At least seven far-right members of the Knesset, Israel’s parliament, are calling on the country’s defense minister to order the total destruction of northern Gaza’s food, water, and energy sources — most of which have already been obliterated by 15 months of relentless attacks — and the killing of any Palestinian who isn’t clearly surrendering to the attackers.
In a letter to Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz dated December 31, the lawmakers assert that the Israel Defense Forces’ (IDF) campaign to forcibly expel Palestinians from northern Gaza — which critics have called ethnic cleansing — “isn’t being done properly” and is not “achieving the war objectives as defined by the government, which is the dismantling of Hamas’ governing and military capabilities.”
According to a translation by international humanitarian law expert Itay Epshtain on Thursday, the letter calls on the IDF to:
- Destroy all energy sources including fuel, solar systems, generators, and power lines;
- Destroy all food sources including warehouses, water, and water pumps; and
- Lay siege and remotely kill everyone not flying a white flag of surrender.
