( Middle East Monitor ) – The UN has been stating that nowhere is safe in Gaza. Palestinians have been crying out the same, prior to the useless official statements.

Gaza: Weaponizing Aid beyond Starvation
( Middle East Monitor) – Israel’s raid on the Nuseirat refugee camp killed 274 Palestinians and wounded 700 more in order to free four healthy-looking Israeli hostages. The discrepancy was stark.

After 200 Days of Carnage, US and UN suddenly Shocked at Israeli Mass Graves for Palestinians in Gaza
( Middle East Monitor ) – Israel turned Gaza’s hospitals into execution fields and the international community only called for humanitarian pauses.

Jared Kushner’s Shameful Remarks on Gaza: “I would do my best to move the people out”
( Middle East Monitor ) – “It’s unfortunate that no one’s taking in the refugees,” lamented former White House advisor during the Trump administration Jared Kushner.
