Attack on ‘safe zones’ keeps repeating itself, says historian.
Following the Israeli air strike in Deir el-Balah near a hospital that had been designated as “safe” for Palestinians to bring their children to get a polio vaccination, Ilan Pappe, an Israeli historian, says: “We’ve been here before.
“When supposedly safe zones for Palestinians in Gaza were bombed, this keeps repeating itself. An Israeli prime minister is adamant in continuing a situation of the war as he would see it as long as he can until the next elections in Israel in 2026,” Pappe told Al Jazeera.
“He would do everything possible to make sure that there are no conditions or circumstances for ending the Israeli genocidal attack on Gaza.”
He added that the “cynical attack” that just occurred in Deir el-Balah indicates that this “inhuman cynicism would be perpetrated again and again” unless there is external intervention – Al Jazeera report.
