The concept of traditional warfare in the Palestinian context transcends the boundaries of direct military confrontation, transforming into a series of systematic political, economic, and psychological pressures. Despite the ethical and legal constraints imposed by international law, Zionist practices blatantly disregard the presumption of peace that should follow a cessation of hostilities, as violations have continued since the ceasefire declaration in October 2015.
Hebrew media sources have revealed alarming developments concerning the issue of Palestinian prisoners, with the Prison Service reportedly expediting procedures for implementing the death penalty. This move comes after a bill submitted by the extremist Itamar Ben-Gvir passed its first reading in the Knesset, indicating an official trend toward an unprecedented escalation in repressive measures.
The leaked plans include the establishment of a special complex and a secret facility within one of the prisons dedicated exclusively to carrying out executions. The occupation authorities are also working to train specialized personnel and draw on international expertise in this area, in a move aimed at legitimizing the killing of prisoners under a legal guise that completely contradicts the Geneva Conventions.
On the humanitarian front in the Gaza Strip, UNICEF has warned of a looming health catastrophe for future generations, with some 320,000 children under the age of five at risk of acute malnutrition. These figures reflect a tragic reality resulting from the starvation and blockade policies imposed by Netanyahu's government as a tool of its ongoing war.
The suffering was not limited to the physical realm; it extended to the mental health of a million Palestinian children who are now in dire need of urgent support as a result of successive traumas. These policies reflect a deep-seated hatred aimed at destroying the social and psychological fabric of Palestinian society in both Gaza and the West Bank.
Field statistics indicate that the Palestinian bloodshed has reached horrific figures, with over 73,000 martyrs and nearly 180,000 others wounded. Alarmingly, casualties continue even after ceasefire agreements, with 570 martyrs recorded in blatant violations of these agreements.
The past two years have witnessed the forced displacement of two million people within the Gaza Strip, amidst more than 1,630 violations of the ceasefire agreement by the occupying forces. Arrest campaigns have also targeted more than 18,700 Palestinians, turning the Palestinian territories into open-air prisons lacking even the most basic security measures.
The occupying authorities are using financial and basic necessities as weapons to tighten their grip, preventing the entry of funds essential for daily life. Hundreds of students are also being denied access to scholarships abroad through the closure of crossings, thus destroying the future of an entire generation of young people aspiring to higher education.
With the onset of winter, the suffering intensifies as the entry of habitable tents and essential heating supplies for those displaced and living in the open is prevented. These measures are clearly aimed at increasing the cost of Palestinian resilience and rendering life in the Gaza Strip impossible and unsustainable under the weight of deadly weather conditions.
The international community's complete silence regarding these crimes gives the occupation a green light to continue operating as an entity above international law. While Netanyahu's government boasts in the media about the need to maintain security, it perpetrates the most heinous forms of systematic abuse and killing on the ground, far removed from any real oversight or accountability from the international community.
In conclusion, these ongoing violations reveal a deep-seated inferiority complex that the occupying authorities attempt to compensate for by inflicting maximum harm on civilians. The unjust laws tailored to target the landowners, while granting settlers and soldiers complete immunity, confirm that this is a battle for survival and steadfastness against a killing machine that recognizes no humanity.
