”Starvation War” And The Displacement Plan

The United Nations has issued a dire warning about the rapidly deteriorating humanitarian situation in Gaza, saying life-saving supplies are nearing “complete depletion” due to Israel’s blocking of aid.

 

UN Secretary-General’s spokesman, Stéphane Dujarric, said in a press conference that more than two million people remain trapped in the besieged Strip, with mental health needs increasing dramatically, vital infrastructure destroyed, and basic services on the brink of collapse. He noted that nearly 90% of the water infrastructure—including wells, pumping stations, and sewage treatment plants—has been destroyed due to hostilities, exacerbating the risk of disease and forcing families to rely on unsafe sources.

 

He continued: “Stress levels are rising, particularly among children, as violence and deprivation continue,” stressing that “Israel, as the occupying power, has legal obligations under international law to ensure access to food, medical care, and public health services.”

 

Israel had launched a “starvation war” against the population of Gaza as a prelude to a war on Gaza. Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu decided more than two weeks ago to halt the entry of all humanitarian supplies and aid into Gaza, starting Sunday morning. The move was aimed at pressuring Hamas to agree to a proposal by US envoy to the region, Witkoff. The Prime Minister’s Office said the decision was made because Hamas refused to accept the US proposal to extend the first phase of the ceasefire in Gaza, which expired on Saturday.

 

International organizations have warned of the threat of famine and what Israel is doing in what it calls a “starvation war” in Gaza if supplies to Gaza continue to be cut off. This is especially true since the majority of the population in Gaza relies on food supplies from outside the Strip after its destruction, ending all means of livelihood. The organizations warned, asking: What will happen if the people of Gaza begin to starve? Meanwhile, the media office in Gaza stated that preventing the entry of humanitarian aid into Gaza effectively means a “starvation war” against the people of Gaza, who are entirely dependent on humanitarian aid.

 

The Israeli occupation authorities issued a decision to ban UNRWA at the end of last January in the occupied Palestinian territories, including Jerusalem. This means depriving tens of thousands of Palestinian refugees of services, including education and healthcare, especially with the closure of UNRWA headquarters in occupied Jerusalem. The Israeli Knesset had passed legislation banning UNRWA operations, and Israel officially notified the United Nations of the cancellation of the agreement regulating its relations with the agency since 1967. The United Nations stated that the law also prohibits activity in areas under Israeli control.

 

The United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA) warned that more than two million displaced people in the Gaza Strip are besieged by hunger, thirst, disease, and fear, noting that obtaining meals has become an impossible task for families in the Strip, according to the Palestinian News Agency, WAFA. UNRWA explained that the flour and food supplies allowed into the Strip by Israel through the crossings do not meet 6% of the population’s needs, causing a severe crisis, especially in obtaining bread, which led to the closure of most bakeries in the southern Gaza Strip.

 

UNRWA revealed that the Israeli occupation army has completely or partially destroyed more than 200 schools and shelters as a result of Israeli strikes across the Gaza Strip since the outbreak of the war on October 7.

 

More than 730 displaced persons have been killed in UNRWA shelters, in addition to more than 200 of the agency’s employees so far. The Euro-Mediterranean Human Rights Monitor also announced that the Israeli occupation bombed 18 shelter schools in Gaza within one month.

 

Here comes the important question: Why did Israel prevent humanitarian aid to Gaza, ban UNRWA, and bomb its shelters in Gaza? And does Israel need to do this?

 

Israel certainly needs to ban UNRWA and bomb its shelters for two reasons:

The first is to force the Palestinians out of Gaza and prevent them from resettling there or trying to repair their homes and wounds and to leave Gaza permanently and to be displaced from it. This is the main goal of the Gaza war: to destroy Gaza and displace its population. Gaza will be completely emptied of its population over the course of years through displacement, either forced or voluntary. This will be done in silence and away from the media in what is called the “silent war.” Gaza has now become an uninhabitable place. More than 80 percent of Gaza’s homes have been completely destroyed, residential neighborhoods have been completely removed, entire cities have been wiped out, and entire families have been erased from the civil registry. Gaza has become uninhabitable.

