Palastine Ambassador in Zimbabwe, Dr Tamer Almassri has strongly condemned the latest Israel’s military expansion into the Gaza Strip.
Said Ambassador Almassri in a statement:
” The Israeli forces now exert control over 70% of the entire Gaza Strip, leaving barely 30% of the enclave, a fraction of already devastated land for more than two million people.
The accelerating assault on Palestinian life is not in isolation, but as part of a deliberate, coordinated campaign by the Israeli fascist leadership to erase the Palestinian people from their homeland.”
Ambassador Almassri said Israel’s onslaught on Gaza has claimed the lives of over 73 000 people.
“Israel’s ongoing genocidal war on Gaza has, since October 2023, claimed the lives of more than 73,000 people and left more than 173,000 others injured. Approximately 90% of Gaza’s infrastructure has been destroyed schools, hospitals, water systems, roads, and homes,” he said.
Ambassador Almassri also condemned settler terrorism in the West which he said has escalated to unprecedented levels.
“The State of Palestine also condemns settler terrorism and violence in the West Bank which has escalated to unprecedented levels, with the United Nations recording an average of six attacks per day in 2026. These organized campaigns which include arson, shootings, and village raids supported by fascist Israeli leaders aims to intimidate Palestinians and displace communities to pave the way for de facto land annexation.
“We call on all states and multilateral institutions to take practical and enforceable measures to halt forced displacement, to ensure the protection of civilian life, and to implement comprehensive sanctions against the Israeli state for its ongoing violations of international humanitarian law.”
