“Israel's latest attack on al-Shifa Hospital has shown that, rather than eliminating Hamas, Israel is attempting to eliminate anything that walks or breathes in Gaza. Palestinians have been displaced from their homes to schools, hospitals and other protected facilities that have nonetheless come under attack. What's more no distinction is being made between the Qassam Brigades, the armed wing of Hamas, and the government officers simply carrying out their duties. Anyone who works for a ministry under Hamas and their relatives is considered punishable by killing. As long as the US and other allies, who have warned against a military operation in Rafah, take no action to back their words, Israel will do as it pleases. In a change of tactic, the US is now being used as a scapegoat by Netanyahu for any future failures in eliminating Hamas in Gaza. “America is now being blamed for not committing to Israel's self-defence [in Rafah] and causing it to fail.”
