On 5 January, the Under-Secretary-General for Humanitarian Affairs and Emergency Relief Coordinator, stated that “the humanitarian community has been left with the impossible mission of supporting more than 2 million people, even as its own staff are being killed and displaced, as communication blackouts continue, as roads are damaged and convoys are shot at, and as commercial supplies vital to survival are almost non-existent... medical facilities are under relentless attacks while they are overwhelmed with trauma cases, critically short of all supplies and inundated by desperate people seeking safety.” 

The Israeli aggression on the Gaza Strip continued, entering its fourth month, with the number of Palestinians killed in reaching 4,988, while the number of wounded was more than 9,000 during the month of January. The number of detainees, during the same month reached 1,082 detainees from the West Bank, not including the number of detainees from the Gaza Strip, which are large in numbers and unknown given the immeasurable numbers of missing and disappearing people: from people under the rubble to the mass Israeli arrests taking place.  

In Gaza, the picture in 2024 is dire with a fading hope for recovery, as painted by various reports by UNWomen, UNOCHA, UNICEF, UNRWA, B’Tselem, Peace Now, Al-Haq and many more.  If Palestinians don’t die from the active aggression, they can die from lack of shelter or the destruction of their homes over their heads, but most likely from the active starvation being imposed on the Palestinian people in Gaza. “The desperate search for food is relentless, and usually unsuccessful, leaving the entire population – including babies, children, pregnant or nursing women and the elderly – hungry.” The recovery of the GDP in Gaza to that of 2022 is predicted to only be possible 2092, assuming the growth rate resumes to that of the period between 2007 – 2022, and assuming the aggression stops now while the rebuilding resumes right away.  With no outlook of a ceasefire, this dire scenario does not even represent a realistic one, in spite of various attempts to stop the aggression, including resorting to world court. During the month of January, South Africa filed a case against Israel at the International Court of Justice accusing Israel of committing a Genocide against the Palestinian people in Gaza, the court ruled on January 26 that it is a plausible case of Genocide, and that Israel should abide by the court ruling of provisional measures to prevent the Genocide. However, even with that ruling, Israel continued its aggression and one can argue that it even expanded it over the last week and into February. In parallel, Israeli politicians revealed their intent for Gaza’s future through the “Return to Gaza” Conference and their various statements enforcing the immigration of Palestinians from Gaza and terminating the Two State Solution. 

In parallel, in the West Bank, the situation exacerbated further with the expanded operations to cease Palestinian land, intensified efforts of displacement that reached 22 communities since October 7th, arrested 1,082 Palestinians, and conducted approximately 1,200 incursions carried out by the Israeli army in the West Bank and Jerusalem which were accompanied by assassinations, arrests, and the destruction of infrastructure in the cities, towns, and camps where these incursions occur. Israel is intensifying its efforts in making life in the West Bank is also impossible and expanding its grip over the land.  

The dire situation of the Palestinians territories has had for the most part, modest reactions from the international community, in spite of the crimes making daily headlines on world news. Oxfam’s Middle East Director says: “It is unimaginable that the international community is watching the deadliest rate of conflict of the 21st century unfold, while continuously blocking calls for a ceasefire.”

Aggression on Gaza - Daily Monitoring 

As of January 30, the number of Palestinians killed as a result of the aggression on the Gaza Strip amounted to 26,751 Palestinians, in addition to 65,636 injured since October 7, while 1.7 million people have been displaced from across the Gaza Strip, some more than once. One million of which are women, according to UNWomen’s press release published on January 19. On January 29, about 88,000 displaced Palestinians have been notified to evacuate again on (not including the local residents). 

A UNOCHA report highlights that 117 Palestinian journalists and media, 45 Palestinian Civil Defense staff, and 148 UN staff have been killed by Israeli forces since October 7 – all of which are unprecedented numbers and reflect the scale of the tragedy in Gaza. As for women, according to UNWomen’s same report, two mothers have been killed every hour in the Gaza Strip since the beginning of the aggression and there are “…at least 3,000 women may have become widows and heads of households, in urgent need of protection and food assistance, and at least 10,000 children may have lost their fathers.” Furthermore, according to UNICEF, there are approximately 10 children who lose their legs every day in the Gaza Strip, and a report issued by UNICEF indicated that 1,000 children have lost either a leg or both legs in the Gaza Strip since October 7, while the majority of surgeries performed on children were performed without anesthesia. 

In a statement issued by the Ministry of Education, the ministry revealed that there are more than 4,257 Palestinian students killed since the beginning of the aggression and 7,777 wounded – according to WAFA. While 227 Palestinian teachers and administrative staff members were killed, and 756 others were injured in the Gaza Strip. In terms of schools, 278 public schools and 65 UNRWA schools were bombed and vandalized in the Gaza Strip – that is 90% of government schools.  

