The attack began: the Israeli forces declared Gaza City ‘War area’ and started military operations, unleashing Hamas’ wrath that promises “a bloodbath” for the soldiers of the Jewish state. The diplomatic bomb launched by the Americans, who decided to revoke the visas of the Palestinian National Authority, including President Abu Mazen, closing the door on the face of the next UN Assembly, then raises the head of the Palestinians. “In accordance with the evaluation of the situation and the directives of the political level, starting today, at 10.00, the local tactical pause of military activities (for the distribution of aid) will not apply to the Gaza City area, which constitutes a dangerous combat area”, announced the Israeli army in the morning.
A few hours later, the spokesman Avichay Adraee specified that “we are not waiting, we started the first stages of the attack on Gaza City”, while in the same minutes the correspondents of Al Jazeera in the city reported “thousands of displaced people on the run under a sky darkened by the smoke of the bombings”. The IDF is in fact heavily hammering the suburbs where it operates “with great force”. The employment plan of Israel of the Gaza Strip “will have a devastating effect on its military and political leadership”, and “the enemy army will pay the price with the bloodbath of its soldiers”, threatened Abu Obeida, spokesman for the arm armed by Hamas, the qassam brigades. The hostages “run the same risks as the Palestinian fighters,” Message in which he warns that “if they die the responsibility will be of the Israeli government”. The Israeli military, who claim the killing of the alleged leader of ISIS in the strip, together with the operations of the Shin Bet recovered the body of the Ilan Weiss hostage, 56 years old killed in the early hours of 7 October two years ago during the attack on Kibbutz Beeri. His wife Shiri and daughter Noga, kidnapped by Hamas, were freed as part of the agreement of November 2023. The remains of another corpse, probably another hostage, are being identified. And while in Gaza we continue to die incessantly, the victim’s balance sheet broke through the roof of the 63 thousand Palestinians killed, including over 300 due to hunger, the White House with a surprise move closes the UN door to the ANP.
The secretary of state Marco Rubio announced the revocation of visas to the members of the organization for the liberation of Palestine (Olp) and the Palestinian authority (ANP) in view of the imminent General Assembly of the United Nations. The two organizations, recites the note of the US State Department, “must systematically repudiate terrorism – including the massacre of 7 October – and put an end to terrorism in education”. His representatives must then “put an end to the attempts to circumvent the negotiations through international campaigns, including appeals to the CPI, and efforts to obtain the unilateral recognition of a hypothetical Palestinian state”. Request, the latter, which sounds mocking for the Palestinian managers based on Ramallah. “The decision uses on visas is illegal”, thunders the president of Anp Abu Mazen. Palestine intervened Foreign Minister Antonio Tajani: “We believe that the Palestinian state can be built through an action similar to that of UNIFIL, a military mission under the United Nations flags and we are willing to participate,” said the head of the Farnesina, specifying to aim for “an Arab -guided mission”. Informal advice, the minister says he is convinced that it should rather “affect the sanctions to the most violent settlers”.
