Israel’s terrorist activities are growing exponentially, making all Americans complicit in their crimes. It ordered another mass expulsion of Palestinians from Khan Younis. It is imperative to address the grave concerns raised regarding Israel's military actions and the treatment of Palestinians.  

If the President does not immediately call for a ceasefire and the resumption of food, water, and fuel, he should resign, especially after his abysmal debate performance last week. Clearly, he is no match for the demonic Netanyahu, Prime Minister of Israel, who is capitalizing on Biden’s weakness. 

Israel's army has ordered a mass expulsion of Palestinians from Khan Younis, Gaza’s second-largest city, in preparation for another ground invasion. This action has resulted in the frantic evacuation of patients from the Gaza European Hospital, one of the last functioning medical centers in the region. The Palestinian Red Crescent Society has reported that at least eight people were killed and over 30 others were wounded in renewed strikes on southern Gaza. 

Freed Palestinian prisoners describe torture and degrading treatment in Israeli jails. On Monday, Israel freed the director of Gaza’s largest medical center after detaining him without charge for seven months. Dr. Muhammad Abu Salmiya of Al-Shifa Hospital said after his release that his Israeli captors broke his fingers and repeatedly struck him in the head as part of the daily torture he and other Palestinians endured. 

Dr. Muhammad Abu Salmiya: “The prisoners are undergoing extremely harsh conditions, from scarcity of food and drink, as well as physical torture. The prisoners are all facing brutal conditions right now. Hundreds of medical staff, including doctors, nurses, radiation specialists, and others, were targeted and are stuck in occupation army prisons being tortured."
