will be able to return to their native country.Without presenting any proof, Israel charged 12 UNRWA employees from Gaza in late January with being involved in the October 7 attacks. 16 donors quickly suspended their funding to the organisation in response to the strong international reaction.In his Oscars address, director Jonathan Glazer denounces Israel’s invasion on Gaza.
At the 2024 Academy Awards, director Jonathan Glazer spoke about Israel’s attack on Gaza in his victory speech. The Holocaust drama directed by the British, The Zone of Interest, took home the Best International Feature Film prize at the ceremony held on Sunday in Los Angeles, California.”At this moment, we are men who deny being Jewish and that the Holocaust was appropriated by a regime that caused strife for a great number of innocent people,” he declared in his speech.”Be it the Israeli victims of October 7th or the current assault on Gaza. Each and every one of these dehumanised victims. How can we withstand? The audience applauded as he continued.
