Destruction in Gaza

The Guardian editorial spoke of the growing pain in the Gaza Strip, and said that Netanyahu's "complete victory does not seem imminent", surprising that the United States has resumed some suspended arms shipments to the Israelis while the toll of Israeli air strikes and hunger continues to rise.

The British newspaper said that, after a few months have passed since the start of the Israeli attack on Gaza, the suffering has not ended. Gaza City is witnessing some of the heaviest strikes it has suffered during the war. Surgeons say Israeli-made weapons designed to spray large amounts of shrapnel cause disproportionate harm to children.

The newspaper criticized the Biden administration's contradiction and double standards. When Russia bombed a children's hospital in Kiev on Monday, the White House quickly issued a statement expressing widespread disgust at Joe Biden. However, no declaration of sympathy was issued for the victims of Israeli strikes on or near four schools in Gaza where people were taking shelter, which were carried out in just four days.

The newspaper said that Netanyahu declares that “complete victory” is near, although opinion polls indicate that the majority of Israelis do not agree with him and that they see the return of the hostages as a priority.

The Guardian: Despite the high toll of Israeli air strikes and hunger, the United States is resuming some suspended arms shipments

According to the British newspaper, as the hunger crisis affecting the population of Gaza worsened, the United States abandoned the aid pipeline - a useless means of soothing the conscience, and did nothing more than distract attention from the urgent need to restore land supplies to Gaza to the same level as before. War - while continuing to supply weapons to Israel.

The United States will resume sending 500-pound bombs (although 2,000-pound bombs remain on hold). But she shouldn't do that. The last security priority for the United States was to avoid the outbreak of an all-out war between Israel and Hezbollah in Lebanon.

But while the escalation has many causes, it is unlikely to end without a ceasefire in Gaza.

British arms shipments to Israel constitute only a fraction of those provided by the United States, but these too should be halted, given the heavy civilian casualties.

The general election made clear that many in Britain, not just in the Muslim community, felt isolated when party leader Sir Keir Starmer's initial line on the conflict made the party appear indifferent to Palestinian lives, although Labor later joined calls for a ceasefire.

It would be a small but welcome step if the new government abandons legal intervention at the International Criminal Court that could delay a decision on whether an arrest warrant could be issued for Mr. Netanyahu for alleged war crimes.

The ICC, and international law in general, must be strengthened, not undermined, to protect civilians whether they are in Ukraine, Gaza or elsewhere.
