Israel kills over 500 people and breaks the ceasefire. The violence and killing of innocent people in Gaza must stop immediately; we demand an end to the genocide.

18 March 2025. During Ramadan, Israel’s attacks on Gaza intensified under Trump’s protection. Khan Junis’s hospitals and morgues are overflowing with the corpses of civilians, mostly women and children. In a new crime against humanity, Netanyahu and his regime murdered more than 500 people, including senior Hamas government officials and an Israeli hostage waiting to be released.
This is not an isolated act. Netanyahu’s government attacks Gaza, blocking aid and causing a humanitarian crisis despite a ceasefire. Since the ceasefire began nearly two months ago, Netanyahu has carried out countless attacks on the population living in camps in three refugee centres in the West Bank, directly provoking a new invasion that, with bulldozers, heavy machinery, and firearms, seeks to extend the colonialist power of Israel, Netanyahu, and his criminal settlers.
Gaza remains an open-air prison, where Netanyahu’s Nazi-Zionists fire bombs and bullets supplied by the United States and Donald Trump at will. The White House spokesperson Karoline Leavitt stated Trump authorised the bombings: “As President Trump has made clear, Hamas, the Houthis, Iran, all those who seek to terrorise not only Israel but also the United States will pay a price, and chaos will break out.”
The IWU-FI urges global solidarity with Gaza and Palestine, condemning Netanyahu’s actions. IWU-FI demands an immediate ceasefire, the withdrawal of all Israeli troops, and an end to the bombings. It also demands the immediate liberation of all border crossings to ensure the entry of food, medicine, and reconstruction materials, and the immediate restoration of electricity. We also condemn the US bombing of Yemen and demand the immediate withdrawal of Israeli forces from the Golan Heights in Syria, which are approaching Damascus. We reject the illegal detention and threat of deportation of activists defending the freedom of Palestine and Gaza, as has happened with Mahmoud Khalil in the United States.
Enough bombing of Gaza and Palestine! The ethnic cleansing must be stopped immediately. Ceasefire now and Israeli troops out of all Palestinian territory! For a single, secular, democratic, and non-racist Palestine, let us resume the global mobilisation for all governments to break relations with Israel. Let us reject in the streets the Yankee imperialism of Donald Trump and his henchmen, which supports the Nazi-Zionist massacres against Palestine!
