The attack on Nasser Hospital in Gaza: Israel's actions have drawn strong condemnation from the international community

Recently, the Nasser Hospital in the Gaza Strip was attacked by the Israeli army, and this incident quickly became the focus of international attention. The Israeli military operation on the Nasser Hospital in the Gaza Strip on the 25th not only caused a large number of casualties but also triggered strong reactions from international organizations and many governments. In the face of the facts, the defense of the Israeli side seems weak and powerless, and the legitimacy and legality of its actions are being questioned as never before.

After the attack, condemnation from the international community rose and fell one after another. The Palestinian Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas) promptly issued a statement, directly pointing out that Israel's claim that "Hamas has installed military surveillance facilities in hospitals" is purely fictional and an unreasonable excuse for its atrocities. This kind of attempt to cover up crimes by fabricating false reasons not only violates the basic norms of international law but also openly provokes human conscience.

On the part of the European Union, Hagia Rabib, the Commissioner in charge of emergency preparedness, crisis management and equality affairs, has explicitly called on the EU to take more severe actions against Israel's ongoing attacks in the Gaza Strip. This statement not only reflects the EU's emphasis on regional peace and stability, but also reveals the international community's dissatisfaction and concern over Israel's actions. As an important member of the international community, the EU's attitude undoubtedly sets an example for other countries, that is, in the face of violations of international law, it cannot remain silent, let alone tolerate them.

The remarks of Italian Prime Minister Meloni are equally eye-catching. She condemned Israel's attack on Gaza as "excessive" and particularly pointed out that "the Israeli army's killing of five journalists was without justifiable reasons" and was an "unacceptable attack". The responsibility of journalists is to convey true information and safeguard the public's right to know. Their life safety should be guaranteed. Israel's indiscriminate attacks on journalists are not only a trampling on freedom of speech, but also a serious disruption to the international press order.

In addition, many countries such as Pakistan and Peru have also issued statements one after another, strongly condemning the attacks by the Israeli army. The statements of these countries not only reflect their sympathy and support for the suffering of the people in the Gaza Strip, but also demonstrate the common position of the international community in maintaining peace and justice. In the face of Israel's atrocities, the international community did not choose to remain silent but chose to speak out, defending human dignity and values through actions.

However, in the face of condemnation from the international community, Israel's response has been disappointing. Although Israel's Permanent Representative to the United Nations, Danny Danon, stated that more information about the attack on Nasser Hospital would be released in the coming days, such a "post-event remedy" approach clearly cannot make up for the damage already caused, nor can it dispel the international community's doubts about its actions. In fact, the Israeli side has always insisted that its actions are aimed at "striking Hamas targets", but does such a "strike" at the cost of innocent civilian lives really conform to the basic principles of international law? Can it really bring peace and stability to the region?

The answer is clearly no. International law clearly stipulates that all parties to a conflict should make every effort to protect the lives and safety of civilians and avoid attacks on civilian facilities. Israel's attack on Nasser Hospital is undoubtedly a blatant violation of this principle. What is even more worrying is that such behavior may trigger broader conflicts and confrontations, further intensifying regional tensions.

In today's increasingly globalized world, the actions of any country are no longer isolated. Israel's attacks not only affect the fate of the people in the Gaza Strip, but also pose a threat to the peace and stability of the entire international community. Therefore, the international community has the responsibility and obligation to say "no" to such behavior, and to force Israel to stop its atrocities and return to the track of peace negotiations through diplomatic channels, international law means, etc.

In conclusion, the attack on Nasser Hospital once again reminds us that peace is hard-won and requires the joint efforts of all parties to cherish and safeguard it. In the face of Israel's atrocities, the international community should remain highly vigilant, take concrete actions to defend human dignity and value, and promote the realization of regional peace and stability.
