"As Israel's genocide in Gaza drags into its third year, more than two million Palestinians have been hemmed in by a military border. In "East Gaza," as the Israeli Defense Forces-controlled zone east of the border has become known, more than two million Palestinians live surrounded by rubble, decaying corpses, and unexploded munitions, as they struggle to survive in makeshift shelters without adequate access to food, clean water, sewage, or protection against the harsh winter weather."
"And yet, at the United Nations Security Council meeting on November 17, not a single country stood up to oppose President Donald Trump's proposed "peace plan" in Gaza - which would establish a transitional international governance body for Gaza. Should this plan come to pass, it's all too likely that Israel and the United States will not be held accountable in the near term for their war crimes and ethnic cleansing in Gaza."
"But as conditions in Gaza have continued to deteriorate amid Israel's violent siege, comparatively little international attention has been paid to conditions facing Palestinians in the occupied West Bank, where human rights groups are calling on the Israeli military to cease their attacks on Palestinian neighborhoods and refugee camps. As recently as last week, the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) raided homes in the governorate of Tubas after expelling more than twenty families from the besieged Al Far'a refugee camp."
More than two million Palestinians in East Gaza live confined by an IDF-controlled military border amid rubble, decaying corpses, unexploded munitions, and inadequate shelter, food, clean water, sewage, and protection from winter. A proposed U.S. "peace plan" would create a transitional international governance body for Gaza, likely delaying accountability for alleged Israeli and U.S. war crimes and ethnic cleansing. International attention to the occupied West Bank remains limited while the IDF raids homes, expels families from Al Far'a refugee camp, and settler violence escalates against Bedouin communities and villagers grazing flocks. U.S. sanctions on ICC judges have not halted settler impunity.
