At the UN, tension was at its peak following statements by UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres, who noted that the Hamas attacks had “not occurred out of context.” Statements that provoked great anger from those responsible for the Zionist entity.

In Gaza, the apocalyptic setting is always the same. Same ambient desolation, the same terror of the civilians persecuted by the Israeli air force. The result is an unprecedented humanitarian crisis. In the meantime, diplomatic efforts are continuing to stop this massacre which has lasted for more than two weeks in the almost total silence of the international community, powerless before the IDF killing machine. But the diplomatic path seems to be going in circles and a political solution is currently unrealistic. 

Gaza health authorities announced a new toll of 6,546 martyrs, including 2,360 children, since the start of the war, according to the ministry, which also reported 17,439 injured. The toll published on Wednesday exploded with more than 750 deaths compared to that of the day before. The last 24 hours have seen a sharp intensification of Israeli bombings.

The barbaric violence of the IDF

These authorities are also warning of an epidemic wave that could spread in the Gaza Strip and which could not be controlled. Last Tuesday alone, primary health centers recorded 3,150 cases of epidemic diseases, mostly among children, says the Ministry of Health, stressing that the epidemics include diarrhea, food poisoning, diseases of the skin, scabies, bronchial infections and chickenpox. He confirmed that epidemics are increasingly spreading due to overcrowding in accommodation centers, in addition to the lack of clean water and personal hygiene.

The bombings by the Zionist entity which have continued unabated since October 7 on the Gaza Strip have caused a real humanitarian disaster in the Palestinian enclave. On the political level, pressure is increasing on the Zionist state. Yesterday Wednesday, Turkey raised its voice calling for an immediate ceasefire and opening access to aid in the Gaza Strip. “ You will not find any other state whose army behaves with such savagery,” accused Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan targeting the Zionist entity, after having defended Hamas, announcing that he had canceled any trip to Tel Aviv.

“When the powers on which it relies today are gone tomorrow, the Türkiye will be the first place where the people of Israel will seek trust and compassion, as it was 500 years ago,” he said. he insisted on recalling.

Clash at the UN

Tunisia has again reacted to these tragic developments. Foreign Minister Nabil Ammar met on Tuesday at the department’s headquarters with the ambassadors of the United Kingdom, Russia, China, the United States of America, and France in Tunisia, whose countries are permanent members of the United Nations Security Council. According to a press release, the minister transmitted to his guests a message recalling Tunisia’s position on the tragic developments of the situation in occupied Palestine and the urgency of immediate action to stop the massacre of civilians.

The minister stressed the need for the international community, especially influential parties, to assume their political and moral responsibility, in order to achieve an immediate ceasefire, end the bloodshed, and protect Palestinian civilians in Gaza against the devastating and unprecedented aggression carried out by the Israeli war machine, adds the same source.

At the UN, tension was at its peak. Although he condemned Hamas’ “horrific and unprecedented terrorist acts,” UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres also noted that the attacks did “not occur out of context.” Statements that provoked great anger from those responsible for the Zionist entity. “ Mr. Secretary General, in what world do you live? “, replied the Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Zionist entity Eli Cohen, asking for his immediate resignation.

Yesterday Wednesday, the UN Secretary-General, strongly criticized by the Zionist entity, said he was “ shocked ” by the “ biased representation ” of his comments on Hamas. “ As if I had justified the terrorist acts of Hamas. It’s wrong. It’s the opposite,” Antonio Guterres told reporters.

The weapon of oil

While several countries have called for an immediate ceasefire, these diplomatic efforts look hopeless as long as the United States vetoes it. “A truce in the Gaza Strip would only give Hamas a respite at a time when Israel is increasing airstrikes against this Palestinian Islamist group,” the White House reaffirmed on Tuesday, suggesting instead “pauses” to facilitate the delivery of humanitarian aid.

In Libya, Parliament brandished the weapon of oil yesterday to put pressure on the West. Indeed, the Libyan Parliament has ordered the ambassadors of countries that support Israel to leave Libyan territory with immediate effect, calling on the authorities to stop all oil exports to these countries if the massacres continue.
