CLIMATE OF TERROR IN GAZA


After 30 days of relative calm, a climate of terror has once again gripped Gaza, with a second day of reported Israeli airstrikes targeting the enclave's civilian population. More than 400 people have already died in the initial airstrikes.


Prime Minister Netanyahu asserts that they will continue their attacks as long as Hamas does not release the hostages still in its possession. Hamas condemns the massacre and asserts that it remains willing to resume talks to enter the second phase of the peace plan adopted by all parties. This phase includes continuing the provisional truce and examining the possibilities of rebuilding the territory, which has become a heap of ruins.


The enclave's hospitals are overflowing with patients and lack medicines and other healthcare needs. On this second day of airstrikes, at least 30 civilian casualties were reported.


Everything seemed to be heading towards a safe path when the agreement was reached to begin the first phase of the peace plan, but the residents' hopes were dashed, and they began to count the victims, most of them lying on the ground wrapped in white cloths, as is the Muslim tradition.


Revenge and hatred are the expressions heard in the areas that have suffered the worst bombings. It is sad that the signal for revenge has returned, but in the current situation, it must be understood.


Netanyahu wants to continue the war. This is nothing new. His plans go beyond the release of the last hostages. His intention is to seize the territory to reunite it with the West Bank. It is a colonization operation that had long been conceived in Tel Aviv.


Marwan al-Hams, director of field hospitals at Gaza's Health Ministry, spoke with Al Jazeera Arabic about the grim healthcare available in Gaza, where hundreds of newly injured people have flooded into hospitals in recent days.


Gaza is an endless war designed to seize the territory. That is the goal of both the Prime Minister and the highest military authorities.
