Israel has told Doctors Without Borders it can no longer operate in Gaza. The humanitarian organization has roughly 1000 Palestinian workers. A number of its employees also called Israeli government policy in Gaza “genocide.” So, Israel, in an evident attempt to prove they were correct, threw them out.
This is not the first group Israel kicked out of Gaza. The Times News ran an Associated Press article on January 5 by Sam Mednick and Julia Frankel entitled “Israel bans 37 aid groups from work in Gaza.” As bad as things are in Gaza, they will now get worse. Israel has become a pariah nation, and what it is doing in Gaza is, in a word, “genocide.”
Info in the first paragraph is from today's New York Times, "Israeli Officials Tell Doctors Without Borders to End Its Aid Walk in Gaza, p. A10.
