I condemn Minister Smotrich’s comments proposing annexation of land in the West Bank.
Annexation only undermines the prospects for peace, would lead to greater instability and would be illegal under international law. The Israeli government must reject this.
On 10 November, Israeli authorities blocked, without explanation, the medical evacuation of eight children and their caretakers from Gaza who are in need of medical care, including a two-year-old with leg amputations, to the MSF hospital in Jordan. We strongly denounce this decision.
“It's utterly shocking and outrageous that children who need essential treatment are being blocked by Israel from leaving Gaza. Israel’s denial of urgent medical evacuations defies reason and humanity,” says Moeen Mahmood, MSF country director in Jordan.
In recent months, MSF applied for 32 children and caretakers to be medically evacuated from Gaza to Jordan. Only 6 were allowed to leave. Lengthy procedures and unexplained denials block the provision of medical treatment for children who have been severely injured in Gaza.
The healthcare system in Gaza has been dismantled, meaning those in need of specialised medical care have nowhere to go. According to WHO, there are at least 14,000 people in need of medical evacuation. Over 43,000 people have been killed in Gaza and 100,000 injured since 7 October 2023.
MSF calls on the Israeli authorities to ensure medical evacuations for Palestinians in need of medical care, including their caregivers, while ensuring that all patients and their caregivers are guaranteed a safe, voluntary and dignified return to Gaza.
If it can be proved that
it's not genocide
that would be a huge relief.
It would mean that it's only
a huge massacre,
mass killing
and widespread slaughter
In which case
it would be OK.
We've engaged with the Prime Minister's Office regarding the Prime Minister's statement on the incidents in Amsterdam.
It’s critical that government decisions are based on verified facts and an evidence-driven approach. Basing decisions on facts—not assumptions—ensures actions are grounded in reality and not influenced by misinformation.
While violence is never acceptable, accountability must be assigned fairly and accurately. Decisions made in haste or based on false information can have serious consequences, damaging public trust and hindering progress. Misinformation and unjust accusations only serve to deepen divisions and undermine credibility.
By committing to transparency and evidence-based conclusions, we safeguard both justice and the integrity of our decision-making.
We will have more to say soon.
Immigration is not the reason that you can’t get a hospital appointment, it’s the reason you can get one.
Please repost for all the people who can’t seem to grasp that.
