Le cessez-le-feu n’est pas la fin — c’est le début
Summary
Friends of the Earth International states that the ceasefire in Gaza does not end the genocide or ecocide, but is merely a pause in the ongoing erasure of the Palestinian people. The organization highlights the scale of destruction in Gaza, the intensification of military operations in the West Bank, and the long-term impact of the 19-year blockade. It demands that governments stop arms exports to Israel, support Gaza's reconstruction based on Palestinian sovereignty, and respect International Criminal Court obligations.
Key insights
- The organization asserts that the ceasefire is not a declaration of peace, justice, or freedom, but rather a pause in the ongoing genocide and ecocide of the Palestinian people and their land.
- Following the ceasefire, Israel initiated a large-scale military operation in the West Bank, particularly in the north, and installed over 898 checkpoints and gates to separate towns and villages.
- The 19-year blockade of the Gaza Strip has deprived 2.3 million people of access to electricity, medical supplies, and drinking water, creating an unlivable zone that will be further aggravated by the war's destruction.
- Friends of the Earth International demands that governments cease exporting weapons, military assistance, and spare parts to Israel, and provide financial support for Gaza's reconstruction based on Palestinian sovereignty.
