Although US President Joe Biden expressed his hopes for an imminent ceasefire between Israel and Gaza, many in the Gaza Strip could not think beyond eating breakfast.

Journalist Aseel Musa (26 years old) said: “Before the war, we used to buy bread, and now we make it.”

The BBC spent a day following the lives of people in Gaza, as they roamed markets in search of food, worked in crowded hospitals and tried to entertain their children.

There were periods when we were unable to communicate with Gaza on any means of communication, as messages remained on hold through the WhatsApp application and phone calls were transferred to voice mail.

This is a day in the life of Gaza:

5:00 a.m. in Rafah: Sami Abu Omar (59 years old) wakes up early after a “difficult night.”

Describing the sound of the bombing, he says: “Anyone in this situation should get used to sleeping for only an hour to an hour and a half.”

After leaving his tent, he prays and then heads to the distribution center, where he will provide lentil soup to displaced families.

7:00 AM in downtown Deir al-Balah: Nurse Roya Mohsen changes the diapers of her two young daughters. One of them was born two days before the war.

She says that every day repeats the same routine: trying to survive and take care of her children. After changing diapers, she prepares breakfast.

9:00 a.m. Elsewhere in Deir al-Balah: Medical student and volunteer doctor Nagham Mazid (22 years old) takes a photo while eating breakfast.

She used to eat at 6:00 a.m., but recently began postponing eating in an attempt to stave off hunger later in the day. She had a manoushe with cheese, pepper and olive oil.

Health authorities in Gaza said that 118 people were killed by Israeli fire on Thursday as they sought food aid, describing the incident as a massacre.
Israel disputed these numbers, saying that most of the victims were run over, and confirmed that soldiers opened fire when they felt threatened.
On Saturday, the Israeli army pledged to conduct a “comprehensive and credible investigation” into the incident.
The incident sparked a wave of global anger, and a day later, US President Joe Biden announced plans to airdrop American aid, in which Jordanian forces also participated.

But sources reported that the areas where the army is asking residents to go are also being bombed.

According to a video clip obtained by Sky News Arabia, the army is asking residents to go to Martyr Street to the west, or to the humanitarian zone, or to Deir al-Balah.


Residents of the area stated that they were surprised by the rapid advance of Israeli tanks, which led to renewed battles

The Ministry of Health in the Gaza Strip announced on Sunday that the Zionist occupation bombed Palestinians while they were waiting for humanitarian aid to arrive near the Kuwait Roundabout area, south of Gaza City, leaving dozens martyred and wounded.

Ministry spokesman Ashraf Al-Qudra said in a statement: The occupation forces committed a horrific massacre at the Kuwait Roundabout in Gaza, which claimed the lives of dozens of martyrs and wounded.


Al-Qudra stressed that the Zionist occupation forces are carrying out systematic genocidal crimes targeting hundreds of thousands of hungry stomachs in northern Gaza.


The Ministry of Health announced in its daily statistical report on Sunday that the death toll from the ongoing Zionist aggression on Gaza for about 5 months had risen to 30,410 martyrs and 71,700 injured, coinciding with 149 days since the start of the Zionist war of genocide.

The Euro-Mediterranean Human Rights Observatory documented incidents in which the occupation army killed Palestinian civilians, deliberately running them over alive under the tracks of Zionist tanks, and destroying civilian property as part of the crime of genocide in the Gaza Strip, which has been ongoing since October 7th.

According to the Observatory, the occupation army killed a young Palestinian man who was deliberately run over in the “Zaytoun” neighborhood in Gaza City on February 29, and collected eyewitness accounts stating that the occupation army arrested the victim, tied his hands with plastic handcuffs, and subjected him to interrogation before running him over with an armored vehicle. It is clear that the run-over was carried out by The lower and then the upper half of his body.


The Observatory said that the incident took place on the main “Salah al-Din” Street in the Zaytoun neighborhood, and was preceded by Zionist soldiers tying the young man with plastic restraints and then trampling his body from the legs up, which indicates that the victim was alive while he was crushed, and the victim was placed on the asphalt. Instead of the surrounding sand to ensure complete and complete crushing, he was stripped of his clothes, as confirmed by the condition of the entrails and body parts that had not yet decomposed when the case was documented.

