US-Israel Bomb Three Countries

On Monday (24/3/2025), Israel bombed at least four locations in Gaza. Israeli planes and helicopters targeted the areas of Al Sahara, Al-Mawaso, Shujayea, and Khan Younis. So far, the number of fatalities and injuries from these four locations is still being verified.

Israel continues to strike several locations in southern Lebanon. The attacks on Gaza have been carried out since last Tuesday. Meanwhile, the bombings in Lebanon began over the weekend.

Meanwhile, the United States continues its attacks on Yemen. The cities of Sahar and Saqin in Sabaa were targeted in the latest U.S. strikes on Yemen. Yemen's capital, Sanaa, was also targeted in the attacks. The AFP news agency reported that at least one person was killed and 13 others were injured in the attack on Sanaa.

On social media, US Central Command (Centcom) posted video footage of fighter jets taking off from an aircraft carrier, indicating that the jets were attacking Houthis in Yemen.

In the past week, at least 600 people have died as a result of Israel's attacks on Gaza. The victims include members of Hamas's Political Bureau, Salah al-Bardaweel and Ismail Barhoum. Al-Bardaweel was killed at one of the refugee shelters in Khan Younis.

He reminded that the Geneva Convention of 1864 prohibits attacks that disrupt the work of medical personnel. Israel's attacks on various hospitals indicate that the convention is being disregarded.

The Israeli military, Tzahal, also announced that it would once again besiege Rafah. Israeli soldiers were also seen in several other parts of Gaza. They began re-entering the area early last week.

The repeated bombings continued with the re-deployment of tzahal ground troops to Gaza in violation of the ceasefire. On January 19-March 1, 2025, Israel and Palestinian resistance groups agreed to a ceasefire.

During that period, Israel was asked to withdraw its troops from Gaza, release Palestinians from prison, and end the blockade of aid to Gaza. Meanwhile, Palestinian resistance groups were asked to release Israeli citizens and a number of other countries held captive in Gaza.

During the first phase of the ceasefire, Israel and the Palestinian resistance groups were also expected to negotiate a second phase of the ceasefire. Until the first phase of the ceasefire ended, the negotiations were unsuccessful.

Israel and the mediators have failed to guarantee that there will be no further Israeli attacks on Gaza. Without such guarantees, Palestinian resistance groups have refused to release the remaining 58 Israelis and other people still held in Gaza.

Israel insists on continuing its attacks and occupation of Gaza. Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz even ordered the tzahal to occupy more areas in Gaza. He also said that Israel would annex Gaza.

The comments prompted an outcry from France. Paris rejects any annexation of Gaza. Along with Germany and Britain, France called Israel's attack on Gaza a dramatic setback for peacebuilding efforts.

Meanwhile, EU Foreign Policy Chief Kaja Kallas announced a visit to the West Bank on Monday. She is scheduled to meet Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas and Prime Minister Mohammad Mustafa.

He sought to push for a resumption of Israeli-Palestinian talks. "We strongly oppose the resumption of hostilities by Israel, which has caused terrible loss of life in Gaza. The killing must stop. In war, both sides lose," Kallas said.

He added that Hamas must release all hostages, while Israel must stop its attacks on Gaza, reopen the door to humanitarian aid deliveries, and resume talks on a ceasefire.

Kallas added that Israel must respect civilian life. Israel's threats to annex parts of Gaza are unacceptable.

Kallas made the remarks after meeting with Egyptian Foreign Minister Badr Abdelatty. After visiting Egypt, Kallas is scheduled to fly to Tel Aviv and speak with a number of Israeli government officials. Kallas is scheduled to meet with Israeli President Isaac Herzog, Foreign Minister Gideon Saar and opposition leader Yair Lapid.

Not only attacking, Israel also began to move the population of Gaza. So far, 70 Gazans have been sent by Israel to Europe. Israel claims that Gazans like the transfer. The transfer is said to be in line with the projection of the future of Gaza offered by US President Donald Trump.

“We are working in every way to implement the vision of the US president and we will allow every resident of Gaza who wants to move to a third country to do so,” Defense Minister Israel Katz was quoted as saying by The Jerusalem Post.

The first wave of transfers was given to Gazans with dual citizenship. They were flown to Romania last week.

Katz did not say which country the 70 Palestinians would live in after being relocated. However, a Gallup poll released over the weekend found Germany and Turkey to be the most popular countries for Palestinians to be removed from their homeland.

Meanwhile, according to a report released by The Jerusalem Post last weekend, other areas desired as new settlements for Palestinians include Egypt, Qatar, the United Arab Emirates and Kuwait. Some also want to move to the US and Canada.

The transfer process is directly supervised by the Israeli Defense Ministry. Katz said, to carry out the work, they plan to form a new directorate called the Voluntary Emigration Bureau under the Defense Ministry to process the transfer. Katz claims the process is in accordance with applicable laws in Israel and also international law.

So far, no country has expressed willingness to accept Palestinians displaced by Israel and the United States. However, right-wing politician and Israeli Finance Minister Bezalel Smootrich has proposed moving 10,000 Palestinians in Gaza per day. He said budget constraints would not hinder the process.
