Neve Gordon, welcome back to Democracy Now! Can you start off actually by talking about what this letter says? And the number of people is — the last time we looked, it was 2,000 Israelis who have signed it. Now it’s over 3,000, Professor Gordon.
NEVE GORDON: There’s a feeling among Israelis that the change cannot come from within. We do not have enough power from within to change the course of actions that Netanyahu and his government have put in place. And the only way to stop the violence, to stop the genocidal violence in Gaza, to stop the violence in Lebanon, and to stop future attacks and geopolitical war in the region is that leaders in Europe and leaders in North America, particularly the United States, put their leg down and say enough is enough and threaten Israel that if there is no ceasefire, they will sanction Israel, they will stop arms trade with Israel, they’ll stop sending Israel money, and ultimately stop trading with Israel. So, our belief is, to save the populations that inhabit this region, we need such an action.
Nous, citoyennes et citoyens israéliens, résidant en Israël et ailleurs, appelons la communauté internationale – l’Organisation des Nations unies et ses institutions, les Etats-Unis, l’Union européenne, la Ligue arabe, ainsi que tous les pays du monde – à intervenir immédiatement en appliquant contre Israël toute sanction possible afin d’obtenir un cessez-le-feu immédiat entre Israël et ses voisins. Et cela, pour l’avenir des peuples vivant en Israël Palestine et dans la région, et afin de garantir leur droit à la sécurité et à la vie. Mercredi, le chef du Hamas, Yahya Sinwar, a été tué par l’armée israélienne. Or, on craint que cette mort, qui a été annoncée comme la fin de l’offensive israélienne, ne soit qu’une étape de ce chemin meurtrier vers l’abîme.
The lack of true international pressure, the continuation of arms supplies to Israel, economic and security partnerships and scientific and cultural collaborations, bring most Israelis to believe that Israel’s policies enjoy international support. The leaders of many countries make repeated statements about the horror they feel and verbally denounce Israel’s operations, but these condemnations are not backed by practical actions. We are replete with empty words and declarations.
Please, for our futures and the futures of all of the residents of Israel and the region, save us from ourselves and use real pressure on Israel for an immediate ceasefire.
A ministry statement added that some 101,110 others were injured in the ongoing assault.
“The Israeli occupation has committed five massacres of families in the last 48 hours, resulting in 96 deaths and 277 injuries,” the ministry said.
CNN cannot confirm the figures but they match numbers provided by Kamal Adwan hospital, where victims have been taken.
Graphic footage showed the bodies of several children among the dead, many with extensive injuries. Other video showed numerous body bags at the hospital amid grieving relatives. Overnight footage showed rescue workers combing through tonnes of rubble in the search for survivors and victims. Daylight images appear to show that two or three substantial apartment buildings were flattened by the strike.
For the 12th consecutive day, the Israeli military has launched a renewed wave of genocidal violence against Palestinians in northern Gaza, specifically in Jabalia, Beit Lahia, and Beit Hanoun, besieging Palestinians therein and subjecting them to intense aerial and artillery bombardment.
Israel is directly implementing theso-called “Generals’ Plan”, reportedly examined by the Israeli Prime Minister, that is aimed at emptying northern Gaza of its residents by laying a full siege, denying the entry of humanitarian aid, forcing Palestinians to leave, and unlawfully declaring whoever remains to be a military target.
Warplanes carried out strikes on residential areas in northern Gaza, late on Saturday, killing and wounding over 100 people.
Medics in Gaza reported that Israeli air strikes targeted a multi-floor building and damaged a number of nearby houses.
Local sources reported that Israeli warplanes carried out intense bombing raids on Beit Lahiya, completely destroying a residential complex while civilians were inside, resulting in at least 73 fatalities and numerous injuries.
Many individuals are still trapped under the rubble, with rescue teams unable to reach them.
Additionally, Israeli quadcopter drones fired on tents housing displaced families in the courtyard of Al-Awda Hospital and directly targeted an ambulance.
People were forced to evacuate to that area due to the scale and the intensity of the massive Israeli bombardment that was taking place in the more central and eastern parts, particularly in Jabalia.
So, many people were forced into that area, and as soon as they gathered, they got bombed and killed in the places they were seeking shelter.
The confirmed reports we got say multiple air strikes took place targeting an entire residential block in western Beit Lahiya cit – very packed with people, the local residents as well as those who evacuated earlier.
The attack was so massive that it shook the entire western part of Beit Lahiya.
Three partially functioning hospitals treating severely wounded patients and sheltering thousands of displaced Palestinian civilians in northern Gaza are now out of service after coming under intense Israeli fire, a Gaza health official told Al Jazeera, as the siege on Jabalia enters its third week, with at least 33 more people killed in the northern area.

Israel launches the heaviest air strikes on Beirut so far with dozens reportedly killed across Lebanon over the past day.

Lebanon said an Israeli strike on Friday cut off the main international road to Syria, after Israel said Hezbollah was transporting weapons through the tiny Mediterranean country‘s principal land border crossing.
The strike, which Israel has not commented on, comes after 310,000 people, mostly Syrians, have in recent days fled the war pitting Israel and Hezbollah in Lebanon for relative safety in neighbouring Syria.
According to AFP, the recent Israeli strikes were conducted near Lebanon’s Masnaa border crossing with Syria. Lebanon Transport Minister Ali Hamieh said that the Israeli authority struck the Lebanese side of the border, cutting off a road used by Lebanese fleeing to Syria.
The Israeli military earlier said in a statement that it had conducted a strike on Tulkarm, without providing more details.

“The same shocking images we saw at the beginning of the war in Gaza, the same horror, the same blind support. Innocent women, children and elderly people are crushed under the bombings. How much more blood will be spilled until they realize here that war will not bring any security?” she wrote.
Touma-Sliman added that “this war brings only destruction and crimes, not peace or security. Gaza is still suffering under the bombings, and the humanitarian crisis is worsening. There is no safe place, even the evacuees are bombed in their tents, exposed to hunger, disease, and rains. In the occupied West Bank, the settlers attack and lead terror day after day. Did all this bring back the hostages?”
