  • Netanyahu announces a full-scale assault on Gaza, vowing to destroy Hamas while critics warn of forced Palestinian expulsion and genocide.
  • Netanyahu admits Israel’s destruction of homes aims to push Gazans to emigrate, confirming fears of ethnic cleansing.
  • Humanitarian aid is being weaponized, with Palestinians receiving help only if they don’t return to their destroyed homes.
  • Despite claims of victory, Hamas remains undefeated, and Israel’s indiscriminate bombings continue killing civilians, including in hospitals.
  • The war exposes Israel’s apartheid regime, with global inaction allowing unchecked destruction and potential genocide in Gaza.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has openly declared that his military will soon launch a devastating, full-scale assault on Gaza, vowing to "complete the operation" by destroying Hamas in a move that critics warn will accelerate the forced expulsion of Palestinians from their homeland. With Gaza already reduced to ruins after 20 months of relentless bombing, Netanyahu’s latest threats signal an escalation in what human rights organizations have labeled a genocide. Netanyahu’s chilling remarks came during a visit to Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) reservists, where he stated, "In the very coming days, we are going in with full force to complete the operation. Completing the operation means defeating Hamas. It means destroying Hamas." He dismissed the possibility of a permanent ceasefire, saying, "There will be no situation where we stop the war. A temporary ceasefire might happen, but we are going all the way."

"Inevitable" ethnic cleansing

Netanyahu’s genocidal ambitions were laid bare in a separate address to Israel’s Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee, where he admitted that the systematic destruction of Palestinian homes is designed to force mass displacement. "We are destroying more and more homes," he said, "and the only inevitable outcome will be the wish of Gazans to emigrate outside of the Gaza Strip." This admission confirms long-standing fears that Israel’s military campaign is not just about eliminating Hamas but about erasing Palestinian presence in Gaza entirely. The United Nations estimates that 69% of Gaza’s structures have been damaged or destroyed, including 245,000 homes, with the World Bank calculating $18.5 billion in damages — nearly the combined GDP of the West Bank and Gaza in 2022.

Aid as a weapon of coercion

Netanyahu also revealed a disturbing new policy: Palestinians will only receive humanitarian aid if they do not return to their homes. This contradicts previous claims by Israeli officials and aligns with a U.S.-backed aid distribution plan that the UN has rejected as "incompatible with humanitarian principles." The blockade on Gaza has already pushed half a million people to the brink of famine, with aid deliveries deliberately obstructed. Meanwhile, far-right Israeli politicians are openly advocating for the recolonization of Gaza. Limor Son Har-Malech, a member of the extremist Jewish Power party, suggested, "Bring the Jews of the United States, that way we kill two birds with one stone."

A war without end

Despite Netanyahu’s claims of imminent victory, Hamas remains undefeated, and Israel’s indiscriminate bombing has killed tens of thousands of civilians. The IDF’s latest airstrike on a Gaza hospital, which killed a Palestinian journalist recovering from a previous attack, underscores the brutality of this campaign. Netanyahu’s refusal to end the war, even temporarily, has strained relations with the U.S., with President Donald Trump reportedly cutting ties over the Israeli leader’s pursuit of war. Yet, Israel continues to enjoy unwavering military and diplomatic support from Western powers, despite mounting evidence of war crimes. Netanyahu’s Gaza campaign is not just a military operation; it is a calculated effort to erase Palestinian existence. His government’s open embrace of forced expulsion, mass destruction, and aid manipulation exposes the true nature of Israel’s apartheid regime. As the world watches in horror, Gaza stands as a heartbreaking testament to what happens when a state operates beyond the bounds of international law, unchecked by moral or political consequences. The question now is not whether Israel will escalate its assault, but whether the global community will finally intervene to stop this genocide before Gaza is emptied of its people forever.
