Israel Accused of Ethnic Cleansing in Gaza

Israel's military actions in northern Gaza have been condemned as a systematic campaign of ethnic cleansing, with reports indicating that civilians are being denied basic human rights, including food, water, and medical assistance. The Committee to Protect Journalists highlights that the Israeli regime has effectively barred independent media from documenting these events, claiming that the attacks on journalists serve to obscure the realities of the situation. The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) have acknowledged plans for a complete evacuation of northern Gaza, stating that no residents will be allowed to return to their homes. This strategy has drawn criticism from human rights groups, who argue it could constitute war crimes due to forced displacement. Former Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn has labeled these actions as a 'textbook definition of ethnic cleansing'. As humanitarian access dwindles, fears of famine and disease are rising among the remaining population in the region.
