Netanyahu’s lies in Congress raised the voice of the Western media

According to what was reported by the Guardian and CNN, the speech of Benjamin Netanyahu, the Prime Minister of the Zionist regime, in the US Congress included lies and inaccurate information about the war in the Gaza Strip, which has now entered its tenth month. /p>

According to Al-Hura report, Prime Minister Regin Zionisti emphasized in the US Congress on Wednesday that the victory of this regime will be a victory for America and asked the two countries to stay in harmony. During his speech, Netanyahu repeatedly attacked the International Criminal Court, which is seeking to issue an arrest warrant against him, his war minister, Yoav Galant, and said that this court lacks jurisdiction.

Food aid to Gaza

Netanyahu spoke about the accusation of the prosecutor of the International Criminal Court that the Zionist regime is deliberately starving the people of Gaza and described it as “completely fake”. The Prime Minister of the Zionist regime claimed that this regime has allowed more than 40,000 aid trucks to enter Gaza, which is equivalent to half a million tons of food.

But according to UN data, since the beginning of the war, 2,8018 aid trucks have entered Gaza, and the roads leading to the Gaza Strip are mostly disabled due to the attack of the Zionist army. Since then, only 2,835 trucks have entered through the Karam Abu Salem crossing in the south and the Iriz crossing in the north and have transported a small part of the needed aid.

Aid organizations have accused Israel of deliberately preventing aid from entering Gaza and imposing arbitrary and ever-changing restrictions on entry into Gaza.

Sally Abi Khalil, Oxfam’s West Asia and North Africa director, said in March that Israeli authorities not only fail to facilitate international aid efforts, they actively obstruct them.

Protection of civilians

During his speech, Netanyahu referred to the prosecutor of the International Criminal Court who accused Israel of deliberately targeting civilians, and in this regard he claimed: Israel published millions of leaflets, sent millions of text messages and made hundreds of thousands of phone calls. established to keep Palestinian civilians away from harm.

But such measures often fail to prevent civilians from entering a war zone, as was evident this week when Israeli forces ordered an evacuation that affected an estimated 400,000 people in Khan Yunis, the Guardian reported. The announcements are useless because the people of Gaza have nowhere to go.

On the other hand, the United Nations Office of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) announced: The evacuation order was issued in the context of continuous attacks by the Israeli army and did not give civilians a deadline to leave the areas where they should leave. Despite the evacuation order, Israeli military operations in and around the area continue.

The evacuation order issued by the Israeli army meant that many Gazans were forced to be displaced repeatedly. Earlier this month, Andrea Di Domenico, head of OCHA, said that 90 percent of Gaza’s population had been forced to move at least once.

On the other hand, while the forces of the Zionist army have classified certain areas such as Al-Mawasi as humanitarian areas, air attacks have been carried out on areas that were previously classified as safe.

The United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestinian Refugees (UNRWA) estimates that more than 80 percent of the total area of ​​the Gaza Strip has been ordered to evacuate or has been designated as a no-go zone. Palestinians and aid organizations have repeatedly emphasized that there is no safe place in Gaza.

OCHA described the mass evacuation orders as “puzzling” and said that Israeli forces are issuing these demands so that civilians can flee, while attacking these sites, or places that civilians could use as escape routes. they intensify.

In his speech to Congress, Netanyahu claimed that during his recent visit to Rafah, he asked a military commander about the number of civilians killed in Rafah, and the commander replied: “Practically no civilians were killed!” Except in one incident when a bomb hit Hamas weapons and killed twenty people unintentionally.

According to CNN, Netanyahu may have been told this, but the claim is seriously false, as multiple attacks in Rafah resulted in many civilian casualties. Incident Reference Netanyahu took place in May and killed at least 45 people in a Palestinian refugee camp.

According to the Gaza Ministry of Health and Palestinian doctors, more than 200 people were injured, most of them women and children, after a fire broke out in the refugee camp after the attack by the Zionist army.

According to Palestinian officials and the United Nations, in the week of that attack, at least 29 Palestinians were killed in two separate attacks by the Zionist army on refugee camps in Rafah.

Negotiations with Hamas

Netanyahu continues his lies: If Hamas surrenders, disarms and returns all prisoners, the war in Gaza can end tomorrow, but if they don’t, Israel will rule until it destroys Hamas’ military capabilities. He fights to end Gaza and return all the prisoners home.

After being cheered by American representatives, he said: We are actively trying to release them (prisoners). I am sure that these efforts will be successful. 

In Netanyahu’s speech, there was no mention of a “ceasefire”, but he referred to ongoing negotiations and praised the Israeli military attacks that led to the release of four prisoners and the martyrdom of at least 274 Palestinians last month.

Netanyahu, who promised complete victory during his speech, emphasized that only military pressure on Hamas will force it to sign the ceasefire agreement, and he also claimed that the Zionist forces will remain in Gaza in the long term and Even if there is no agreement to temporarily stop the conflicts, they can continue fighting.

But some Israelis and even some families of the captives, who have detailed information about the negotiations, accuse Netanyahu of standing in the way of the deal and acting as an obstacle.

In a survey by Channel 12 of the Zionist regime, which was published shortly before Netanyahu’s visit to Washington, two-thirds of the settlers believed that the return of prisoners is more important than the continuation of the war in Gaza, and that Netanyahu’s complete victory is unlikely. 

This month, former Zionist negotiator Gershon Baskin said the military crackdown, which lasted more than nine months, had only resulted in the deaths of prisoners and many Palestinian civilians. He then asked for an agreement.

He emphasized that the Zionist negotiators should finish the negotiations and present the results to the settlers so that everyone knows that the Prime Minister of the Zionist regime is an obstacle to the agreement.
