On Saturday, April 12, the Israeli army announced that forces of the Golani Brigade, the 188th Brigade and the 36th Division had completed the fence of Rafah, the southern city of the Border Strip with Egypt, and the establishment of the “Morag Axis”, a corridor that is fortifying and that cuts the Gaza Strip from east to west, north of the city.
At the same time, the Israeli army indicated that it will expand its operations in most The Gaza Strip: “Soon, operations will extend to other areas and most of the territory of Gaza. This is the last chance to dismantle Hamas and free all hostages, which will end the war,” Israeli Minister Israel Katz, Israel Katz on Saturday.
While Israel has incorporated Rafah into his damping zone and prepares to empty the south of its entire population, as he had already tried to do at the north end of the strip, as part of the plan “Famine and extermination“, condemning any Palestinian who refuses into exile, the Israeli army has begun to project the forces of the 36 division towards Khan YoungHell”From Netanyahu, this new genocidal offensive aims to concentrate the population of the Strip in the so-called Al-Mawasi humanitarian zone. In essence, it is not more or less than establishing a kind of concentration camp over the entire area and parking there to the entire Palestinian population, before proceeding to its deportation or extermination.
Throughout the weekend, the Israeli army issued a series of evacuation orders aimed at several neighborhoods of Khan Younis, asking residents to go to Al-Mawasi. On Sunday, some neighborhoods of the Nuseirat region were also evacuated, which increases the fears that Israeli forces can divide the enclave into two north of Khan Younis. At the same time, the bombings continue, especially in the north, where Israeli forces attacked one of the last hospitals in operation of the strip.
At the same time, the Israeli army is building vast “security areas” in territory controlled by the army, which the NGO breaking the silence describes as “zones of death of enormous proportions” within which soldiers can shoot anyone who enters their field of vision. In other words, the Palestinians who do not abandon the annexed territories to go to Al-Mawasi are systematically executed.
As the NGO points out, “We have found that approximately 48% of the territory of Gaza is located within the extended containment zone. But if we add the displacement orders, we reach 65% of the Gaza Strip. Not counting Rafah’s additional territories that the Government intends to recover or the evacuations of recent days ”. Ultimately, these territories will probably be under the control of an Israeli military dictatorship, a first step towards the recolonization of Gaza, interrupted in 2005.
While Israel expands its genocidal operations with the explicit objective of annihilating the Palestinian people, solidarity movements with Palestine have a crucial role to play in Western countries and must face their respective imperialisms, which constantly assemble the Israeli army. While divisions between Trump and European countries arise, French president Emmanuel Macron tries to return a progressive varnish to French imperialism, anxious to recover influence in the Middle East, and has said that he prepares to recognize the state of Palestine, taking advantage of the panic that Trump’s plan has caused in the reactionary regimens of Al-Sisi in Egypt and Abdullah II in Jordan.
Macron cannot be trusted or the French leaders when they did not hesitate to propose to Israel, in October 2023, to involve the forces of the coalition against the Islamic State together with the FDI in the war. The change in the opportunistic position of French imperialism only aims to strengthen the ties between France and the reactionary regimes of the region that have collaborated with the State of Israel for decades, while restoring the colonial status quo that prevailed before October 7, within the framework of the solution of two states.
At the same time, the proportional mobilizations charge impulse in Morocco, Jordan and Syria. They can play an absolutely decisive role to put an end to the genocide and avoid the execution of Trump’s and Netanyahu plans, fighting their own autocrats who have constantly collaborated with Israel at the expense of the Palestinian people.