While if we look at the general infrastructure of the Gaza Strip, a conservative estimation indicates that 50% of the buildings in the Gaza Strip were completely or partially destroyed, including schools, hospitals, universities, churches, mosques, archaeological sites, and even cemeteries through an estimate of 30,000 bombs and missiles dropped from the air alone – according to an investigative report published by Haaretz. 

However, if Palestinians survived the bombs, missiles, bullets, and other forms of attacks, they are unlikely to escape the risk of dying from starvation. “Everyone in Gaza is going hungry. About 2.2 million people are surviving day by day on almost nothing, routinely going without meals” according to a report published by B'Tselem showing the state of hunger and food insecurity in the Gaza Strip. According to the report, Gaza was in a crisis prior to October 7th due to the Israeli 17-year blockade, with 80% of the population relying on humanitarian aid prior to October 7th, and 44% of households already food insecure. The report also provides a glimpse into the catastrophic situation where the entire population of Gaza reached Phase 3 of starvation, while it is predicted that within six months, starvation will reach phase 5, which is: 30% of children suffer from severe malnutrition, and two adults or four children out of 10,000 die of hunger every day. 

The picture is gloomier when coupled with the UN report outlining the difficulties of restoration. “The report found that if fighting were to stop immediately with reconstruction starting right away, and the 2007-2022 growth trend persists, it would take until 2092 just to restore the GDP levels of 2022.

Politicians and Striking Statements: 

In this month, it became more apparent the Israeli intent of re-capturing, occupying and re-settling Gaza. It further clarifies the intent of Israelis in carrying out this inhumane aggression which was deemed as a plausible case of Genocide by the International Court of Justice. This period is particularly of importance as it included the “Settle Gaza” Conference which set the path for Israel’s intent on the day after, while also revealed to the world very clearly the Israeli plans in diminishing the Two State Solution. Below are some of the main statements: 

• “We want to encourage voluntary emigration, and we need to find countries willing to take them in”: The Minister of Finance, Bezalel Smotrich, said on January 1 that “the time has come to try something different, and to allow international efforts to find a humanitarian solution for the residents of the Gaza Strip in other countries of the world,” encouraging the displacement of the residents of the Gaza Strip to different places in the world.  

• “We cannot withdraw from any territory we are in in the Gaza Strip”: On January 1, National Security Minister, Itamar Ben Gvir announced the intent to stay and build more settlements stating: “We cannot withdraw from any territory we are in in the Gaza Strip. Not only do I not rule out Jewish settlement there, I believe it is also an important thing.” National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir confirmed on January 17, in an interview with Channel 13, that “Gaza must be occupied and voluntary migration encouraged” and reaffirmed on January 29, “The only solution in Gaza is settlement, not only in Gush Katif, but also in all areas of the Strip.” 

• “The desired solution: Gaza residents must be allowed to emigrate voluntarily”: The title of the article in Maariv on January 23 by Limor Son Har Melech, representative of the "Jewish Greatness" party. The article stated that voluntary emmigration of Palestinians in the Gaza Strip is the most ethical solution, and that it has become the dominant public mood in Israel, citing an article written by two Knesset representatives, Danny Danon from the Likud party in the coalition, and Ram Ben Barak from the opposition Yesh Atid party. 

• “The [ICJ] deliberations were isolated from reality, hypocritical and false”: The Minister of Finance and Minister in the Ministry of Security, Bezalel Smotrich, responded to the International Court of Justice’s decision, saying that “the deliberations were isolated from reality, hypocritical and false.” He ended his statements by saying, “If the judges of the court in The Hague have such great concern for the conditions of the Palestinians in Gaza, then I call on them to ask the countries of the world to open their doors to receive them and improve their conditions,” in an additional call for the displacement of the residents of Gaza and their expulsion from the Strip. 

• “In any future arrangement… Israel needs security control of all territory west of the Jordan [River]”: Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on January 20, re-iterating the opposition to a Palestinian State and echoing that to the US. 

• “...why settlements are important, why preventing the establishment of a Palestinian state is important” through the “Return to Gaza” Conference: 20 ministers and Knesset members from the Likud party called for the participation in a conference in Jerusalem demanding the restoration of settlement in the Gaza Strip as a way to guarantee victory and achieve security for Israel. The Israeli Minister of Sports and Culture, Miki Zohar clearly announced the intentions: “we are holding an important conference where we will clearly explain why settlements are important, why preventing the establishment of a Palestinian state is important.” In turn, the head of the Shomron Settlements Council, Yossi Dagan, said: “settlement in Gaza and the northern Gaza Strip first, and then settlement in the northern West Bank will give us safety.” While Tourism Minister Yisrael Katz supported the statements and initiatives. 