He added: Euro-Med had previously learned of a similar incident in which a Zionist tank ran over a temporary shelter caravan in the “Tayba Towers” ​​area in the city of Khan Yunis, south of the Gaza Strip, on January 23, in which members of the “Ghannam” family were staying while they were sleeping, which led to the death of a person and his eldest daughter. His remaining three children and wife were injured.


On December 16, 2023, the Observatory explained that it documented Zionist tanks and bulldozers running over and crushing displaced people inside their tents in the yard of Kamal Adwan Hospital, in Beit Lahia, which led to the death of a number of them, including the wounded, in addition to crushing the bodies of dead people who were buried in graves in Side of the square.

On February 20, the occupation tried to run over a tent in which a family was staying on the beach of Khan Yunis, during a surprise operation.

Euro-Med also documented repeated cases of the military vehicles of the Zionist occupation army destroying civilian property, especially vehicles, during its ground incursions into various areas of the Gaza Strip, where tanks proceeded to destroy and grind vehicles in the streets without any military necessity, which reflects the intention of the Zionist occupation army to destroy Palestinian property.


In this context, the Observatory expressed its deep concern about the performance of the Office of the Prosecutor of the International Criminal Court regarding what is happening in the Gaza Strip, one of the most serious international crimes with devastating consequences for civilians, as the court has not yet issued any action and has not brought any charges in the course of its investigations. Which is supposed to

e French media is covering it.

In all wars and conflicts in the world, safe areas are provided for displaced populations, and there is an international aid programme, observers and international organizations examining matters. Except in Gaza, the collapse of international humanitarian law is unprecedented, because what the occupying entity is practicing It is a genocide of a people and nothing more.

When the managing editor of C News in the French Parliament was asked, in the context of the investigation committee, about the number of deaths in Gaza, he replied that he “does not know the number,” this is not due to a lack of information, but rather an approved policy to cover up the massacres committed by the occupation army 5 years ago. Months against Palestinian women and children.

Therefore, the correspondent of this channel described the massacre, which claimed the lives of more than 100 people in the Nabulsi neighborhood in Gaza, as an “accident” with all professional impudence. She could have said that it was a traffic accident, because the unprofessionalism of this channel and other French channels no longer needs proof.

This is not a new thing. Indeed, French channels have previously cast doubt on the numbers of Palestinian casualties and wounded, under the pretext that they are numbers created by the Hamas movement, to the extent that former Charlie Hebdo journalist Caroline Forrest, who was assigned to go through all the channels, said that “the number announced before... Hamas is not correct and must be divided by 10 (i.e. from 30,000 to only 3,000), before the Pentagon announces that the number of victims of Palestinian women and children has reached 25,000 without mentioning men, which is a number greater than what Hamas announced, so who is the one practicing the media blackout? And he seeks to cover up this genocide?

It is true that the French audiovisual monitoring body, “Arcom”, has intervened to monitor the “C News” channel, regarding the lack of respect for pluralism of opinion and the failure to investigate the credibility of its information, but how many complaints have been filed against the French channels due to their blatant bias? For the Israeli narrative and the exercise of censorship and obfuscation on the Palestinian side? The “Arcom” body did not reveal the total number of complaints submitted against the French audiovisual channels, especially against “C News, LCA, BFM TV...”, due to their unprofessionalism and practices. Media misinformation, but it was enough for representatives of the “Proud France” party to demand a parliamentary investigation into the influence of the “financial lobby” on the editorial line of the French media.

The French media blackout on the Palestinian issue increased more and more, to the point that French channels, including public ones, no longer talked about the war in Gaza in their daily news bulletins, similar to what “TF1” and “France 2” did in more than 46 hours of broadcasting. Especially since the issuance of the decision of the International Court of Justice that spoke of the genocide in Gaza, which means that the financial lobby controlling the media provides the media cover to carry out this genocide, and it is enough to know how the French media dealt with the massacre committed in the Nabulsi neighborhood in Gaza, which went viral. Its victims were more than 112 martyrs and 700 wounded. It merely repeated the Israeli narrative with extreme emphasis to the point that the C News journalist described it as just an “accident” and not a massacre.

