THE international community must force Israel to face justice, cease all attacks with immediate effect and allow humanitarian aid into Gaza.

The Malaysian Humanitarian Aid and Relief (Mahar) said the brutal actions of a country must not be normalised.

“It is time we brought Israel to justice and rejected the narrative of a two-state solution that simply condones land grabbing, apartheid treatment and ongoing genocidal attacks with the support of world powers," Mahar honorary adviser Nurul Izzah Anwar said

She said the Israeli regime's genocidal attacks have entered its eighth month, and as of June, an estimated 138,000 Palestinians have been killed.

The latest attacks on the Al-Awda School in Abasan claimed dozens of lives and injured hundreds of others.

A few days after the massacre, the Israeli regime again attacked the Mawasi camp in Khan Younis and Shati camp in Gaza City, she said.

Izzah said the killing of civilians, especially children, is an act that goes beyond all boundaries of humanity.

"Israel has blatantly used starvation and forced displacement as weapons of war – violating all forms of basic humanity against civilians in Gaza."

She said Gaza was devastated with 90% of its buildings destroyed and health services paralysed.

"The humanitarian aid route through Rafah is closed, leaving Gazans short of food and medicine.

"The spread of infectious diseases exacerbates an already severe humanitarian crisis," said the prime minister’s daughter.

For the past 57 years, Izzah said Israel has evicted thousands of Palestinians from their land and built illegal settlements on the land inhabited only by Israeli settlers.

“Palestinians are entitled to equal rights and we must return to them a sovereign state, as recognised by 145 of the 193 member states of the United Nations.

"Israel's brutal actions involving land grabs, illegal settlements, and evictions have resulted in systematic human rights violations against the Palestinian people.

"Military attacks, never-ending land grabs, economic sanctions and infrastructure damage make it even more difficult for Palestine to form a stable and functional state.

"It is time we brought Israel to justice and rejected the narrative of a two-state solution that simply condones land grabbing, apartheid treatment and ongoing genocidal attacks with the support of world powers," added the PKR vice-president. – July 17, 2024.