• “The only way… to ensure security is voluntary immigration” during the “Return to Gaza” Conference: On January 28, the conference was held under the title “We Return to Gaza” in the city of Jerusalem, in which 12 ministers and 15 Knesset representatives participated to call for the restoration of settlement in the Gaza Strip, and to begin registration for six settlement blocs. According to "Haaretz", the conference was to plan and encourage the transfer of population, which also published a new map of the Gaza Strip and settlement outposts. The senior ministers who participated in the conference were: National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir, Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich, in addition to Communications Minister Shlomo Karai from the ruling Likud Party, and Tourism Minister Yisrael Katz. Minister Karai stated during the conference, “The only way to make the Nazis from Hamas pay the price and to ensure security is: voluntary immigration,” and added, “Even if this is through using war to impose voluntary immigration until they say, ‘We want,’” indicating the intention to make the life extremely unbearable.  

• “…we need to go back home and control [Gaza]. We need to find a legal way to voluntarily emigrate [Palestinians] and impose death sentences” during the “Return to Gaza Conference: This was the statement made by Itamar Ben Gvir in Jerusalem during the “Return to Gaza” conference on January 28. 

• “[E]veryone who opposes the authority of the people of Israel over the Land of Israel must be “exterminated and displaced” during the “Return to Gaza Conference: It was yet another statement during the conference but by Rabbi Uzi Sherbaf, the spiritual father of the settlement movement, encouraging the extermination and displacement. 

• “[A]ll of Gaza Strip is a part of the state of Israel, of the land of Israel”: Daniela Weiss, the Director of Nachala and a well-known leader of the Israeli settler movement, said in an interview with NBC news. She was one of the main organizers of the “Return to Gaza” Conference, and added: "It’s the end of the presence of Arabs in Gaza. It’s the end."  She had many statements that are showing the true intent for genocide: “The Arabs will move… we don’t give them food, we don’t give the Arabs anything, they will have to leave. The world will accept them”.  

• “We will never participate in the establishment of a Palestinian state”: These were the words of the Minister of Culture and Sports, Miki Zohar on January 20 in response to US President Joe Biden’s statement that he does not eliminate the possibility of establishing a Palestinian state. His full statement includes: “Our brothers’ and sisters’ blood was not spilled so that the Palestinians would be rewarded and we would risk our future in our land. I say clearly to everyone who is still stuck on October 6: We will never participate in the establishment of a Palestinian state.”  

• “I do rule out a Palestinian state, always”: Bezalel Smotrich, a senior far-right member of Netanyahu’s cabinet announced clearly on January 20 on his X channel his intent to eliminate the Palestinian State in response to US President Joe Biden’s statement. 

Proposed Israeli Laws and Draft Laws: 

In the period of January, there were several emergency orders that were extended to ensure the continued inhumane treatment of Palestinians detained from Gaza, further demonstrating the deliberate Israeli intent of causing serious bodily or mental harm on Palestinians, and imposing conditions intended to destroy them. The emergency orders introduced since October 7 and extended in January are in violation of the Geneva Convention III Relative to the Treatment of Prisoners of War. Below are the three Emergency Order Extensions: 

• Extension of Emergency Order Preventing Detained Palestinians in Gaza from Seeing a Lawyer: The Knesset General Assembly, by majority votes from coalitions and opposition, approved on January 15, in its final reading, the extension of an emergency law that limits the rights of Palestinians from Gaza arrested on October 7th or after. The proposed law specifies the ability of the Israeli authorities from limiting the Palestinian prisoner’s rights in meeting with a lawyer for a period of up to 180 days. The government requests that the law be extended until April 3, 2024. 

• Extension of emergency law that allows reduction of prisoners’ space: The Knesset General Assembly approved, by majority votes from coalitions and opposition, the extension of an emergency law that allows the Israeli prison authorities to reduce the space available for “security” prisoners to less than the space stipulated in international laws and treaties. Reports issued by human rights organizations indicate that the space available to a prisoner in Israeli prisons does not reach three meters, in addition to the difficult conditions of captivity, such as deprivation of beds, clothing, and adequate food – which is in violation to Article 25 of the Geneva Convention III. The government requests that the law be extended until April 18, 2024. 

• Extension of Emergency Law that allows extending the detention period for 45 days: On January 22, the Knesset General Assembly approved, in its first reading, the extension of an emergency law that allows the court to extend the detention of a Palestinian accused with a “security” case for 45 days at a time. The government requests that the validity of the confirmed law be extended until April 3, 2024. 