The President of the Islamic Republic of Iran, Ebrahim Raisi, said that the UN Security Council has become unable to establish a ceasefire in Gaza.
During his speech at the Gas Exporting Countries Forum at its seventh summit, the Iranian President explained that the reason for his inability is due to America’s absolute support for “Israel.”

Ibrahim Raisi stressed that America has employed all its energies to provide support for organized terrorism represented by the Zionist entity. Pointing out that Palestine today is an indicator of humanity, morals and conscience in human society.

The Iranian President said, if the United States and the European Union seriously want to stop the war in the Gaza Strip, they must stop supporting the Zionist entity.

The Iranian President also called for the need to expel Israel from the United Nations and for countries to stop all forms of dealing with it.

Today, Tuesday, the Islamic Resistance Movement “Hamas” condemned in the strongest terms the administration of US President Joe Biden’s use of a veto against the Algerian draft resolution in the Security Council.


Which demands an immediate ceasefire for humanitarian reasons and the rejection of forced displacement.

Hamas added, in its statement, that it considers the failure of this resolution to be a disruption of international will in service of the Nazi occupation’s agenda aimed at killing and displacing the Palestinian people.

The movement also held President Joe Biden and his administration directly responsible for obstructing the issuance of a decision to stop the aggression against Gaza, considering the American position a green light for the occupation to commit more massacres and kill the defenseless Palestinian people by bombing and starvation.

And a direct partnership in the war of genocide committed against children and defenseless civilians in the Gaza Strip.

Le Mouvement de résistance islamique « Hamas » a salué la déclaration finale publiée par le 37e sommet de l'Union africaine tenu dans la capitale éthiopienne, Addis-Abeba, appelant à la fin de l'agression contre Gaza.

La déclaration finale appelle à la fin de l'agression contre Gaza, à la politique de punition collective et au crime de génocide, et à la levée du siège. Et le respect des décisions de la Cour internationale de Justice concernant la bande de Gaza.

Le mouvement a exprimé l'espoir que cette déclaration se traduirait par des mesures pratiques de la part de tous les pays africains amis. D'une manière qui contribue à mettre fin à l'agression et à la guerre d'extermination contre le peuple palestinien dans la bande de Gaza.

Il appelle également à rompre tous les liens avec l’entité criminelle sioniste et à soutenir la lutte du peuple palestinien jusqu’à ce qu’il obtienne ses droits nationaux légitimes. La principale d’entre elles est la création d’un État palestinien avec Jérusalem pour capitale.

L'Office de secours et de travaux des Nations Unies pour les réfugiés de Palestine (UNRWA) a accusé Israël d'avoir torturé un certain nombre de ses employés qu'il avait arrêtés dans la bande de Gaza, dans le contexte de la guerre qu'Israël mène dans la bande depuis le 7 octobre.

L'agence a déclaré - dans un communiqué - que ses employés "ont parlé d'événements horribles lors de leur arrestation et de leur interrogatoire par les autorités israéliennes. Ces rapports incluent des actes de torture, de graves mauvais traitements, des agressions et de l'exploitation sexuelle".

Elle a ajouté qu'"un certain nombre de nos employés ont informé les équipes de l'UNRWA qu'ils avaient été forcés de faire des aveux sous la torture et de mauvais traitements", lors de leur interrogatoire sur l'attaque du Hamas contre Israël le 7 octobre.

Elle a souligné que « ces aveux forcés suite à la torture sont utilisés par les autorités israéliennes pour diffuser davantage d'informations trompeuses sur l'agence dans le cadre de leurs tentatives de démanteler l'UNRWA », avertissant que « cela met en danger nos employés à Gaza et a conséquences dangereuses pour nos opérations à Gaza et dans la région. »

L'UNRWA a indiqué qu'il avait déposé une protestation écrite auprès d'Israël concernant l'arrestation de ses employés, sans recevoir de réponse.

CNN a déclaré avoir obtenu une copie d'un rapport non publié préparé par l'UNRWA, dans lequel elle déclarait qu'Israël commettait des violations physiques et psychologiques généralisées contre les Palestiniens détenus à Gaza pendant la guerre.

