It was clear from the start and all the way: a reminder of some Israel statements of intent 🧵
1. "Gaza won’t return to what it was before. We will eliminate everything." Yoav Gallant, 10 October 2023.
2. "we will not allow humanitarian assistance in the form of food and medicines from our territory to the Gaza Strip." PM Netanyahu, 18 October 2023 gov.il/en/pages/pm-ne…
3. "We shall pulverize every accursed plot of land from which it came, we shall destroy it and the memory of it." Brigadier General David Bar Kalifa, 29 October 2023.
4. Commanders and soldiers, November and December 2023: fallow land, scorched earth, no uninvolved civilians, wipe off the seed of amalek.
5. "There are no half measures. Rafah, Deir al-Balah, Nuseirat – total annihilation. 'You will blot out the remembrance of Amalek from under heaven' – there's no place under heaven." Bezalel Smotrich, 29 April 2024.
6. "Israel's policy is clear: no humanitarian aid will enter Gaza, and blocking this aid is one of the main pressure levers preventing Hamas from using it as a tool with the population." Israel Katz, April 2025
7. "Gaza will be entirely destroyed... We are conquering, cleansing, and remaining in Gaza until Hamas is destroyed." Smotrich, May 2025.
8. Israel Katz 7 July 2025
9. How is it going:
"With this latest order, the area under displacement orders or within militarized zones has risen to 87.8%, leaving 2.1 million civilians squeezed into a fragmented 12% of Strip, where essential services have collapsed" @ochaopt ochaopt.org/content/gaza-o…
10. "The new order cuts through Deir al Balah all the way to the Med. Sea, further splintering the Strip. It will limit the ability of the UN & our partners to move safely and effectively within Gaza, choking humanitarian access when it is needed most."