 

The second and most important goal of bombing the shelters in Gaza was to send a message to the Palestinians that there is no safe place for Palestinians in Gaza and that they must either be displaced or killed, and to prevent any institution from helping the Palestinians in preparation for the displacement of the residents of Gaza and preventing them from remaining in Gaza. Therefore, Israel banned UNRWA, which helps them stay alive in the Strip, and bombed them in the shelters and tents to which they were displaced, exhausting them more and more and deciding to leave Gaza, and pushing them repeatedly to flee towards the sea, towards the borders, towards the port and towards the crossings to escape the hell of the bombing that has reached everywhere and made every place in Gaza unsafe.

 

Although the shelters are UN-approved centers housing defenseless civilians whose homes were destroyed and who fled the hell of war to a place supposedly safe according to international agreements and the United Nations, which prohibit armies from bombing these places during wars, considering them safe places for civilians, and there is no military activity or Hamas fighters in these places that could cause harm or resistance, and the Zionist entity is well aware of this, the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) announced that more than half of the schools used to shelter the displaced in Gaza have been bombed. What Israel wants by bombing the shelters in Gaza is to send a bloody message to the Palestinians: There is no safe place for you in Gaza, and you must either evacuate and leave Gaza or be bombed and killed.

 

As for the remaining buildings in Gaza, I believe they will be demolished while they are empty, because the goal is to completely wipe out the place and its landmarks. This is a war of destruction and displacement of the entire Gaza Strip, and a war to rebuild the Gaza Strip anew with new specifications and a different vision for the future, and to hand it over to America. Therefore, it is assumed that no Gazan or Palestinian will remain in Gaza, and that he will not find a safe place in Gaza or think about rebuilding his status.

 

There is an American-Israeli game to delude the Palestinian people into believing that Israel will not occupy Gaza and has no intention of displacing Palestinians, by restoring the Palestinian Authority to replace Hamas in governing Gaza. However, the truth is different. Gaza will be handed over to America, and the Palestinians will be displaced voluntarily and in stages. Countries are now ready to receive them, and the evacuation crossings have been opened.

 

Since Egypt has been aware of the plan from the outset and has no intention of opening its doors to the Palestinians to prevent their displacement, the United States is seeking to pressure it to open the Rafah crossing or to displace them through other means, such as ports, airports, or other crossings to other countries such as Indonesia and Albania, as Trump has stated.

 

This does not mean that there will be a Palestinian Authority in Gaza. The Palestinian Authority’s political role in Gaza has ended. However, there will be Palestinian institutions and Palestinian security forces supporting the multinational force. All of this will be temporary until the transitional phase is arranged. Palestinian civil society institutions in the West Bank will operate strongly in Gaza, in addition to economic institutions. However, there will be no return to Palestinian Gaza and no Palestinian rule there.

 

America and Israel are planning to have Gaza emptied of Palestinians silently and after years of what is called…

 

The “silent war” and its preparation to become a military base for America in the Middle East. This is the most dangerous phase. There will be no Palestinian rule in Gaza, but rather a transitional phase in which the Palestinian Authority will be used to help manage the population temporarily. This is the plan. The goal of this war is to end the Palestinian presence in Gaza, end the idea of a Palestinian state, and end Israel’s absolute hegemony over the West Bank.

 

As for the West Bank, Israel will destroy the Palestinian camps there, with the goal of ending the idea of the Palestinian right of return. Destroying and banning UNRWA will be part of this plan, as Israel considers the Palestinian camps in the West Bank to be a fertile ground for Palestinian struggle and resistance against it. Therefore, its goal will be to destroy the camps so that they become unviable, in order to fragment this force that has penetrated the camps and is able to dominate the minds of young people and recruit them.

 

These settlers were raised in the pens of human terrorism, and their primary mission is to multiply and settle in the West Bank. They pose a threat to the Palestinians residing in the West Bank. They will be allowed to move and remain in the West Bank to terrorize Palestinians in Palestinian villages, threaten their security, prevent urban expansion in Palestinian villages, and prevent the displacement of their residents to Palestinian cities, thus increasing settlement on the lands of Palestinian villages and around Palestinian cities. After that, Israel will achieve absolute hegemony over the West Bank after it has finished with Gaza.

 

With over 800,000 settlers in the West Bank, the elimination of Palestinian refugee camps has become a pressing demand for Israel, which wants to end the Palestinian presence in general. Therefore, the occupation forces are inciting criminal settlers to attack Palestinian villages in the West Bank.
