Gaza - Saba:
The Government Media Office expressed its rejection of the dangerous Israeli plan that seeks to impose a new mechanism for distributing humanitarian aid through centers under the control of the enemy army, subject to arbitrary security conditions.
This would transform aid from a neutral humanitarian effort into a tool for political blackmail and collective punishment.
In a statement issued on Monday, the government media warned of the repercussions of this plan, as it strips humanitarian work of its substance and constitutes a flagrant violation of the fundamental international principles of neutrality, independence, and impartiality. It also clearly contravenes the Fourth Geneva Convention, which prohibits an occupying power from exploiting humanitarian needs to achieve its military or political objectives.
The Office stressed that what the Israeli enemy authorities are trying to impose is not merely a distribution mechanism, but rather a perpetuation of the policy of siege and starvation, and the malicious use of aid as a tool of military and political pressure. This puts the lives of civilians—especially children, women, and the elderly—in direct danger, forces humanitarian work onto the occupation's agenda, and deepens the suffering of those forcibly displaced and deprived of the most basic necessities of life.
The Office also warned that what is happening constitutes a flagrant violation of international humanitarian law and sets a dangerous precedent for the exploitation of relief work for the enemy's purposes. This has been explicitly confirmed by international organizations in their statements, when they expressed their absolute refusal to engage in any scheme that does not adhere to universal humanitarian principles.
The Office commended all responsible positions that expressed their rejection of this malicious scheme, emphasizing that any aid distribution mechanism must be conducted through neutral international institutions and according to a system that guarantees fair and safe access to all those in need, free from any interference by the occupation or its unfair conditions.
The Office called on the international community, international and human rights organizations, the United Nations, the European Union, and all free people around the world to take immediate and effective action to pressure the occupation to completely lift the blockade on the Gaza Strip.
