Israel Faces Diplomatic Collapse as Pressure Mounts over Gaza Crisis – Report

Israel Faces Diplomatic Crisis Amid Gaza Famine

International Pressure Mounts Over Blocked Aid and Civilian Deaths

A severe diplomatic rift looms for Israel as famine grips Gaza, with the government reportedly ignoring escalating international warnings about a deepening humanitarian catastrophe.

Government Accused of Political Motivation in Aid Halt

An Israeli daily, Yedioth Ahronoth, revealed that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu‘s administration decided on March 2 to cease food aid entry into Gaza. This move allegedly disregarded internal assessments highlighting worsening famine conditions and urgent appeals from officials like Gen. Ghassan Alian and numerous relief organizations. Sources cited by the newspaper suggest the decision stemmed not from strategic concerns but from political pressure exerted by National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir and Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich, both known for their far-right stances.

The Israeli government was reportedly aware that Gaza was “on the brink of famine,” yet persisted in blocking aid, thereby endangering countless Palestinian civilians.

Aid Seekers Among Thousands Killed

The Gaza Health Ministry reports that over 1,330 Palestinians seeking aid have died, with more than 8,818 injured since the launch of the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF) in late May. The European Union has issued a stern warning to Israel, hinting at potential suspension of its partnership agreement over the escalating crisis.

“Israel has steered itself into both a humanitarian disaster in Gaza and an impending diplomatic collapse on the global stage.”

Even the administration of US President Donald Trump, a key ally of Israel, has urged Netanyahu to act, criticizing his delays in decision-making.

Global Leaders Demand Unhindered Access

French President Emmanuel Macron on Friday advocated for complete humanitarian access to Gaza, stating that airdrops alone are insufficient. “Israel must allow full humanitarian access to address the risk of famine,” he posted on X.

Scotland’s First Minister John Swinney also called for an immediate ceasefire and urged Israel to remove obstacles to aid delivery. German Foreign Minister Johann Wadephul stressed the importance of land routes, stating that airdrops are not a substitute for truck deliveries. “We are urgently calling on the Israeli government to allow the UN and international aid organizations safe access and, above all, safe distribution,” he remarked.

The German government is reportedly considering concrete measures to increase pressure on Israel regarding the dire humanitarian situation. Meanwhile, approximately 50 Belgian organizations have penned an open letter urging political leaders to take immediate action, condemning the “televised genocide” in Gaza.

UNRWA Chief Criticizes Airdrop Inefficiency

Philippe Lazzarini, head of the UN Agency for Palestinian Refugees (UNRWA), criticized the reliance on airdrops as “inefficient, insufficient, and at least 100 times more costly than trucks.” He questioned the prioritization of air deliveries while land crossings remain largely closed. “If there is political will to allow airdrops… there should be similar political will to open the road crossings,” Lazzarini stated, emphasizing that “the only way to respond to the famine is to flood Gaza with assistance.”

Palestinians in Gaza face dire conditions, with over 100 children reportedly dying from starvation and malnutrition since October 2023 due to the Israeli blockade.

‘It’s a Killing Field’: Israeli Soldiers Admit to Firing on Hungry Civilians in Gaza

Israeli Soldiers Ordered to Fire on Gazans Seeking Aid

A recent investigation details how Israeli forces allegedly targeted unarmed Palestinians attempting to access humanitarian aid, turning distribution zones into killing fields. This occurred amid a severe humanitarian crisis, raising serious concerns about the treatment of civilians in conflict zones.

Military Conduct Under Scrutiny

According to an exposé, Israeli soldiers admitted to opening fire on civilians at food distribution sites within Gaza. Interviews with military personnel reveal a pattern of live ammunition use against individuals seeking aid. One soldier described the area as a “killing field,” emphasizing the routine nature of the violence.

“Where I was stationed, between one and five people were killed every day. They’re treated like a hostile force – no crowd-control measures, no tear gas – just live fire with everything imaginable: heavy machine guns, grenade launchers, mortars.”

—Unidentified Soldier

A UN report indicates that over 1.7 million people in Gaza are facing severe levels of food insecurity (UN OCHA, 2025), highlighting the desperation driving civilians to aid distribution points.

Orders to Shoot

Soldiers reportedly received orders to fire on Palestinians approaching aid sites, even when no apparent threat existed. This practice, referred to as “Operation Salted Fish” by some soldiers, involved firing warning shots or direct fire, often resulting in casualties. These actions have resulted in a pattern of fire and ceasefires around aid centers, creating a deadly environment.

Leadership and Responsibility

The investigation highlights the role of key figures, including Brigadier General Yehuda Vach, who allegedly ordered the direct firing on Palestinians. Testimonies suggest that this practice has become normalized within the ranks, with officers and soldiers seemingly accepting the policy without question. Contractors are also implicated, with financial incentives potentially fueling the violence.

These revelations paint a picture of systemic dehumanization and raise urgent questions about accountability. The Israeli army’s response has been to deny claims and shift blame. However, testimonies from soldiers reveal a disturbing reality.
