In the Gaza strip, flour is missing, people no longer have bread. It is the tragic alarm launched by the United Nations. In the battered Palestinian territory for the civilian population the nightmare of hunger has returned. For a month, the entry to humanitarian aid has been blocked, while the Israeli army continues with its massive advance. Hamas rejected the latest Israeli proposal for the ceasefire and the liberation of the hostages still in the hands of the militiamen in the strip. And Israel’s reaction was very hard. Alemno 40 people were killed in the air raids that hit the center and southern strip.
To be hit was also a hospital managed by the UN agency for refugees in Jabaliya, Where there would be 19 victims, especially women and children. On 23 March, as reported by Medici without borders, the Israeli forces had hit the Nasser hospital in Khan Youunis, in the south of the Striscia – the largest hospital still working in Gaza, which provides assistance to people with serious burns and trauma, infants and pregnant women – seriously damaging the building and causing several wounded. Days ago, following the heavy attacks conducted by the Israeli forces in Gaza, indiscriminately affecting a large number of civilians, including members of the United Nations staff, iUN secretary general Antonio Guterres made the difficult decision to reduce the presence of operators on the field, Despite the highly high humanitarian emergency.
Meanwhile, the Israeli premier Benjamin Netanyahu arrived undisturbed in Budapest, Hungary, to meet Prime Minister Viktor Orban, who welcomed him in spite of the arrest warrant against him by the International Criminal Court of Aja. In a joint press conference, Orban announced the retirement of Hungary from the CPI. “I was the first minister who signed the document of adhesion to the International Criminal Court” in 2001, said the Hungarian Prime Minister, adding, however, that today it is no more than an impartial court, but a “political court”. From here, The decision to withdraw his country. A decision that obviously obtained the applause of Netanyahu, but to which the Court did not fail to respond through the spokesman Fadi El Abdallah, who recalled the obligation to collaboration of Hungary with the CPI.
For the Israeli Premier it is the first trip to Europe since the CPI issued the international arrest warrant – in November 2024 – For Netanyahu and the former defense minister Yoav Gallant for war crimes and against humanity. According to the Court, Prime Minister and Minister acted consciously and deliberated – taking on a personal responsibility – to prevent humanitarian aid from the population of Gaza, violating international humanitarian law and causing terrible suffering to civilians. Small arrests were also detached from the CPI against three Hamas leaders. Last February Netanyahu went to meet Donald Trump in Washington, in the United States, who never recognized the international criminal court (exactly like Israel, and other states including Russia, India, China and Turkey).
