one of the most senior ministers in Israel’s government:

Now imagine a three front-war: China attacks Taiwan, Russia attacks Nato, Iran attacks Israel. The US would be overwhelmed. That's why it needs fully capable allies. Partial US retreat from Europe is a strategic necessity.

Newborn babies are freezing to death in Gaza because Israel is blocking the delivery of shelter and preventing reconstruction efforts after carpet bombing the enclave for two years. A 12-day-old baby named Haitham Abu Qass died of exposure to extreme cold on Tuesday, Gaza’s health ministry said, bringing the total number of infants known to have succumbed to hypothermia this winter to 11. On 21 January, three-month-old Ali Abu Zour, whose family were sleeping in a tent, died of hypothermia despite being taken to hospital to treat his symptoms. In December 2024, Jumaa Al-Batran (pictured) was among at least six babies to die of hypothermia in a two-week period. Israel has destroyed more than 83% of buildings in Gaza as part of its genocidal war, leaving around 1.5 million people to sleep in tents or makeshift shelters in temperatures as low as 6C. Israel’s government, which illegally controls all access points to Gaza, has refused to allow in caravans, temporary housing or building materials while also blocking large amounts of medical and food aid in violation of a so-called ceasefire agreement it signed with Hamas in October. It has also continued committing near-daily massacres, killing at least 488 people – including over 100 children – and injuring at least 1,350. Israeli forces have now slaughtered over 71,000 people in Gaza since October 2023, though the true number of deaths is feared to be far higher. The official toll only includes confirmed direct deaths from bombings and shootings and does not account for indirect deaths, such as those caused by disease. It also does not count people whose bodies are still under the rubble. Last month, some 65,000 households in the strip were affected by the severe winter storms, according to the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA). “Tents were blown away or damaged, homes collapsed under storm conditions, and personal belongings were soaked,” the office said.

❌CEASEFIRE VIOLATION: IDF troops identified two suspects who crossed the yellow line, carried out suspicious activities, and approached the troops in southern Gaza, posing an immediate threat. The IAF eliminated the suspects to remove the threat. In another incident in the area, IDF troops identified a terrorist who crossed the yellow line and approached the troops, posing an immediate threat. The troops eliminated the terrorist to remove the threat.

Gaza is drowning. Israel is intentionally torturing millions by delaying the entry of tents and other staples for physical survival. The decomposing bodies, the nonexistent sewage, the lack of housing and health, these are all the conscious perpetration of genocide.
