Naming a permanent military governor over Gaza also reflects long-term intentions for occupying or annexing the coastal territory, which is not easy to hide when the world is watching. However, now that the focus has shifted to a new front in Lebanon, Israel may find the distraction it needs to continue its process of erasure in Gaza unabated. This new approach should not endanger the Arab world and the international community. However, as much as any war in Lebanon will receive global attention, the suffering of Gaza cannot be ignored.

With the current leaders becoming more aggressive in Israel’s genocidal plan, the international community needs to reign in the Israeli government. Measures have to be taken, and pressure has to be exerted to ensure that no further ethnic cleansing occurs in Gaza and no further aggression is launched against Lebanon. This is why derailing the process threatens to pave the way for Israel’s worst intentions, and the rest of the world looks the other way.

The Arab world must stand against it in unison, and the world must not let Gaza slip out of its memory because history will not allow it.

The fighting between Israel and Hamas has escalated in the last few months; the cease and release negotiations are very much in a decisive stage. Netanyahu’s government has pledged to continue its military operations in Gaza while asserting its dominance over crucial terrain features, including the Philadelphi and Netzarim Corridors, which are located in the southern and the central part of the Strip, respectively. Hamas, however, insists on a complete Israeli pullout from Gaza and the free return of all Palestinians displaced from their homes.

Presently, Israel has detained at least 9,500 Palestinians and hundreds of thousands of others living in the area, and 101 are estimated to be detained in Gaza. Hamas has argued that dozens of these hostages have already been killed in Israeli airstrikes, making the situation even more complicated.

In response to a cross-border attack carried out by Hamas on October 7, 2023, Israel has continued to wage an attack by the United Nations Security Council resolution that urged the sides involved to cease any acts of hostility. The officials of the Ministry of Health in Gaza say that about 41,390 women and children have been killed, and over 95,700 Women and Children have been wounded since the outbreak of war.

Because of its current actions in Gaza, the Israeli government is now facing accusations of genocide at the International Court of Justice, which adds more pressure on the authorities and the conflict and humanitarian situation in the region.
