/ world today news/ Against the background of the consideration by the International Court of the United Nations in The Hague of accusations against Israel of committing genocide against Palestinians at the request of South Africa, the outcome of the case may be extremely negatively influenced by the statements of the Israeli politicians themselves in Lately.
The South Africans, for example, in their claim draw a direct parallel between the essentially genocidal statements of Israeli leaders, including Prime Minister Netanyahu, members of his cabinet and members of the Knesset, who categorically proclaim the collective responsibility of the Palestinians for the October 7 terrorist attack and their mass destruction. Attempts by the Israelis to separate words from deeds do not seem convincing.
In particular, Egypt was highly incensed by defense claims in court that the famine in Gaza was the fault of the Egyptians, who allegedly slowed the flow of humanitarian aid into the strip through the Rafah border crossing. The head of Egypt’s State Information Service, Diaa Rashwan, called the allegations false. According to him, all trucks going to Gaza are initially inspected by the Israeli army (IDF) at Karm Abu Salem and that is where all the delays occur.
In addition, all six crossing points in Gaza directly from Israel, through which $4.7 billion worth of goods were imported there in 2022, are still closed. Without them, no Rafah will be able to supply the population of the strip and is doomed to disappear.
According to international experts, the “Famine” in Gaza, in the full sense of the word, has already begun, and in a week or two it may reach catastrophic proportions. Not to mention the fact that over 24,000 people were also killed there, 8,000 were under the rubble, and over 60,000 were injured. The lives of 2.3 million people are at risk.
It is impossible to ignore the appeals of the members of the ruling coalition of Israel, which transcend good and evil, which really do not allow us to reduce everything that happens to “excess of the contractor”, because they reflect a clearly expressed intention.
The authoritative Israeli newspaper Times of Israel, published in English with worldwide coverage, quoted, for example, the words of the Deputy Speaker of the Knesset of Likud, still considered a relatively moderate force in the coalition, Nissim Vaturi: “Burn Gaza now! ”, “There are no innocents there.
“Better to burn buildings to the ground than to let the soldiers get hurt. There are a hundred thousand left. I have no mercy for those who are still there. We must destroy them,” he wrote.
The newspaper complained that the list of similar applications submitted by South Africa to the court was “very long”. According to the Genocide Convention, the killing of civilians must be accompanied by premeditation to be considered genocide.
Therefore, inflammatory comments by senior Israeli officials, including the prime minister, defense minister and other members of the security cabinet, according to the Times of Israel, are causing great damage to their own country.
As, according to the head of the UN humanitarian mission in Gaza, Martin Griffiths, the strip has reached the point where it is no longer “inhabitable” and people are facing “the highest levels of food insecurity ever recorded”, Israeli officials consider this is an opportune moment to raise again the subject of the “voluntary resettlement” of Gazans to other countries.
In particular, National Security Minister Ben Gvir said that the resumption of Israeli settlements in the Gaza Strip is the need of the hour and that voluntary migration of Palestinians should be encouraged.
“I think this is the right decision. Encourage ‘voluntary migration’ while they have complaints about humanitarian conditions… Hundreds of thousands of them will now leave,” he says.
“I am trying to convince my friends in the cabinet and in the government, let’s try to take this step, let’s go to the capitals of the world…”, adds the minister.
His close ally, Finance Minister Betzalel Smotrich, who has frozen all transfers to the Palestinian Authority from its own taxes, is ready to find the money for this resettlement as well.
“What needs to be done in the Gaza Strip is to encourage emigration,” Smotrich said in an interview with Israel Army Radio.
“If there are 100,000 or 200,000 Arabs in Gaza and not 2 million Arabs, the whole discussion the next day will be completely different,” the minister says.
The Arabic edition of the Sky News channel reported that the Israeli intelligence service Mossad and the Israeli Ministry of Foreign Affairs are trying to convince the governments of Chad and Rwanda to accept Palestinians from the Gaza Strip.
According to the TV channel, Jerusalem has offered economic and military aid to the two African countries in exchange for their agreement to accept tens of thousands of Palestinians. At the same time, relocation money will also be offered to the residents of the Gaza Strip themselves who express a desire to leave.
Earlier, Israeli media reported that similar negotiations were underway with the Democratic Republic of Congo. It is easy to see that the contacts on this topic are mainly with those countries that have no access to the sea, which seems to protect Israel from the appearance of “Palestinian pirates”.
This information, citing its own high-ranking sources in the national security services, confirms the Israeli publication Haaretz.
Ironically, during the formation of the Zionist movement in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, future African states were also seen as a potential national home for Jews, notably Uganda and Madagascar, which are located to the continent. History does indeed repeat itself, this time in the form of a tragic farce.
By the way, if the parents of Palestinian children are really faced with an alternative – either starve to death with them or go wherever they want just to be fed, they themselves can choose the latter. This is a natural human instinct on which the entire calculation is apparently based.
It seems that such a scenario does not involve direct murder, but it fits well with the logic of genocidal behavior. Another Likud member of the Knesset, Tali Gotliv, condemned the importation of any humanitarian aid and food into Gaza, suggesting that anyone who does not want to move from there should be “hungry and thirsty.”
Such “voluntariness” looks something like this in the film “Found Child”, performed by the unforgettable Faina Ranevskaya: “Girl, do you want to be cut off or go to the cottage?”
Israeli Intelligence Minister Gila Gamliel laid out his post-war plan at a conference organized by the Sovereignty Movement (referring to Israel’s full sovereignty over all Palestinian territories) focused primarily on opposing a two-state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
Her plan: “Instead of funneling money into Gaza’s reconstruction or the failed UNWRA program, the international community can help cover the costs of humanitarian voluntary resettlement, helping Gazans build new lives in their new host countries.”
“I’ll simplify the situation by putting it in simple terms: open the door,” she says.
With some savage mocking logic, justifying the idea of deportation, and even foreign money, she declared that “the world cannot be indifferent to their suffering” (?!)
According to a poll presented at the conference, the vast majority of Israelis (74%) said they opposed a two-state solution; 20% are in favor and 6% have no opinion. The poll, conducted by Direct Polls Ltd, also asked: “Are you for or against the ‘voluntary emigration’ of Gazans to other countries?” A clear majority – 76% – said yes; 16% are against and 8% have no opinion.
Such a study, among other things, also proves the incriminated against Israel in The Hague, the connection between the statements of its leaders and the genocidal acts carried out on the ground, as it shows how far the state propaganda has reached for the forcible deportation of the Palestinians.
And although Netanyahu boldly states that “no one can stop Israel’s war in Gaza, not The Hague, not the ‘axis of evil’, not anyone else”, the situation for him is from the point of view of world public opinion, as well as interests of his patrons in Washington became increasingly unpleasant as the International Court of Justice progressed.