Accusations israéliennes
: D'autre part, un porte-parole de l'armée israélienne a déclaré que l'Office de secours et de travaux des Nations Unies pour les réfugiés palestiniens (UNRWA) à Gaza avait employé plus de 450 militants du Mouvement de résistance islamique palestinien (Hamas) et d'autres groupes armés, et qu'Israël avait envoyé ces informations de renseignement aux Nations Unies.

Il a ajouté : "Nous avons envoyé ces informations, que j'annonce maintenant, ainsi que d'autres informations de renseignement, à nos partenaires internationaux, y compris les Nations Unies".

En réponse, l'UNRWA a déclaré qu'il accueille favorablement toutes les informations pouvant être incluses dans l'enquête indépendante actuellement menée par les Nations Unies.

La philosophe juive américaine Judith Butler a décrit le Mouvement de résistance islamique (Hamas) comme un acte de résistance armée contre l’oppression que subissent les Palestiniens depuis des décennies.

Butler a expliqué : « Nous pouvons avoir différents points de vue sur le mouvement Hamas en tant que parti politique, ou sur la résistance armée, mais je crois que le plus véridique et historiquement exact est que les événements du 7 octobre (en référence à l'opération d'inondation d'Al-Aqsa) lancée par la résistance palestinienne, dirigée par le mouvement Hamas) sont un acte. » « Une résistance armée, pas une attaque terroriste ou antisémite. »

Alors que la philosophe américaine a confirmé que l'attaque contre les Israéliens a été « douloureuse » pour elle, elle a déclaré : « Je serais stupide si je décidais que la seule violence dans la scène est la violence contre les Israéliens... la violence contre les Palestiniens continue. depuis des décennie

Butler a ajouté : « Ce qui s'est passé était un soulèvement découlant d'un état d'oppression et contre l'état de violence à leur encontre. »

Elle a poursuivi : « Soyons clairs, cela pourrait être pour ou contre la résistance armée... avec ou contre le Hamas. ... mais appelons-le au moins résistance armée, et nous discuterons ensuite : faites-vous les choses correctement, les faites-vous de la bonne manière, ou devriez-vous changer de stratégie ?

La philosophe Judith Butler est l'une des dirigeantes les plus éminentes de théorie critique contemporaine. Elle est une juive américaine d'origine russo-hongroise, née le 24 février 1956 à Cleveland, Ohio.

Publicité

En décembre dernier, le penseur américain Norman Finkelstein - auteur du livre « The Holocaust Industry » - a déclaré que la L'administration du président américain Joe Biden encourage la reprise des opérations militaires à Gaza, même si elle peut arrêter la guerre contre Gaza avec un seul appel téléphonique, soulignant en même temps qu'Israël sait qu'il ne parviendra pas à démanteler le Hamas

American Jewish philosopher Judith Butler described the Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas) as an act of armed resistance against the oppression that Palestinians have been experiencing for decades.

Butler explained, “We can have different views about the Hamas movement as a political party, or about the armed resistance, but I believe that the most truthful and historically accurate is that the events of October 7 (referring to the Al-Aqsa Flood operation launched by the Palestinian resistance, led by the Hamas movement) are an act.” "Armed resistance, not a terrorist or anti-Semitic attack."

While the American philosopher confirmed that the attack against the Israelis was “painful” for her, she said, “I would be stupid if I decided that the only violence in the scene is violence against Israelis... violence against Palestinians has been going on for decades.”

The grand opening of the first branch of the fast food chain Shake Shack in Israel sparked backlash, as it comes on the same day that the Palestinian Ministry of Health announced that 18 people have died from malnutrition in the Gaza Strip since the beginning of the war.

The Shake Shack branch opened in Tel Aviv on the 5th of this month, with people queuing up to buy burgers. But it sparked calls for an international boycott, with people pointing out the irony that the opening comes at a time when several aid organizations have raised concerns about the risk of famine in Gaza, as a result of Israeli measures.

Since the beginning of the Israeli aggression on the Gaza Strip on October 7, Israel has cut off all supplies of fuel, food, electricity, water, and aid to Gaza, leaving about 2.4 million people suffering from hunger, dehydration, and loss of health care.

According to the Israeli newspaper Haaretz, the Shake Shack restaurant, which opened on Dizengoff Street in Tel Aviv, saw groups of people lining up to get their orders.

