Justice for Palestine condemns
in the strongest terms Israel’s devastating bombardment of
Gaza that has killed over 200 Palestinians, including many
children, in the early hours of this morning. This attack
deliberately targeted civilian areas including schools
sheltering displaced people and refugee camps, shattering
the ceasefire that had been in place since January. It’s
been widely reported that members of Netanyahu’s government
have actively opposed the ceasefire and pressured for its
end, leading to this latest deadly
attack.
This assault comes after 16 days
of Israel’s total blockade of humanitarian aid to Gaza,
where Palestinians are already facing severe shortages of
food, water, and medical supplies. The targeting of civilian
infrastructure and deliberate blocking of humanitarian aid
are just the latest in a long series of documented war
crimes and violations of international law that Israel has
committed with impunity.
We call on the
New Zealand government to immediately condemn these attacks
and implement sanctions against Israel, in accordance with
international law.
