DaysofPal — The Palestinian Government Media Office warned Sunday that Israeli forces now exercise effective control over 77 percent of the Gaza Strip, employing what it described as systematic ethnic cleansing, forced displacement, and genocide.
In a statement, the office cited field reports and expert analyses showing that Israel’s military has either directly occupied or imposed lethal “fire control” across most of Gaza’s territory. Troop deployments inside residential areas, relentless bombardment, and repeated evacuation orders have driven tens of thousands of Palestinians from their homes under threat of death.
“This coercive domination—using brutal force to empty the land of its original inhabitants—constitutes a flagrant violation of international humanitarian law, especially the four Geneva Conventions, and the core principles of international justice,” the statement said.
The office condemned the ongoing policy of mass displacement, calling it a “planned campaign of genocide and settler colonialism.” It held Israel—and any states complicit in the blockade and bombardment—fully responsible for these crimes and urged the United Nations, the Security Council, the International Criminal Court, and UN special rapporteurs to launch immediate, independent investigations.
“This forced control over the vast majority of Gaza is a bid to redraw the map by colonial decree,” the statement warned. “It demands a historic and courageous response from the free world before Gaza’s identity is erased completely.”
The Government Media Office called on international human rights groups and all defenders of freedom to stand with the Palestinian people and resist any attempt to eliminate their right to live on their own land.