Haaretz also reported that since the beginning of the war, Shake Shack had "remained almost completely silent about its expansion plans in Israel, and nothing was published on any of its social media platforms after the original announcement."

She added that the opening process remained “deliberately modest,” and that the Israeli company’s leadership declined repeated requests for an interview.

Online, many social media users denounced the opening.

Commenting on the opening of a branch of the Shake Shack restaurant, one of the commentators on a social networking site said, “The Shake Shack restaurant was opened in Israel during the time of genocide. Close its branches in the Arab world!”

Another said: “If you are in Kuwait, try the amazing Kuwaiti burger restaurant “Fat Cap” and you will thank me later.”

Others responded to the ad by saying they would "never come back again," while another sarcastically said, "Shake Shack burgers are mixed with the blood of starving Gaza children."

Boycott campaigns:
Many citizens of Islamic and Arab countries embarked on boycott campaigns for products that support the Israeli occupation or those that carry the nationality of the countries supporting it in response to the war on the Gaza Strip.
Since October 7, many consumers in these countries have been boycotting American products because of their support for Israel, and among those companies is Starbucks, which recently announced the elimination of 2,000 jobs in the Middle East.

One source stated that the boycott campaigns led to difficulties in the working conditions of many companies that support the occupation.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's office said in a statement on Tuesday that Israel will allow worshipers to enter Al-Aqsa Mosque during the first week of Ramadan, with a number similar to what was the case in previous years, without giving a specific number.

As the war intensifies in Gaza, Israel said it may reduce the number of worshipers allowed to enter the mosque during the month of Ramadan for security considerations.

Many Palestinians reject any such restrictions.


Israel took control of Al-Aqsa Mosque in the 1967 war and illegally annexed it to the rest of East Jerusalem, which the Palestinians want as the capital of their independent state.

Skirmishes erupted in recent years due to the Israeli police’s raid on the Temple Mount, the visit of Jewish officials to it, and the restrictions imposed on the entry of Palestinians, especially during holidays, including the month of Ramadan, which is expected to begin this year on March 10.

The office added that the agreement was reached today, Tuesday, during a meeting with senior Israeli security officials to discuss the necessary preparations before the month of Ramadan.

The dream of a lifetime has passed.. A Palestinian woman gives birth to twins and an Israeli raid kills them
l March 3, 2024 - 21:52 Abu Dhabi time
An Israeli raid on Rania Abu Anza’s family home put an end to a long-awaited dream, as it took 10 years and three rounds of artificial insemination for her to become pregnant, and in just moments She lost her two sons (a boy and a girl), who were 5 months old.

An Israeli raid targeted Rania Abu Anza's family home in the city of Rafah, south of the Gaza Strip, late Saturday, killing her two children, her husband, and 11 other relatives, and leaving 9 others missing under the rubble, according to survivors and local health officials.

The Associated Press quoted Rania as saying that she had woken up at ten to breastfeed her son Naeem, then went back to sleep with him on one arm and her daughter Wissam on the other arm, while her husband was sleeping next to them.


The explosion occurred an hour and a half later, causing the house to collapse.

On Saturday, she said, as she sobbed and hugged the baby blanket to her chest: “I screamed for my children and my husband (...) They were all dead. Their father took them and left me.”

She closed her eyes, leaned her head against the wall, and patted his chest in an attempt to calm down.

Israeli air strikes have routinely targeted crowded family homes since the beginning of the war in Gaza, even in Rafah, which Israel declared a Menna area in October, but which has now become the next target of its devastating ground offensive.

Israel says it is trying to avoid harming civilians and blames the deaths on Hamas, which it claims has deployed fighters, tunnels and rocket launchers in densely populated residential areas. But the army rarely comments on individual raids that often kill women and children.

The army did not immediately comment on this raid.

14 dead in the house
Of the 14 dead in Abu Anza’s house, there were 6 children and 4 women, according to Dr. Marwan Al-Hams, director of the hospital to which the bodies were taken.

Besides her husband and two children, Rania also lost her sister, her cousin, her pregnant cousin, and other relatives.

Farouk Abu Anza, one of her relatives, said that approximately 35 people were residing in the house, some of whom were displaced from other areas.

He added that they are all civilians, most of them children, and that there are no armed men among them.
