🚨 One year since the crime, and still no justice.

Israeli forces ambushed & executed 15 rescue workers, then buried them in a mass grave. A deliberate massacre. A war crime.

A Palestinian Red Crescent ambulance left Rafah’s al-Hashash neighbourhood to evacuate the wounded.

It never made it back.

🧵#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

🧵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⤵️Image Image

🧵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. Image

⚠️ As Israel announced a series of measures to ease the humanitarian crisis in Gaza, facts on the ground show it was merely a new attempt to deceive global public opinion by promoting an alleged increase in aid and the opening of new access routes. But the reality is starkly different.

1⃣ Israel allowed only 73 aid trucks into Gaza today, along with three airdrops carrying the equivalent of just two trucks. All were forced to stop in red zones the Israeli army itself had ordered evacuated.
