He believes Netanyahu’s press conference might only intensify pressure on him to reach a deal, though Netanyahu appears unwilling to negotiate on known terms. Waxman also remarked that the prospects for a ceasefire deal seem nearly non-existent, given the lack of pressure on Netanyahu and Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar. He noted that recent mixed messages from President Biden and Secretary of State Antony Blinken have further complicated the situation.

DATE	DEVELOPMENT	CONTEXT	DESCRIPTION

COLLUSION & COMPLICITY First, the Gaza problem is not the same story as the Palestinian problem. The British and the French became the roots of the Gaza problem when their Suez company, that controlled the strategic Suez Canal, was nationalized in 1956 by the then-president of Egypt, Gamal Abdel Nasser. The two countries wanted the canal back but were eager to start a war with Egypt. They had asked the Israelis for help who attacked Egypt by invading and occupying Gaza . France and Britain are also the countries who laid in 1916 the foundation of the Palestinian problem that have led to the declaration of the British Arthur Balfour in 1917. These two countries are the first to have the leverage to change this part of the entire problem which the Palestinian problem is. The role of the United States is unrelated to the history of the Gaza problem but to the Palestinian problem as a whole that began with the recognition by Harry Truman on May 14, 1948, and eleven minutes after European Zionist migrants renamed historic Palestine. The complicity became deeper after the founding of AIPAC in the 1960s. The role of Germany has its roots in the Haavara deal, that German Ashkenazis struck with the Nazis in 1933 to have themselves migrated to what was then still British Mandatory Palestine. The role of the UAE, Bahrain and Morocco have their roots in the so-called Abraham "peace" accord that was mastermind in 2020 by Netanyahu and Trump's son-in-law, the orthodox Jew Jared Kushner. The "agreement" was mastermind to isolate the Palestinians from the Arabic world. The role of other reported countries are related to policies in favor of the Israelis. But in Gaza, people appear not to know when they ask "Where are the Arabs?" In 1995, the European Commission and the Israelis struck an association agreement that brought the Union into the position of collusion as it includes Israeli export that has its origin in the occupied territories. Since July 2024, some EU member states are calling for a review. On December 17, 2014, the General Court of the European Union had annulled on grounds of on factual imputations derived from the press and the internet, the listing of Hamas as a terrorist organization. On January 24, 2024, the EU listed Hamas leader, Yahya Sinwar on its terrorist list over the event on October 7th. Putting Sinwar on EU's terrorist list is a violation as he is a member of a recognized resistance, and was October 7th not a terrorist attack, both because of these international laws: The Law Of Belligerent Occupation says that occupied people have the right to form armed groups to resist occupation. The Protocol I of the Geneva Conventions refers to the right of self-determination of all people under foreign and colonial rule, and in the context of self-determination as detailed in the UNGA Resolution A/RES/3817. In addition, Netanyahu's declaration of war on Gaza from October 7, 2023 is both ill-conceived and a blatant violation of Article 51 of the UN Charter. Ill-conceived because an occupying war belligerent cannot declare war on a part of a country while that country is currently gradually under annexation. Then, Art. 51 is in international context, meaning the article concerns countries. Gaza is not a country but part of a gradually annexed country. Israelis have never lifted their self-declared war since 1967 with the remaining parties the Palestinians and Syria. How to declare war when one is already at war in all times (ref. Mark Regev in Jan. 2009).

DYSTOPIAN WAR

Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide
ADOPTED 09 December 1948	BY General Assembly resolution 260 A (III)
Article II
In the present Convention, genocide means any of the following acts committed with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial or religious group, as such: (a) Killing members of the group; (b) Causing serious bodily or mental harm to members of the group; (c) Deliberately inflicting on the group conditions of life calculated to bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part; (d) Imposing measures intended to prevent births within the group; (e) Forcibly transferring children of the group to another group.

Dystopia is often characterized by fear or distress, tyranny, inflicting environmental disaster, or other characteristics associated with a cataclysmic decline of a population, which is the issue about the Palestinians. These characteristics were found in the way how the Israelis brought the declaration of war into practice after the Hamas resistance attack on October 7, 2023.

In relation to Gaza, dystopian is adjective to or denoting an imagined society where there is great suffering or injustice.

In relation to the Palestinian people in Gaza, they have been an imagined society in which these people lead dehumanized, fearful, miserable lives. Exposing targeted people to condition of miserable life is when the war belligerent treats all that what is humanitarian as military objective such as aid supply of food, water, medicines, internet to hinder humanitarian communication, etc.

