▪️The Israeli occupation army’s control of the Netzarim axis and Rashid Street, preventing return to Gaza City, is a dangerous step.
▪️This Israeli move aims to fragment the territorial integrity of the Gaza Strip by isolating Gaza City and the northern Gaza Strip and transforming them into besieged areas, imposing coercive conditions on civilians that make their survival impossible and effectively lead to their forced displacement.
▪️Israel is working to displace everyone in Gaza City by depriving them of food, medicine, and fuel, cutting off humanitarian supplies, and deepening the policy of systematic starvation.
▪️The statement by Israeli Defense Minister Yisrael Katz that anyone remaining in Gaza City will be classified as a combatant or supporter of “terrorism” poses a direct threat to defenseless civilians and reveals a declared policy of forced displacement, starvation, and collective punishment.
▪️Preventing Palestinians from returning to Gaza has disastrous consequences and entrenches a systematic policy of siege and starvation affecting more than 300,000 people still trapped inside the city.
▪️This Israeli move means completely depriving these people of food and medicine supplies, placing civilians at risk of famine and a comprehensive health collapse, exacerbating their suffering by separating families.
▪️Closing the Netzarim junction and Al-Rasheed Street effectively strangles the remaining partially functioning hospitals in Gaza City by depriving them of necessary medical supplies and personnel.
