US senator's call to stop bombing Gaza

The American Democratic Party senator called for a stop to the Zionist regime's bombing of the population of Gaza. According to CNN, Elizabeth Warren wrote on Channel X on Friday that the war in the Gaza Strip is intensifying. The Massachusetts senator said: “Israeli airstrikes are destroying homes and public infrastructure in the Gaza Strip. Restrictions on the flow of humanitarian aid have made life even more difficult. Stop the bombing immediately." On the other hand, a number of pro-Palestinian protesters and opponents of the war demonstrated in Boston, the capital of Massachusetts, and asked Warren to take more action to stop Israel's crimes against the people of Gaza. About 100 protesters disrupted morning traffic on the bridge connecting Boston to Cambridge. They chanted: Cease fire now. The protesters held a sign that read: “The Jews say: cease fire now.” On Thursday, French Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Anne-Claire Legendre criticized Zionist settler violence against Palestinians living in the West Bank, calling it a "policy of terror." Claire Legendre said: "The purpose of this violence and bloodshed is the deliberate displacement of Palestinians, and Israel must protect West Bank civilians."

She also stressed that Israel should not decide the fate of Gaza and that the strip should be part of a Palestinian state. On Thursday evening, Venezuela said in a statement: "Israel committed a crime in response to criticism of the head of the Zionist regime, Isaac Herzog, by Latin American countries for opposing the massacre of Palestinians." The Venezuelan government said: "Sooner or later, Israel will stand trial under international law for these crimes." The Venezuelan statement said: “Caracas joins the Latin American countries that demand an immediate end to Israeli and Nazi aggression against the Palestinian people.” Meanwhile, the UN Children's Fund (UNICEF) stressed on Thursday evening: "Without a ceasefire, there will be no safe zones in the Gaza Strip." According to UNICEF, children will not feel safe unless the conflict is stopped and a ceasefire is established. UNICEF, while emphasizing the establishment of safe zones for sending and receiving humanitarian assistance in the Gaza Strip, considered the need for an agreement between the conflicting parties to define safe zones in the Gaza Strip. Philippe Lazzarini, head of the UN refugee agency, also said on Thursday that there were deliberate attempts to "paralyze" the organization's humanitarian work in the Gaza Strip. The UN agency announced that many of its services, including dozens of water wells, two hydroelectric dams and sewage pumping stations, were closed.

On October 7, 2023, Palestinian resistance forces launched a surprise operation called Al-Aqsa Storm from the Gaza Strip against the positions of the occupying Zionist regime, and this regime, with the help of the United States and most Western countries, began bombing medical centers and residential buildings in the Gaza Strip to take revenge and compensate for its defeat, as well as to stop the actions of resistance groups, and as a result of these criminal actions of the martyrs, more than 12 thousand Palestinians were killed, of which 4,710 were children and 3,160 women. Also, as a result of the Israeli regime's attacks on the Gaza Strip, 3,640 people went missing, of which 1,770 were children. These attacks also affected 29,800 Palestinians, 70% of whom were women and children. The bombing of the Gaza Strip and the killing of Palestinian women and children continue, while Western countries supporting the Zionist regime have vetoed any ceasefire resolution in the Security Council or, instead of trying to stop the killing and bombing of Palestinians, are seeking to pass resolutions to support Tel Aviv more.
