Report: Israeli settlers, IDF team up to destroy Gaza aid amid ‘full-blown famine’

Video has emerged in recent weeks of Israeli West Bank settlers attacking and destroying aid trucks headed for the besieged Gaza Strip, reportedly with the acquiescence and even active participation of the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) and police.

“The settler groups use a web of publicly accessible WhatsApp groups to track the trucks and coordinate attacks,” the Washington Post reported. ”Groups of settler youth are tailing relief convoys, setting up checkpoints and interrogating drivers. In some cases, far-right attackers have ransacked and burned trucks and beaten Palestinian drivers, leaving at least two hospitalized.”


“Working off what they say are tips from Israeli soldiers and police, in addition to the public, members pore over photos to work out which vehicles might be carrying aid to Gaza and mobilize local supporters to block them.”


One Palestinian driver suffered a broken nose, ribs and vertebrae after being attacked by a group of Israeli settlers who asked him whether he was “a Jew or Arab.” The driver’s vehicle was burned and his $200,000 worth of goods was destroyed.

“It’s not our job to stop [Israeli settlers], it’s our job to protect them,” said one female IDF soldier, defending the military’s failure to stop the attacks.


The World Food Program reports northern Gaza is in a state of “full-blown famine,” with food scarcity spreading south.

“I’m happy for every truck that doesn’t enter Gaza,” said 23-year-old Yosef de Bresser, a leader of an extremist settler group. “I’m also happy to see it catch fire.”

🗣 NATO does not intend to deploy troops to Ukraine, the alliance's Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg has said in an interview with the Economist.

“We provide training, we provide weapons, ammunition to Ukraine, but we will not be directly involved from NATO territory in combat operations over or in Ukraine.... We don't have any intention to send NATO ground troops into Ukraine because our purpose... has been two-fold, to support Ukraine as we do, but also to ensure that we don't escalate this into a full scale conflict,” The media quotes Stoltenberg as saying.

Ukraine conference in Switzerland will be 'propaganda exercise' to cover up Zelensky's illegitimacy - analyst

Russian President Vladimir Putin “is correct” when he says that the goal of the upcoming so-called Ukraine peace conference in Switzerland is to try to confirm the legitimacy of Volodymyr Zelensky to the Western community, Christopher C. Black, international criminal lawyer and political commentator, told Sputnik.

"It is a propaganda exercise to try to cover up the fact the Kiev regime is not legitimate. Of course legitimacy cannot be assured by statements by supporters of an illegitimate regime and those who arranged the coup d'etat of 2014," Black pointed out.


As for Zelensky, he "has never been a legitimate president of Ukraine," the political commentator argued. According to him, the last legitimate president of Ukraine is Viktor Yanukovych, "who was overthrown in the NATO-orchestrated coup of 2014" and "never served out his term."

"So that when the Kiev coup regime conducted subsequent elections they could not be considered free and fair by any standards in the world. They were all rigged to maintain the coup regime in power under different figures or puppets," the analyst said.
