Israel’s retaliation against entire Gaza and the rest of Palestinian territories following October 7, 2023 Hamas attack, continued till date has resulted in not only deaths and destruction of Gazan population and the territory, it also has devastating impact on Israel’s IDF forces deployed in Gaza and other parts of occupied Palestine.

The leader of the nation as the head of the state Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has become the death merchant unwilling to relent to international community call for permanent ceasefire. The war in Gaza in the fourth month since it began has consumed around 30,000 civilian lives among whom more than 11,000 are children alone.

The Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu’s stance heeding belligerent guidance within own cabinet and foreign powers at the start on October 7, 2023 accelerated with unconscionable war crimes ranging from deliberate suspension of drinking water, food, medicines and basic survival needs to bombing of hospitals, schools, places of worship not only mosques in Gaza but also the church in Jerusalem, Gazan civilian residential buildings reduced to rubble in the ongoing ravaging war.

The leadership of any nation becoming the role model for indiscriminate brutality demonstrated by the Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and government members diligently adapted by the conscripted IDF personnel on the grounds in Gaza is a colossal failure of leadership having eliminated democracy in Israel.

The IDF executions of Gazan families, bombing of civilian homes and all public facilities displayed via viral videos proudly celebrating decimation of Gaza and annihilation of civilians and calling to intensify genocide exemplify the national head of the state Netanyahu’s leadership corrupting human psyche especially among own IDF personnel turning them into blood thirsty ravenous beings having hopelessly surrendered to the political will of the leadership.

The Israeli Prime Minister in return is running away from self to evade own corruption scandal and related legal consequences serving as the cause for Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu’s indefinite genocide.

Meanwhile, the war fatigued Israeli IDF drafted personnel many of whom are fairly young are now transformed into lifeless without Soul like the Prime Minister Netanyahu adamantly misleading the troops and the rest of the nation entirely and exclusively for personal political salvation to remain in power.

The Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu facing many serious charges from corruption stigma to dereliction of duty in security and directly responsible for exacerbating Israeli hostage situation with deaths among them in Israel’s relentless bombing by declining permanent ceasefire and immediate exchange of all hostages on both sides could no longer be differed nor buried in vain.

The Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s decline in leadership is ominously influencing IDF shifting away from normal human behavior to aggressive killing machines in the war zone and the long occupied Palestine.

The Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s extended political tenure predominantly aimed at concentration of power proved in upending democracy much to entire nation’s angst and frustration drawing months long protests throughout Israel and,

Thereafter the developments until now is undoubtedly costly in terms of ordinary and defense force lives in the national front, Palestinian citizens, the region and the entire world.

Not to mention American tax payer financing the protracted warfare despite their dissent reverberating in peaceful demonstrations across the nation ever since the onset of war.

Again the call for peace slighted by the politics in the United States, the administration and bi-partisan Congress continuing business as usual in perpetuating the genocide and carnage in semblance with Afghanistan and Iraq invasions earlier.

The Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu leadership is by far the deadliest and irrecoverable liability for Israel and that goes without saying for Palestinians and the possibility of peaceful settlement and permanent resolution to the long outstanding Middle Eastern Arab / Islamic – Israeli quagmire.

The regional volatility expanded into global tensions are currently the state of affairs affecting the world at large in every aspect from global security to economic repercussions.

The international citizenry have called out Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s incontrovertible war crimes in the Gaza war.

However, the formal legal assertion in case filed by sovereign nations Mexico and Chile on January 18, 2024 citing war crimes in the Gaza war with legally binding prosecutorial charges on individual war crimes presided over by the International Criminal Court (ICC) in Hague further confirm the veracity of Gazan genocide escalation with no end in sight prompting concerned international intervention to end the heinous crimes against innocent unarmed civilians in Gaza and the remaining Palestine.

Regardless of the outcome in such legal pursuits, Israel being a non-member and thereby Israel neither recognize the jurisdiction nor comply with any ICC or ICJ, UN, UNSC and any other international body decision.

The conviction of war crimes against Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and allies in the Gaza genocide and arbitrary violation of human rights is indisputable irrefutable fact with the unequivocal ruins in Gaza as the testament to reality.

Permanent ceasefire enabling release of all hostages on both sides with expedited Palestinian statehood and independence ending Israel’s three-quarter-century old illegal occupation, colonization and apartheid in entire Palestine is the only solution now and moving forward.

Termination of Gaza war for peace to benefit entire population in Gaza, the rest of Palestine, the Middle East region and the world is the regional and global responsibility.
