The approval of a plan to expand Israel’s military operations in Gaza began to cause international political reactions. This Tuesday, the government of France said that “the Israeli plan of conquest of the Gaza Strip and its new military campaign in the Palestinian territory, said French French minister of Foreign Affairs Jean-Noël Barrot.
“It is unacceptable,” the Israeli government “violates humanitarian law,” said the minister. “The urgent is a high fire and unblocking access to humanitarian aid, Masivamante,” Barrot added.
In Latin America, Chile was one of the first countries to react. In Santiago, the Chilean government condemned “firmly” on Monday the decision adopted by the Israel security cabinet to expand its military operations in Gaza and denounced that, if specified, it would imply “a flagrant violation” of international law.
“Chile also recalls that a new forced displacement of the Gazatí population would constitute a crime against humanity in accordance with the Rome Statute,” said the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in a statement.
The Executive of Progressive Gabriel Boric, a recognized defender of the Palestinian cause, also expressed “his firm rejection” to the new humanitarian aid distribution plan announced by Tel Aviv, “initiative that contravenes fundamental humanitarian principles,” said the note of the Foreign Ministry.
“It makes no sense to negotiate,” says Hamas
Hamas declared on Tuesday that it is no longer a sense of negotiations with Israel for a truce in Gaza and urged the international community to stop the “Israeli hunger war against the Palestinian territory.
“It makes no sense to establish negotiations or consider new proposals of Alto El Fuego while continuing the War of Hunger and the War of Extermination in the Gaza Strip,” Basem Naim said, a senior official of the Palestinian Islamist movement, cited by the AFP agency.
