Palestinian envoy to UK flays world’s silence over Israeli attacks, fears 2nd ‘Nakba’ in Gaza
“Invading Israeli tanks are in #Gaza to force the mass expulsion of Palestinians from their homes,” Zomlot wrote on X, sharing video footage purportedly belonging to a group of Palestinians forcibly displaced from the northern part of the blockaded Gaza Strip.
Recalling his previous warnings that Israel is planning a second ‘Nakba’, the ambassador added: “And the world is still debating whether to call for a #CeasefireForGaza?”
The Nakba, or ‘catastrophe’, refers to the exodus of Palestinians from their lands in 1948 when Israel was created.
Israel has launched relentless air and ground attacks on the Gaza Strip since a cross-border attack by Hamas a month ago.
At least 10,328 Palestinians have been killed, including 4,237 children and 2,719 women, according to the Health Ministry in the blockaded enclave.
