News - Middle East: Palestinian Prime Minister Mohammed Shtayyeh has slammed the “genocide” of the people trapped in the besieged Gaza Strip by the Israeli regime.

“Our people in Gaza are going through genocide, and Gaza has become a disaster area,” Shtayyeh said, speaking at a press conference in Ramallah on Friday.

Shtayyeh said the world should take a clear stand against the regime to stop its “doctrine of killing, burning, erasure and genocide” of the Palestinians.

Gaza has been under a complete Israeli siege since October 7, when the resistance movement Hamas launched Operation Al-Aqsa Storm that has been without precedent in scale.

Israel has deployed thousands of military forces, tanks and heavy weaponry in preparation for an expected large-scale ground offensive on Gaza. Israeli warplanes continuously bombard residential areas. The regime claimed Friday its warplanes “struck 750 military targets in the northern Gaza Strip overnight” – the civilian casualty count proves otherwise, however.