Dehumanization is when Palestinians in Gaza are treated below the level of being a human.

It is a dystopian war when the Israeli belligerent fractions Gaza into pieces to repeatingly force occupied people back and forth from one piece to another piece, or with the intention to uproot the people into one single section by declaring more fractions as "combat zone" to create a shrinking "safe zone".

ELIMINATING NGOs (= part of Israel's dystopian war)
DATE	DEVELOPMENT	CONTEXT	DESCRIPTION

ELIMINATING UNWRA (= part of Israel's dystopian war) The United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA) was established as a autonome organ of the United Nations General Assembly on 8 December 1949 and became operational on 1 May 1950. It was established to provide relief to all refugees resulting from the 1948 conflict; this initially included Jewish and Arab Palestine refugees inside the State of Israel until the Israeli government took over this responsibility in 1952. The mandate of the UN body makes it unique that it can register Palestinians as refugee throughout generations, including of those who were not registered in the early 1950s. This is the real obstacle to the process of the Israeli Zionization of the remaining parts of historic Palestine, Gaza and the West Bank. On January 11, 2024, the Advocate General Emiliou of the Court Of Justice of the European Union said that Palestinian applicants for refugee status can claim that UNRWA’s protection has ‘ceased’ in the light of the general living conditions prevailing in the Gaza Strip. UNWRA has NOT ceased but has been under Israeli siege to achieve their goal to eliminate its operations in Gaza in order to strip Palestinians from their refugee status. The Israelis use phrases like "Hamas was embedded" or the targeted object was used by Hamas. Biden's pier There is reasonable ground to believe that Biden's pier was not meant for humanitarian purpose. In November 2023, there was a first contact between the Israelis and Cyprus. Nikosia claimed that it offered the Israelis a humanitarian corridor between Larnaca and Gaza. Reports do exist which reads that a Israeli unit was flown to Cyprus. Some of these reports are claiming that they landed on the British air force base. We are looking for these reports to add them to the month of reporting. Tel Aviv denies these reports. Then,, trucks with Israeli license plate leaving the pier where seen on collected videos and photos that prompts us to link Biden's pier to the covert operation 'Arnon' carried out in Nuseirat refugee camps on June 8, 2024.to free four captured settlers. During that operation, the Israelis used a unmarked white truck and disguised themselves as human aid workers, which is committing perfidy. The US had claimed that the pier will be removed permanently because of weather. Meteorologists are able to forecast weather days and even a week ahead.

Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide
ADOPTED 09 December 1948	BY General Assembly resolution 260 A (III)
Article II
In the present Convention, genocide means any of the following acts committed with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial or religious group, as such: (a) Killing members of the group; (b) Causing serious bodily or mental harm to members of the group; (c) Deliberately inflicting on the group conditions of life calculated to bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part; (d) Imposing measures intended to prevent births within the group; (e) Forcibly transferring children of the group to another group.

In relation to Gaza, dystopian is adjective to or denoting an imagined society where there is great suffering or injustice.

In relation to the Palestinian people in Gaza, they have been an imagined society in which these people lead dehumanized, fearful, miserable lives. Exposing targeted people to condition of miserable life is when the war belligerent treats all that what is humanitarian as military objective such as aid supply of food, water, medicines, internet to hinder humanitarian communication, etc.

Dehumanization is when Palestinians in Gaza are treated below the level of being a human.

It is a dystopian war when the Israeli belligerent fractions Gaza into pieces to repeatingly force occupied people back and forth from one piece to another piece, or with the intention to uproot the people into one single section by declaring more fractions as "combat zone" to create a shrinking "safe zone".

In relation to Gaza, dystopian is adjective to or denoting an imagined society where there is great suffering or injustice.

Forced removal

We have seen that the Israelis are constantly speaking about "evacuation" when they want an selected area empty to destroy it.

But, evacuation is a process of emptying a building, a place, an area in time of peace to save people's life when there is a calamity like flooding, wildfire or earth quake. The call to people to leave carries a humanitarian character.

This is not the case when the caller is a war belligerent and tells people to follow the order to leave while exposing them to life endangering threat, as the place where they live have been selected to be attacked. We've seen such kind of "evacuation" in Gaza. It is suppose to be called "clearing the area"..

In Gaza, it is about people who are forced removed first to become displaced people.
