The State Department condemned the attacks on health centers, press teams, schools, universities and other civilian facilities in a statement.
The occupying state is continuing the crime of ethnic cleansing and using banned weapons to get rid of the Palestinians living in this coastal enclave, he said.
He also criticized “the mass killings carried out around the clock by Israeli aircraft and the mass destruction and humanitarian disasters taking place everywhere.”
Israel’s actions have nothing to do with its right to self-defense, they are aimed at completely destroying the Palestinian presence in the Gaza Strip, he assured.
Palestinian Prime Minister Mohammad Shtayyeh yesterday accused the country of committing genocide and promoting ethnic cleansing with its bombings.
At the weekly Cabinet meeting in that city, the official reported that the dead included 800 minors and 500 women.
Each of these people has a story and a life, they are not “human animals,” he emphasized, alluding to the formulation of Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant.
Shtayyeh criticized Israel’s order to 1.1 million Palestinians in the northern strip to leave their homes and flee to the south.
“Our people will not leave their country or emigrate, no matter how serious the victims are, we will face them,” said the politician.
The prime minister called for urgent intervention by the international community, particularly the United States, whose government had given Israel the green light for its offensive against the Islamic Resistance Movement.
The world must stop aggression, provide protection to civilians and their homes and prevent their displacement, the Palestinian leader affirmed.
