Hell on Earth
• Gaza has become “hell on earth” with over 52,000 Palestinians killed in 19 months, mainly women and children.
• 2.3 million residents have been displaced multiple times, with tens of thousands wounded in a territory lacking basic medical facilities.
• Israel has imposed a renewed siege on Gaza, deepening the hunger crisis and threatening the survival of Palestinians.
• Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s government plans to launch an intensified ground offensive to capture and hold territory and control aid delivery.
• The offensive has already reduced much of northern Gaza and forced the displacement of over one million people.
• Despite the use of inhumane military tactics, Israel has faced little resistance from powerful nations.
• The Biden administration and President Trump have provided consistent military and diplomatic support throughout the war.
• The best opportunity for peace was the January 2025 ceasefire agreement, which required Israel’s withdrawal from Gaza and Hamas releasing the remaining hostages.
• If Netanyahu continues with his plans, it will deepen the moral and humanitarian crisis and deal a devastating blow to any attempt to end the conflict through talks.
