This development is not only a sign of Tel Aviv’s moral and political failure but also a stark warning of the region’s descent into an unprecedented humanitarian and security crisis.
The recent ground assault by the "Israeli" army on Gaza City, carried out in parallel with a new wave of aerial and artillery strikes, has laid bare a policy of demographic cleansing. Reports indicate that more than 400,000 residents have been forced into displacement—a trajectory reminiscent of the greatest tragedies of the 20th century. The offensive began precisely as international efforts were under way to broker a ceasefire and send humanitarian aid, a clear sign of Tel Aviv’s complete disregard for international norms.
The humanitarian crisis in Gaza is rapidly nearing the point of no return. Hospitals across the territory are shutting down one after another, leaving tens of thousands of wounded and sick at risk of death without access to medicine or fuel. Direct attacks on medical facilities, such as the Al-Rantisi children’s hospital, reflect a deliberate strategy to collapse the entire healthcare system. This catastrophe stands in clear violation of the Geneva Conventions and the fundamental principles of human rights.
Hidden Objectives; From War of Attrition to Demographic Engineering
On the surface, the operation is justified as weakening the resistance and freeing captives. Yet the evidence suggests a larger design: altering Gaza’s demographic fabric. Hardline politicians in Tel Aviv and their international backers have repeatedly stressed that "Israel’s" security can only be ensured by reducing or eliminating the Palestinian population. The use of tactics such as mass bombardment, instilling terror, and blockading food and medicine are, in practice, tools of this demographic engineering.
The project of pushing Gaza’s residents southward echoes old Zionist schemes for a “smaller, controllable Gaza.” But this strategy carries catastrophic consequences not only for Palestinians but for the region at large. The forced displacement of hundreds of thousands of people is laying the groundwork for a vast refugee crisis on Egypt’s borders and beyond—one that could severely destabilize the political and security balance of the Middle East.
Global Reactions; From Warnings to Action
The intensification of the assault has triggered a wave of international condemnation. Turkey has called it “a new stage of genocide,” while Norway and France have labelled it a blatant violation of international law. Canada has warned that the operation even jeopardizes the process of freeing captives. The President of Ireland has demanded "Israel’s" expulsion from the United Nations, and the European Union has, for the first time, imposed sanctions on Tel Aviv.
The key question, however, is whether these reactions will translate into effective measures or remain at the level of statements. Experience shows that without real and deterring pressure, "Israel" will continue its policies. Now more than ever, it is imperative that the UN Security Council live up to its responsibilities and, by applying enforcement mechanisms, prevent the continuation of demographic cleansing in Gaza.
An Uncertain Future; Strategic Risks for Tel Aviv
Benjamin Netanyahu, in a bid to preserve his political survival, has embarked on his greatest gamble—a gamble that endangers not only his own future but also the very existence of the Zionist regime. The ground invasion of Gaza, contrary to the claims of this regime’s leaders, does not guarantee security but instead intensifies the cycle of violence. The Palestinian resistance has demonstrated its ability to confront and wear down the occupying army, and this protracted war will impose heavy costs on Tel Aviv.
Moreover, the worsening humanitarian crisis further destroys "Israel’s" international standing. The mounting condemnations and the pressure of public opinion in the West—especially in Europe—are rapidly turning into serious demands for arms embargoes and political isolation. In other words, what is now unfolding in Gaza is not a strategic victory for Tel Aviv but an acceleration of the decline of the fabricated Zionist regime.
