Israeli ground forces are getting closer to “the complete evacuation” of northern Gaza and residents will not be allowed to return home, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) has said, in what appears to be the first official acknowledgment from Israel it is systematically removing Palestinians from the area.

In a media briefing on Tuesday night, the IDF Brig Gen Itzik Cohen told Israeli reporters that since troops had been forced to enter some areas twice, such as Jabaliya camp, “there is no intention of allowing the residents of the northern Gaza Strip to return to their homes”.

International humanitarian law experts have said that such actions would amount to the war crimes of forcible transfer and the use of food as a weapon.

          No, it’s Biden’s fault. Why are you trying to deflect blame away?

          Just admit that you don’t care about Gazans.

            I care a lot about palestinians. Which is why Harris should have won. With her you have a chance to get improvement. With Trump things get worse.

            But in the end if the choice is between fascism and non fascism and you pick neither you are responsible for the fascism

      Americans won’t suffer anything like what Palestinian and Ukrainians (if they do lose).

      But they sure live ti be the center of attention.
