Israel demands immediate resignation of UN chief after his support to Palestinians 

Israel’s ambassador to the United Nations has demanded immediate resignation of on United Nation Secretary-General Antonio Guterres after his support to Palestinians.

He said that Guterres is not the right fit for the United Nations Chief’s position and he should immediately resign.

Earlier, the Israeli military spokesman’s statement showed no softening in position: Israel has been staunchly opposed to allowing fuel into the besieged enclave.

He said Israel opposes fuel deliveries because “Hamas uses it for its operational needs.” He did not provide evidence to back up that claim.

On the other hand, Humanitarian workers inside Gaza have said fuel is direly needed to provide healthcare and to power water pumps. UNRWA, the UN agency for Palestinian refugees, has said it will be forced to halt its operations tomorrow if does not receive more fuel.

Israel’s strike on Gaza hospital

For tens of thousands of families in Gaza, hospitals became a refuge from seemingly endless Israeli shelling. Then came the strike on Ahli Arab Hospital in central Gaza, which the health ministry said killed at least 500 people.

Residents who have been told to flee the north of the Palestinian territory had packed the courtyards and corridors of the territory’s overwhelmed hospitals in the belief they were a safe haven from the Israeli bombardments.

The Hamas government in Gaza termed the attack a “war crime”. Meanwhile, the health ministry said that “the hospital was housing hundreds of sick and wounded, and people forcibly displaced from their homes” because of other Israeli attacks.
