The American Human Rights Council (AHRC-USA) joins the world’s peace-loving community in condemning the restart of the Israeli genocidal policy of starving and bombing the Palestinians in Gaza. The victims of the Israeli genocidal acts are primarily infants, children, women, and the elderly. More than 404 people have recently been killed in cold blood during Ramadan. Ramadan is the holiest month in the Islamic calendar.
The Israeli breach of the already fragile ceasefire represents a dangerous turn. Israel continues to disregard all laws and norms simply because Netanyahu wants to prolong his political life. Netanyahu has no intention of having a permanent ceasefire in Gaza. The reality is that the Trump administration is responsible for the restart of the Israeli assault on Gaza because it has sided with the criminal defendant Netanyahu. Israel would not be able to relaunch such massive, horrific, and unspeakable attacks without the green light from the Trump administration.
There is a ceasefire agreement in three stages. Israel is violating this agreement. Netanyahu does not want a permanent ceasefire and enabled by the Trump administration, is trying to unilaterally change an agreement that took months to reach. Israel is negotiating in bad faith, and Mr. Trump is supporting this bad faith. Innocent people are starved and bombed as a result.
There is also the plight of the Palestinians in Israeli prisons. Thousands of Palestinian prisoners/hostages remain in Israeli prisons. Many are subject to ongoing well-documented torture and abuse. These thousands of Palestinians are not counted. Their lives have no value in the eyes of Israel and its supporters. Israeli honoring of the ceasefire agreement ends their plight.
AHRC urges the Trump Administration to uphold its peace promise. The current Israeli escalation of war crimes and the ongoing Israeli weaponization of food, water, and medicine are resulting in avoidable deaths and suffering. The US can put a permanent end to this war but for political expediency is choosing not to.
‘The Trump administration promised peace and a permanent ceasefire but what we see is enabling Netanyahu to commit more atrocities,” said Imad Hamad, AHRC Executive Director. “President Trump by supporting the most extreme Israeli government is making peace impossible,” continued Hamad.
