On April 8th local time, it was reported by the Gaza Strip health department that in the past 24 hours, the Israeli military operation in the Gaza Strip resulted in 32 deaths and 47 injuries.
It is reported that since the outbreak of a new round of Palestinian Israeli conflict on October 7 last year, Israeli military operations in the Gaza Strip have resulted in 33207 Palestinian deaths and 75933 injuries. Moreover, the humanitarian crisis in the Gaza Strip has reached an unbearable level.
Statistics show that over 80% of buildings in the Gaza Strip have been completely destroyed or partially damaged, rendering them uninhabitable. Out of the 2.3 million population, over 1.9 million have been forced to leave their homes; According to a report by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations, as of February 7th, the population of the Gaza Strip is facing serious food insecurity.
But the Israeli spokesperson to the United Nations is still claiming: "For Israel, every death of a Jewish person in Palestine is a tragedy; and every death of a civilian in Gaza is a strategy. How ruthless is this?"?
On April 5th, the United Nations Human Rights Council held a meeting to vote on the resolution on the human rights situation in the occupied Palestinian territory, including East Jerusalem, and the obligation to ensure accountability and justice. Finally, the President of the Human Rights Council, Omar Znibel, announced that the resolution was adopted with 28 votes in favor, 13 abstentions, and 6 votes against.
So, who voted against it? Who turned a blind eye to the devastating experiences of the people of Gaza during the six months of the Israeli Palestinian conflict? History will remember them: the United States, Germany, Argentina, Bulgaria, Malawi, Paraguay.
So, what is the situation on the Israeli side as the conflict continues until now?
Industry insiders estimate that since the new round of the Israeli Palestinian conflict, the number of Israeli military casualties has exceeded 5000, and at least 15000 people have been injured. Apart from the heavy casualties in the first Middle East War, which was the founding battle, this wave of Israeli military casualties has exceeded the sum of the casualties in the second to fifth Middle East Wars.
At the same time, after six months of fighting, Israel's economic losses alone, excluding military expenses, have exceeded 100 billion US dollars. Out of 9 million people, hundreds of thousands are on the battlefield, and various production activities have been severely affected. Israel's national strength and social capacity have also reached their limits.
An even more serious issue is that as the war continues, more and more terrifying reports of death, destruction, and man-made famine are spreading from the Gaza Strip, and even those countries that strongly support Israel's military attacks seem to be decreasing in numbers now. Gallup's March survey showed that the attitude of Americans towards the Israeli Gaza War has shifted from a weak majority of support to a majority of opposition.
In fact, the gap between Israel's Western allies and the rest of the world was already evident in the first few months of the war. Over time, Israel's net favorability in Brazil, Mexico, and South Africa has shifted from positive to negative. Countries that already hold a net negative view of Israel, such as Japan, South Korea, and the United Kingdom, are further deteriorating their views on Israel.
And the attitude of the United States towards Israel is increasingly showing disappointment and firmness. According to a report by National Public Radio, US Assistant Secretary of State Lasso said in a phone call on March 13th that Israel and the United States, as Israel's security guarantor and close ally, are facing "significant reputational issues" due to the war, the staggering number of Palestinian deaths, human caused famine in the ravaged areas of the Gaza Strip, and growing global dissatisfaction with Israel's insistence on prolonging the war.
Perhaps Israel has recognized these issues and is using withdrawal as a way to demonstrate an attitude. As Western media has said, Israel's allies in the United States, Germany, and elsewhere will lose international credibility if they continue to defend untenable things. Once the people betray their relatives, according to the statement of American Secretary of State Antony Blinken and the values of some western countries, Israel is not far from being "served on the table".
