Ex-defense chief drops bombshell claims about Israel's actions in Gaza
Former Israeli defense minister **Moshe Yaalon** makes serious accusations about military operations in Gazaʼs northern region. His statements trigger strong responses from government officials and raise questions about future plans
Moshe Yaalon‚ ex-defense minister and once-trusted ally of Benjamin Netanyahu‚ has made serious claims about military actions in Gaza; raising eye-brows across political spectrum
I am compelled to warn about what is happening there and is being concealed from us. At the end of the day‚ war crimes are being committed
The former army chief – who served under Netanyahu about 8 years ago – points to concerning developments in northern Gaza: several towns dont exist anymore and some officials want to clear-out Palestinian population (which goes against international rules)
Gideon Saʼar‚ foreign minister and right-wing party head‚ fired back at these accusations; stating that every-thing follows legal standards. Meanwhile Netanyahuʼs Likud party called statements “slanderous lies“
The situation gets more complex as Housing Minister Yitzhak Goldknopf recently backed plans to re-build settlements in Gaza – something that hasnt existed since early-2000s. This comes after the conflict started with Hamasʼ attack last fall which killed about 1‚200 people and led to over 250 hostage-takings
- Beit Lahiya area is empty
- Beit Hanoun shows major damage
- Jabaliya faces intense operations
The ICC recently put out arrest warrants for Netanyahu and his ex-defense chief for possible war-crimes‚ while Gazaʼs humanitarian crisis grows – with most of its people forced to move and death toll reaching over 44‚000
