The Euro-Mediterranean Human Rights Monitor has accused the United States of providing political cover that allows Israel to perpetuate genocide in the Gaza Strip and impose a “slow death” on the civilian population.

In a statement published on Sunday, the Geneva-based organisation said US support has enabled Israel to maintain the status quo in Gaza, despite the catastrophic humanitarian situation. It argued that Washington has effectively made any progress towards a ceasefire conditional on the return of the last body from Gaza, a position the group described as “shameful complicity” in ongoing crimes.

The Monitor said such US-backed conditions contribute directly to continued ceasefire violations, the sustained siege, mass displacement of civilians, and the destruction of what remains of homes and livelihoods across the Gaza Strip.

It stressed that “the fate of more than two million people in Gaza should never be tied to political or military conditions that may be difficult, or even impossible, to fulfil on the ground,” adding that fundamental human rights must be guaranteed “immediately and unconditionally”.

The organisation said the scale of devastation in Gaza, combined with the systematic destruction of search-and-rescue equipment and emergency vehicles, has made fulfilment of Israeli conditions for progress on the ceasefire extremely difficult. It said these conditions are being used as a pretext to prolong the siege and deepen humanitarian suffering.

The Monitor added that US support for Israel in this context reinforces an illegitimate conflation between negotiation processes and guaranteed human rights. It said such rights must be implemented without conditions, compromises or political exploitation, regardless of the circumstances.

Keir Starmer objects to criticism of the IDF. He asks how could anyone object to them starving people to death, forced marches like the Nazis did, bombing Gaza's hospitals and universities, mass-murdering journalists, healthworkers and starving people queuing for food, killing and raping prisoners and murdering children. He calls for people to stop obstructing his genocide for Israel. — Keir Starmer objects to criticism of the IDF.

The Israeli settlement watchdog Peace Now has called for the dismissal of the Israeli army’s Central Command chief, accusing him of supporting settler attacks against Palestinians in the occupied West Bank.

In a statement, Peace Now demanded the removal of Major General Avi Bluth, who oversees the Central Command responsible for the West Bank, explaining that he acts as a representative of the “Hilltop Youth” settler group. The movement described the group as responsible for attacks on Palestinian civilians and the seizure of their land following forced displacement, in order to establish illegal settlement outposts.

Lior Amichai, the director general of Peace Now, said Bluth was cooperating with settlers and called on Israeli Chief of Staff Eyal Zamir to dismiss him immediately.

The call followed the broadcast of an investigative report on the programme Zman Emet on Israeli public broadcaster Kan 11, which examined the establishment of new hilltop settlement outposts in the West Bank.

Amichai said Bluth had “effectively turned the Israeli army into an auxiliary force for establishing illegal Jewish terrorist outposts throughout the occupied territories”.

He described the commander as “a representative of the ‘Hilltop Youth’ terrorist group in an IDF uniform”, urging the army chief to “act without delay and terminate Bluth’s command immediately”.

According to the investigation, evidence was uncovered pointing to coordination and cooperation between Bluth and the founders of the settlement outposts.

The Israeli army plans to arm about 10,000 reserve soldiers with firearms that will be kept permanently in their homes, a step described as a lesson drawn from the Oct. 7, 2023 events, local media said Sunday, Anadolu reports.

According to the daily Yedioth Ahronoth, the move focuses on Division “David” (96), a formation established about a year ago that relies on older reservists – typically ages 40 to 60 – who volunteer to return to service after completing their reserve obligations.

The soldiers “will receive an M4 or upgraded M16 rifle, magazines, a combat vest and a helmet,” delivered to their homes to enable immediate call-up to their battalion sector in the event of an emergency, the paper said. The weapons would be stored in large safes provided by the army.

“Rifles to be kept at home year-round, aiming to dramatically cut response times in future emergencies,” it added.

Under the plan, the reservists would wear uniforms only for several weeks a year, meaning the rifles would remain in their personal possession most of the time while they are civilians, according to the report.

Israeli military officials cited the Oct. 7 events as a pivotal lesson, marking a significant shift from prewar policy, when many soldiers, including combat troops, were barred from taking weapons home over concerns about theft or safety incidents during leave, the paper said.

Israel has about 400,000 reserve soldiers, according to Yedioth Ahronoth. Israeli military data show 923 officers and soldiers have been killed since the Gaza war began in October 2023.

The Israeli army has killed nearly 71,000 Palestinians, mostly women and children, and injured over 171,000 others in attacks in Gaza since October 2023.

Despite a ceasefire that took effect on Oct. 10, Israel continues to violate the agreement by failing to allow in the agreed quantities of medical aid trucks, deepening what the health ministry described as a critical and ongoing health emergency.
