Israeli air attacks in the Gaza Strip have killed 250 people in the last 36 hours, which takes the number of official deaths to more than 53,000, according to local health officials, while President Donald Trump travels through the Middle East with few comments on the intensifier War of Israel in the enclave.
The United States would no longer give “conferences on how to live” in the Middle East, Trump said, since he focused on American glory speeches, luxury planes and handshakes with billionaires.
Trump concluded his four -day tour of the region on Friday, which included stops in the United Arab Emirates, Qatar and Saudi Arabia, but not to Israel, to do attention on the negotiations of Alto El Fuego or the lifting of the total blockade of Israel to help the help of Gaza. United Nations officials have accused Israel to use the “hunger for a negotiation chip.”
Since March 2, Israel blocked the entry of all humanitarian aid, medicine or commercial goods in Gaza, which according to Israeli officials intends to press Hamas to free the remaining hostages.
The aerial offensive is increasing the fear of another land invasion, after Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said earlier this month that he would order the military to increase their operations and confiscate the entire strip.
One of those Israeli missiles landed in the house of Ibrahim Al-Banna, 11, in southern Gaza on Thursday night. Al-Banna’s uncle, Abd Al-Banna, arrived at Nasser hospital in Khan Younis, carrying her body wrapped in a green blanket. The child’s mother began to cry, watching her son’s lifeless body on a stretcher, a NBC news team witnessed.
“My love, my abdu … You are my heart … I hope it was me instead of you,” he said, crying and hugging his son.
When his family lowered his body wrapped in a tomb, his uncle leaned towards him and said: “When you know God, tell Gaza alone, without food, without water, without hope.”
In addition to decreasing widely to discuss human rights problems with officials from the Middle East, as did the previous US leaders, Trump’s public statements over Gaza have limited themselves to saying that he wanted to make Gaza a “freedom zone.” He did not elaborate the details of such a proposal, but said Friday: “We are looking at Gaza. And we are going to take care of that. Many people are starving.”
The intensified attacks of Israel in Gaza were matched with violence in progress in occupied West Bank, where Israeli forces have increased their raids and the violence of the settlers has shot.
The Israeli army killed five members of the Islamic Palestinian militant group Jihad on Thursday, the group’s military wing said after the Israeli forces surrounded their homes in a city of the West Bank, after an armed man opened fire against a vehicle that took Tzela Gez, an Israeli woman of 30 years pregnant who was being taken to the hospital. Gez died while giving birth, although his baby survived.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said he was “deeply surprised by the horrible attack.” Hamas praised him as “heroic.”
Palestinian health officials say that more than 53,000 people have been killed in Gaza since October 7, 2023, when the terrorist attacks led by Hamas against Israel killed about 1,200 people with approximately 250 hostages, according to Israeli officials.
