Tor Wensland, the United Nations Special Coordinator for the Middle East Peace Process, said that the Israeli air strikes on the Gaza Strip resulted in the killing of a huge number of Palestinians, the majority of whom were civilians.
Wensland stressed in a session of the UN Security Council that the ongoing unresolved conflict and the continued occupation affects every Palestinian and Israeli, adding that the risk of further deterioration of the situation in the occupied West Bank remains great.
He pointed out that violence in the West Bank has increased significantly since the beginning of the war, adding that the Israeli authorities have imposed massive restrictions on freedom of movement in the West Bank since October 7.
It is clear that what we are witnessing is unprecedented, threatens to expand, and may have a long-term impact.
A statement by the Al-Quds Brigades regarding the entry of the Israeli army into Gaza
The military spokesman for the Al-Quds Brigades, Abu Hamza, confirmed that the attempt to enter the Israeli army into the Gaza Strip "will heal the pain of thousands of trained fighters who are eager to meet the Israeli army brigades."
Abu Hamza said: “Eighteen days after the Al-Aqsa flood battle, it has become clear to us that the occupation government does not want its prisoners to see the light, and does not even pay the slightest attention to their lives. We see that the criminal Netanyahu will be a reason for accelerating the demise of the Zionist entity with his government and army according to For his personal whims.”
He added: "The repeated inspection visits by enemy leaders to the worn-out military concentrations on the northern and southern fronts reflect the state of frustration experienced by the army, which has been claiming its readiness for more than ten days, knowing that these leaders know very well what awaits their officers and soldiers on the outskirts of the Gaza Strip."
He continued: “The attempt to enter the Zionist enemy army into the Gaza Strip will soothe the hearts of thousands of trained fighters who are eager to meet the brigades of the enemy army, and the world will see the valor and courage of the Palestinian fighter who is fighting the enemy’s terrible arsenal, and behind him is the Great Satan, America, with a doctrine that does not allow him to emerge from this battle except victorious.” ".
On Monday, Yedioth Ahronoth newspaper wrote an article in which it talked about the crisis of confidence in Israel between Benjamin Netanyahu and the Israeli army, 17 days after the October 7 attack launched by the Hamas movement.
The newspaper said, "Today the government is facing difficulty in reaching agreed-upon decisions on major issues."
