This is a deeply disturbing and concerning situation. The comments made by Israel's Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich are unacceptable and inhumane. Suggesting that it would be "justified and moral" to starve two million people in Gaza is a violation of basic human rights and international law.
It's heartening to see the European Union, France, and the UK condemning Smotrich's remarks and calling for the Israeli government to distance itself from such statements. The deliberate starvation of civilians is indeed a war crime, and it's essential that the international community holds Israel accountable for its actions.
The humanitarian situation in Gaza is already dire, with almost the entire population displaced and suffering from food shortages. The war has resulted in devastating losses on both sides, and it's crucial that a ceasefire is implemented immediately to prevent further suffering and loss of life.
It's also important to note that providing humanitarian aid to the people of Gaza is an obligation under international humanitarian law, and Israel, as the occupying power, has a responsibility to ensure the well-being of the civilian population.
I hope that the international community continues to pressure Israel to retract and condemn Smotrich's remarks and to work towards a peaceful resolution to the conflict. The people of Gaza deserve our support and solidarity in this difficult time.
