No one seems capable of stopping Benjamin Netanyahu and the Israeli troops in their offensive on the Gaza Strip, not even in their moment of greatest weakness on the international scene after the ruling of the International Court of Justice (ICJ) and the increasingly frequent messages from countries around the world to stop this invasion that already leaves nearly 36,000 dead in 233 days of bombings and attacks.

One of the countries that is most firmly asking Israel for a change in its strategy is Spain, although other countries such as Brazil, Chile, Colombia and Venezuela have joined the calls for Israeli troops to abide by the decision of the ICJ, which this Friday asked stop offensive in Rafah “immediately”. The Minister of Foreign Affairs, Jose Manuel Albaresrecalled that these measures are “mandatory”, while the Minister of Defense, Margaret Robleshas gone so far as to describe Israel’s attacks as “authentic genocide“.

Following these words, the Israeli embassy in Spain has published a statement through its X (Twitter) account in which they regret the words of Robles, whom they accuse of having “made the false and unfounded story of the terrorist organization Hamas.” “Israel faces a cruel enemy that uses its population as human shields and that still holds 125 Israelis hostage,” they defend.

Meanwhile, Israel has agreed with the United States and Qatar to resume negotiations to address a possible truce with Hamas, talks that stopped on May 10 and have been stalled for months without agreements that would allow the offensive to do nothing but grow. Previously, the Secretary of State of the United States, Antony Blinken, asked the Israeli Minister of War Cabinet, Benny Gantz, not to launch a large-scale operation on Rafah, a request to which, once again, they have turned a deaf ear.

This Sunday, it is expected that 200 aid trucks enter the Gaza Strip, including four fuel trucks. All help is little in a Rafah that asks for resources to treat injured patients, as the Kuwait hospital in Rafah reminded the WHO, which is the only medical complex in the area capable of treating them.

Far from abiding by the ICJ resolution, Israel’s reaction has been to insist that its actions do not create “living conditions that could lead to destruction of the Palestinian civilian populationtotally or partially”, according to its Ministry of Foreign Affairs, which calls the accusations of South Africa, a country that sued them before the court in The Hague of committing genocide in the Gaza Strip, “false, repugnant and outrageous”.

Arrest warrants, recognition of the Palestinian State…

To all this we must add that, during this week, the prosecutor of the International Criminal Court (ICC), Karim Khanhas requested arrest warrants against Benjamin Netanyahu, Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant, and several senior Hamas officials for war crimes and crimes against humanity. Khan argues that Israeli officials are using starvation as a “method of war” against civilians and “intentional murder.”

“My office maintains that the evidence we have collected, including interviews with survivors and witnesses, authenticated video, photo and audio material, satellite images and statements from the group of alleged perpetrators, show that Israel has intentionally and systematically deprived to the civilian population in all parts of Gaza with items essential for human survival,” Khan said last Monday.

It is also worth remembering the joint decision of Spain, Ireland and Norway of recognize the Palestinian state, a message that did not sit well with Israel and caused it to call its ambassadors from these three countries for consultations. “Israel will not remain silent in the face of those who undermine its sovereignty and endanger its security,” Katz warned, threatening “more serious consequences” for these countries.

Despite everything, dozens of civilians died this Saturday due to Israeli bombings on the Gaza Strip, an operation in which Israel claims to have killed alleged militants in Jabalia. At least four civilians were killed in an Israeli airstrike on a residential apartment in the Nuseirat refugee camp.
