Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has delayed the evacuation of 150 sick and wounded Palestinian children from Gaza to the UAE, Israeli media reported on Sunday.
A source told Haaretz that Netanyahu made the decision in response to the killing of 12 Arab Druze children in the Israeli-occupied Golan Heights. Israel blamed the massacre on Hezbollah, while Hezbollah denied the accusation and said the children were hit with an Israeli air defense rocket.
Netanyahu’s decision to punish the sick and wounded children was denounced by the group Physicians for Human Rights, which called the move a “cruel game by the Israeli government with children’s lives.”
Last week, Haaretz reported that Netanyahu instructed his government to arrange transport of sick and wounded Palestinians from Gaza to a third country for treatment. The first plane was due to take off on Monday, but the flight has been canceled.
Netanyahu also previously canceled a plan to set up a field inside Israel to treat Gaza’s children. Some children have been evacuated through Egypt for medical care, but the Israeli capture of the Rafah border crossing on May 7 cut off that vital lifeline.
Israel’s genocidal campaign in Gaza has been a war on children, who make up about half of the Gaza Strip’s population. According to Gaza’s Media Office, 16,000 Palestinian children have been killed by the Israeli assault, and about 38,000 have been wounded.
One can only imagine how much the ZioNazis along with their White House but-boys (and girls, mustn't forget Dr. Jill & Ms. Jean-Pierre) are enjoying BB's little adventitious strokes of genius -here the torturing of injured children- … such exquisite titilation for their refined NeoConNazi palates.
Great timing for his visit with standing ovations, he could not ask for more.
And the US congress gives him another standing ovation.
They'll build a Vegas-style Sphere in DC where Netanyahu can headline in residence.
Mrs. Adelson will provide the residence. Carte Blanch for everything.
More theater of the absurd, these poor children now have to pay for a rocket attack they had nothing to do with.
Just more collective punishment. Why change now?
"Mr. Prime Minister, we need to move those children immediately !"
– "No, they'll be stone dead in a moment. Let's hold on a bit yet."
I am so sick and tired of the numbers still saying that 39,000 have been murdered by Israel.
Netanyahu came for a reason, he made sure he has the backing of the presidential candidates regardless who wins, and the full backing of congress, he got it, the millionaires club, called congress, could not jump high and fast enough up and down clapping standing ovations and applauding every single lie no matter how unbelievable his puke was. He got his blanc check to invade Iran. He can now escalade and provoke, and do in Gaza as he pleases.
The American elite is selling the American people like Zelensky and Scholz and other democracies are doing. They are robbing the wealth of their nations. It is really treacherous to govern against the interests of their people they are to serve.
16,000 Palestinian children have been killed by the Israeli assault
Which resulted in aid being cut off from Israel. Oh, it didn't?