Expropriation of Landed Property: 

A report issued by the B'Tselem Center indicated that from October 19 to January 17, the equivalent of 16 Palestinian communities in the West Bank were displaced, with a population of 1,009 people, including 371 children under the age of 18. This is in addition to 6 communities that were partially, evacuated, and their number reached 89 people, including 32 children. The incremental activity of expropriation of land belonging to the Palestinian people is exacerbating the Israeli apartheid existence in the West Bank. 

Palestinians have witnessed unprecedented surge in settler activity in the West Bank since October 7. This includes the construction of colonial outposts, roads and fences, which further marginalizes the Palestinian presence on their land, according to Peace Now’s recent report, in the West Bank. In addition to the ongoing settler violence, reports issued in November highlighted the establishment of other Israeli outposts and the paving of roads, which contributed to the spread of the phenomenon of roadblocks to prevent Palestinians from accessing the main roads in the West Bank. Western, In the past three months, nine new Israeli outposts were established, in addition to 18 illegal roads for Israeli settler use only and the continuous blocking of roads that prevent the passage of Palestinians.  

The permissive military and political environment allows for reckless construction and land seizures with almost no deterrent, while limiting Minimum compliance with Israeli law, let alone, international law. The result is not only physical harm to the Palestinians and the diminishing of their lands, but also forcing a new political reality on the ground that does not include a Palestinian State, but rather further the Israeli Apartheid agenda.  

In this report, we will also notice a relatively new strategy of requesting money in exchange of temporary movement, prevention of deportation, and limiting confiscation becoming more systematic in the Israeli rhetoric. A report published in the Haaretz newspaper on January 27 indicated that the Jordan Valley Settlement Council forced Palestinian shepherds to pay an amount equivalent to 150,000 shekels in exchange for liberating their sheep herds in the Jordan Valley area. The Israeli Border Control seized the livestock until the Palestinians paid the amount to the settlement council. On the same day, the Israeli authorities notified the Palestinians residents of the intent to demolish 11 residential and agricultural facilities in the Abu Nuwar Bedouin community, east of Jerusalem. 

The section below outlines the activities of land expropriation during the month of January broken down to days: 

• January 2: The Israeli authorities bulldozed and destroyed lands, and uprooted its trees in the village of Beit Safafa, south of Jerusalem. The area targeted is composed of 5 acres (20 dunums), which the Israeli authorities are looking to seize for the expansion of Givat Hamatos settlement established on Beit Safafa lands. 

• January 7: the Israeli municipality of Jerusalem announced its approval of the contentious settlement plan known as “Silicon Valley,” which aims to destroy the industrial zone of Wadi al-Jouz neighborhood, near Al-Aqsa mosque.

• January 9: Settlers established a new outpost adjacent to the Palestinian Beit ‘Awwa village, west of Hebron. Peace Now published a report describing the continuous violence, threats and invasions that are bestowed among Palestinians that are simply seeking to live in their village, sitting in their front yards or other basic routine activities. The Israeli army has continuously protected the settlers while they destroyed the lands, roads, in addition to the blocking on roads and entrances to the village.  According to Peace Now, the situation is unbearable, and the Israeli army is acting with supervisory role to the violence rather than preventive and protective role. 

• January 23: The Israeli authorities renewed the decision to seize 21 acres (91 dunums) of land in the Buqai’a Plain, northern Jordan Valley.

Crimes and Violations: 

The month of January witnessed approximately 1,200 incursions carried out by the Israeli army in the West Bank and Jerusalem. In almost all cases, these incursions are accompanied by confrontations, arrests, and the destruction of infrastructure in the cities, towns, and camps where these incursions occur. It demonstrates the clear Israeli action in denying Palestinians the basic safety and means of life, by continually inflicting serious bodily harm, and infringement or freedom or dignity. It is also a process in which facilitates the expropriation of Palestinians land which results to pushing the remaining Palestinians indigenous population into concentrations or ‘ghettos’ according to the article II of the Apartheid Convention. Below is the daily update of these incursions outlining the lives lost:

Prisoners and Detainees: 

During the month of January, Israeli forces arrested 1,082 Palestinians – an average of 37 Palestinians per day and a total of 6,170 Palestinians arrested since October 7. It demonstrates Israel’s continued practice of limiting and denying the Palestinians’ right to liberty as individuals. 

In Gaza, Human Rights Watch released an important report describing the situation of prisoners from Gaza. It states: “The Israeli authorities held thousands of workers from Gaza in incommunicado detention for several weeks… subjecting at least some of them to inhumane and degrading conditions.” Human Rights Watch describes that there are thousands more that remain stranded in the West Bank without legal status, which makes them at risk of being arrested. The Palestinians held were “reportedly interrogated on alleged links to, or knowledge of, the attacks,” over 3,000 of the Palestinian workers were released and transferred to Gaza on November 3. Until today, there are no charges declared for any of the Palestinian workers detained.
