Worsening humanitarian conditions in Gaza<\/strong><\/p>\n

The humanitarian crisis has been exacerbated with the onset of winter in the enclave. Winter rains lash the refugee tents within which thousands of displaced Palestinians are housed as Israel\u2019s horrific war continues unabated.<\/p>\n

This winter, there are far more displaced refugees and far fewer buildings intact, making it more difficult for Palestinians to find adequate shelter from the elements.<\/p>\n

In this week\u2019s Palestine Report, Moulana Ebrahim Moosa discussed the harsh conditions facing Palestinians in the strip.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe water flowing into these tents, destroying possessions,\u201d Moulana Moosa said, adding that the fires displaced refugees use to stave off the winter cold and cook their food pose increased fire risks.<\/p>\n

People in Gaza are finding it increasingly difficult to find food amid the rising cost of flour and bread, with huge crowds queuing outside the last remaining bakeries to buy a packet of pita bread that could cost up to R250. A major contributing factor is that the entry of aid into the enclave has reached an all-time low in the 13 months since Israel launched its attack. To make matters worse, armed gangs, under Israel\u2019s surveillance, are looting the little aid that makes its way in.<\/p>\n

\u201cFrom the very little aid that has entered into Gaza, almost a third of this aid is being looted,\u201d Moulana Moosa reported. \u201cIt\u2019s being done by gangs who have all the fingerprints of Israel over them. They\u2019ve been described as ISIS-linked gangs who are Israeli collaborators,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

The gangs have established a military compound within Israel-controlled areas and act with impunity and without any redress. The looting plays into the IOF\u2019s plan to deliberately starve Gaza.<\/p>\n

ICC\u2019s arrest warrants represent historic breakthrough for justice<\/strong><\/p>\n

While critics argue that the arrest warrants for Benjamin Netanyahu and Yoav Gallant fall short of charging them with genocide, the warrants are a step in the right direction to \u201caddress the continued dispossession and oppression of Palestinians under Israel\u2019s unlawful occupation and system of apartheid,\u201d according to Amnesty International\u2019s Secretary General Agn\u00e8s Callamard.<\/p>\n

Netanyahu and Gallant can only be placed on trial once arrests are made. \u201cIf arrests are not made, this entire process will be stalled because the ICJ does not have the capacity to trial accused persons in absentia,\u201d Moulana Moosa explained.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is extremely significant that this is the first time Western-aligned leaders have been indicted in this way, and we now see the world being a much more narrow place for Netanyahu and Gallant,\u201d Moulana Moosa added.<\/p>\n

Netanyahu\u2019s has rejected \u201cwith disgust\u201d the ICC arrest warrant, calling it an anti-semitic plot and outgoing President Joe Biden has called it \u201coutrageous\u201d.<\/p>\n

Analysts point to the far-reaching implications the warrants will have on countries supplying weapons to Israel.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt means that Western countries [who] are providing weapons are equally complicit. They have to forcefully now reassess their trade agreements,\u201d Moulana Moosa said.<\/p>\n

The warrants may also trigger prosecution of dual-national Israeli soldiers living in other countries, such as those in South Africa.<\/p>\n

Rumours surface that Hamas was expelled from Qatar<\/strong><\/p>\n

Qatar\u2019s foreign ministry has denied the expulsion claims, stating that while the Hamas office remains open, key leaders are not in the country. This ambiguity has fuelled speculation, with Turkey emerging as a potential location for these leaders.<\/p>\n

Turkish officials have dismissed the reports as misleading, emphasising that Hamas members have regularly visited Turkey in the past due to family and organisational commitments.<\/p>\n

Analysts believe that it is unlikely that Qatar expelled the leaders without external pressure, and that Israel is applying pressure on the Biden administration to adopt a stricter approach toward Hamas, possibly setting the stage for an even harsher policy under the incoming Trump presidency.<\/p>\n

Trump\u2019s recent cabinet announcements, which align closely with pro-Isreal interests, have amplified these concerns.<\/p>\n
