🧵#Israel is exploiting the international community’s focus on the war it and the United States have launched on #Iran to tighten the siege on the #Gaza Strip and continue using starvation to deepen the humanitarian catastrophe and perpetuate genocide ⤵️
On 28 February, Israel closed all crossings with the Gaza Strip, suspended the entry of aid, fuel, and goods, and halted coordination of humanitarian missions in areas where Israeli forces remain deployed or nearby
Additionally, on 3 March, Israeli authorities reopened the Kerem Shalom crossing for limited quantities of fuel and aid shipments arriving via Egypt and Israel, while aid transfers from the West Bank and Jordan remained suspended until 5 March
Since the reopening of Kerem Shalom, Israeli authorities have allowed only a few dozen trucks to enter Gaza through the end of last week, still falling short by about 30 trucks per day compared to the daily average permitted before the war with Iran
Israel continues to violate the ceasefire agreement, particularly regarding the entry of goods and aid. The agreement stipulates the entry of approx. 600 trucks/day. However, Euro-Med Monitor has verified that the number entering doesn't exceed 41% of the agreed total
The most significant breach of the agreement concerns fuel, with only 14.8% of the agreed quantity allowed to enter, resulting in the severe disruption of vital sectors, including hospitals, water and sanitation networks, relief services, and transportation
A total of 37,369 trucks have entered Gaza since the ceasefire on 11 October 2025. Of these, 20,926 were humanitarian aid, representing 56%; 15,312 were commercial, representing 41%; and 1,131 were fuel, representing 3%, reflecting a serious failure to meet agreed commitment
Israeli authorities present misleading figures regarding the volume of aid entering Gaza and refuse to subject entry procedures to independent international monitoring, hindering verification and accountability and worsening the humanitarian supply crisis
The closure of the Rafah crossing since the the war with Iran, despite only 1,934 travellers having crossed in both directions during its previous opening out of 6,600 expected travellers, reflects a compliance rate of 29.3% and indicates a deliberate restriction on arrivals
The continuation of Israeli policies exacerbates food insecurity and threatens a return to famine amid widespread infrastructure destruction, the collapse of local food production, and the disruption of essential services, including water, sanitation, healthcare, and transport
The international community must take immediate and effective action, including imposing sanctions on Israel, lifting the siege on Gaza, and ensuring the immediate and unrestricted entry of humanitarian aid, fuel, and commercial goods in line with actual needs

🧵Blindfolding, handcuffing, beatings, and interrogations… after being forcibly displaced for nearly two years, Israeli forces and affiliated militias are abusing Palestinians returning to the Gaza Strip following the partial reopening of the Rafah crossing.
Euro-Med Monitor met with some of the returnees, who shared the following testimonies ⬇️
🧵#Thread | During their latest meeting, US President Donald Trump and Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu announced plans to develop a “green city” in Rafah, southern #Gaza. The project aims to restrict Palestinians to about half of the Gaza Strip, effectively creating a ghetto where residents would be forcibly displaced from their homes and forced to live in caravans ⤵️
The plan entails grave risks, including the imposition of arrangements that would, in effect, forcibly displace Palestinians from their original places of residence and convert large areas of the Gaza Strip into closed military zones under the direct control of the Israeli army
It represents yet another model of failure in addressing the consequences of the ongoing genocide committed by Israel in the Gaza Strip and advances unrealistic proposals aimed at demographic reengineering and imposing a new reality grounded in control and humiliation
🧵In #Gaza, residents wake up to find a yellow block in their neighbourhood. Once they see it, they grab what they can and flee, knowing their homes will be demolished and that they will never be able to return.
This is how Israel continues to forcibly displace Palestinians in the Strip, even after the ceasefire agreement⤵️
🧵The Israeli army’s extrajudicial killing of two unarmed Palestinians in Jenin in the occupied West Bank, who posed no threat, is part of a continuing pattern of deliberate extrajudicial killings across the occupied Palestinian territory ⤵️
Israeli forces have killed dozens of Palestinians in the West Bank over the past 2 years through extrajudicial killings carried out after the victims were captured or detained. Data from Gaza indicate that ~ 9% of all victims during the genocide were killed in the same manner
On 27 November, an Israeli special forces unit unlawfully raided a house in Jabal Abu Dhahir, Jenin and assaulted a man. During the raid, two men emerged to surrender, unarmed and with their hands raised. Soldiers forced them back inside and shot them at point-blank range
🧵The Israeli Knesset’s approval of a bill to impose the death penalty on Palestinian detainees and prisoners constitutes a dangerous escalation that further entrenches Israel’s apartheid system⤵️
The Knesset’s National Security Committee approved the bill on 3 November ahead of the first reading on 10 November. It now proceeds to second and third readings before becoming law. The bill was introduced by the Otzma Yehudit (Jewish Power) party, led by Itamar Ben Gvir
The bill stipulates that “any person who intentionally or recklessly causes the death of an Israeli citizen or a person residing in Israel, when motivated by racism, hatred, or intent to harm Israel or the Israeli people, shall be subject to the death penalty.”
🧵In an Israeli cabinet discussion on enforcing the “Yellow Line” in #Gaza, senior officials debated whether to shoot a child or a donkey first.
The rhetoric, though appalling, reflects a broader pattern in Israeli official language that dehumanises Palestinians, fuels violence, and gives the Israeli military a green light to kill, a reality seen in the deaths of around 67,000 Palestinians in Gaza, over 90% of them civilians.
