Israel’s Defence Minister Yaov Gallant has ordered the complete closure of the Gaza Strip, including a ban on the entry of food, water, fuel or access to electricity as Israel intensifies its bombardment of the besieged Strip in the wake of the surprise attack by the Palestinian resistance. His comments have drawn criticism for advocating collective punishment of Gaza’s entire civilian Palestinian population in breach of international law.


Israeli Defence Minister Yoav Gallant ordered an increase in intensity of airstrikes in the Gaza Strip.

Gallant said that the war Israel is fighting against Hamas is “a war for our future.”

He added: “Exacting a heavy price from the enemy is a necessary condition for our existence in the region.”

Gallant makes the comments during a visit to the Israeli Air Force’s underground command centre at the Israeli occupation forces headquarters in Tel Aviv.

      Well, many are not antiwar if you look at the bloods and crips, only a few are antiwar.

      That is why I made sure to post that antiwar.com is antiwar, I can’t use them as a news source on lemmy due to “left” bias stance.

        Wtf does the bloods and crips have to do with this lmao… are you OK?

        And how does not being pro-war make you biased towards the left? That’s the dumbest take I’ve ever seen. Is the right inherently pro-war according to you?
