The State of Palestine has issued a condemnation of what it described as “egregious actions” by Israel, alleging that at least 97 Palestinians have been killed and more than 230 injured since the start of the ceasefire on October 11.
Palestinian authorities accused Israel of “flagrant breaches of international humanitarian law” and “a blatant disregard for human life.” The statement claimed that the Israeli military had violated the truce at least 80 times, citing incidents of “direct gunfire targeting civilians, airstrikes, deliberate targeting of individuals and areas, the creation of ‘fire belts’ in civilian neighborhoods, and the arrest of civilians.”
“Israel’s actions unequivocally demonstrate its lack of interest in peace,” said Ambassador Tamer Almassri. “Instead, Israel seems hell-bent on continuing its relentless assault and genocide on defenseless Palestinian civilians. Such belligerent behavior by Israel and its fascist leaders proves, yet again, that it is an entity that thrives on warmongering and the systematic destabilization of the Middle East.”

The statement further accused Israel of escalating its campaign by closing all crossing points into Gaza, effectively blocking the entry of humanitarian aid. Palestinian officials described the move as “a calculated attempt to worsen already catastrophic conditions” and “a policy of collective punishment against the Palestinian people.”
“The closure of crossings for humanitarian aid is a direct attempt to starve and suffocate a population already on the brink of catastrophe,” the statement read.
Calling on world leaders to intervene, the State of Palestine urged the international community “to immediately hold Israel accountable for its grave breaches of the truce, its violations of international humanitarian law, and its ongoing genocidal crimes against the Palestinian people.”
“The world must act decisively to stop Israel’s relentless aggression and ensure justice for the victims,” the statement concluded.
