Rubble. Cartoon of 27/10/2025 in CTXT
Translation of the cartoon. Title: Gaza is buried under 61 million tonnes of rubble. Sign: "Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu Ballroom"
The UNRW in a report on the situation in Gaza in late October - nine days after the ceasefire came into effect - estimates, based on satellite imagery from July 2025, that the offensive has generated more than 61 million tonnes of rubble. And in those days, in the US, the relevant news was the construction of a fucking ballroom being built by the sociopathic Trump in the Casablanca and said to be named after him.
This bestial amount of rubble has complicated the work of infrastructure recovery due to the presence of unexploded ordnance and explosives, which continue to endanger people in the area, and they consider it urgent to ensure better access for specialised personnel and equipment to carry out the work of locating and clearing mines and explosive devices. These measures are non-negotiable in order to be able to undertake the location and recovery of the bodies of missing and killed persons who still remain in the wreckage of the total destruction of Gaza.
In early November, Al Jazeera took stock of how many times Israel had violated the ceasefire in Gaza. According to the Government Media Office in Gaza, Israel fired on civilians 164 times, raided residential areas beyond the "yellow line" 25 times, shelled Gaza 280 times and demolished people's property 118 times. They also add that Israel had also detained 35 Palestinians in Gaza over the past month and conclude that since the ceasefire came into effect, Israeli attacks have killed at least 373 Palestinians and injured 970.
According to Al Jazeera's analysis, Israel attacked Gaza almost every day during this period, 48 of the last 59 days of the ceasefire (by now many more), meaning that there were only 11 days in which no violent attacks, deaths or injuries were recorded during the first two months of the supposed cessation of military action by the genocidaires.
Despite continued attacks and clear evidence of multiple and blatant violations of the agreement, the US continues to insist that the "ceasefire" remains in place, legitimising the impunity of the genocidal state of Israel once again.
Israel does not envisage a Palestinian state in any way, as the "peace" agreement states that it should be, but only works for its destruction and to occupy the entire territory. It is enough to look back in memory or to look in the newspaper archives to confirm that Israel's premise has always been the denial of the possibility of the Palestinians to exist on their land.
There you have the Minister of Defence, Israel Katz, who claims that:
"Israel's policy is clear: no Palestinian state will be created. The IDF will remain on top of Mount Hermon and in the security zone. Gaza will be dismantled down to the last tunnel and Hamas will be disarmed in the yellow zone by the IDF and in the former Gaza by the international force, or by the IDF".
