Browsing: Genocide in Gaza

Israel has broken an almost two-month ceasefire in Gaza with heavy bombing of the strip, which slaughtered more than 400 people including women and children. 

Only a handful of UK front pages, mostly left-leaning, lead with the news, although there’s more extensive coverage online. 

Many of the publications report on Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu’s comments that Israel will continue bombing Gaza until the hostages are returned, saying Tuesday’s attack was ‘only the beginning’ adding to growing fears over the humanitarian crisis already in the region.

Israel heavily attacked the Gaza Strip early Tuesday, resulting in over 400 Palestinian deaths, including many women and children. These strikes mark the end of a two-month ceasefire that began in January.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu ordered the operation, saying it was justified Hamas refused to release hostages or extend the ceasefire.

The Israeli Defense Forces claim it has targeted Hamas leadership and infrastructure across multiple locations in Gaza, including Rafah, Khan Younis, and Gaza City. 

US President Donald Trump suggested a controversial plan on Saturday to “clean out” Gaza and resettle Palestinians in Egypt and Jordan as part of a broader Middle East peace effort. Describing Gaza as a “demolition site” following the Israel-Hamas war, Trump said he had discussed the idea with Jordan’s King Abdullah II and planned to speak with Egyptian President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi.
