Philippe Lazzarini, the commissioner-general of the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA), said last week that the conditions on the ground in Gaza are so poor that the coastal enclave is “not really a habitable place anymore.”
Russian President Vladimir Putin said during his lengthy news conference last week that no sensible person can compare the conflict in Gaza with Russia’s approach to Ukraine.
The Israel Defense Forces, or IDF, have been forced to acknowledge publicly some troubling ruthlessness by its troops in Gaza ranging from chanting racist slogans to intentionally destroying a toy store with no military significance.
