Israeli army Gaza withdrawal unlikely, risking endless conflict
“No one in the government has any intention for withdrawal from Gaza. Without withdrawal, there is no ceasefire, no agreement and no hostages release. Nobody in the government will let the army totally withdraw from Gaza, and this means war forever,” Levy told Al Jazeera.
Speaking from Tel Aviv, Levy said Israeli soldiers are being killed in Gaza and, despite this, “almost nobody is speaking about withdrawal”.
But with Hezbollah, things are clearer because if the group agrees to withdraw beyond the Litani River, “they understand – at least in the army – that continuing to fight will lead to nowhere because Hezbollah is too strong still.
“You cannot go and crush Hezbollah. I think the real question is, ‘Why don’t you adopt the same policy in Gaza because it makes sense now. Let’s go out.’
Rapporteur urges Israel’s UN membership suspension
“I do believe that the impunity that has been granted to Israel has allowed it to become a serial violator of international law,” Francesca Albanese, UN special rapporteur on the situation of human rights in the Palestinian territories, said at a news conference.
Albanese said she recommends the General Assembly consider the suspension of Israel’s credentials as a member of the UN until it ends violating international law and withdraws the “clearly unlawful” occupation.
“Israel, in the pursuit of realising Greater Israel, is attempting to reduce physically or spiritually … the presence of the Palestinian identity in the occupied Palestinian territory.”
