Tell #Hamas to:.-stop using civilians as human shields.-enable civilians to evacuate to safer zones.-stop using civilian facilities for stockpiling ammunition.-stop firing rockets from densely populated areas at Israeli cities.-release all hostages .#Israel is fighting #Terror.
I am deeply concerned about clear violations of international humanitarian law that we are witnessing in the Middle East. The protection of civilians must be paramount. They are #NotATarget. Nobody is above international humanitarian law.

So according to their logic, only if one commits genocide, one might face consequences. So unbelievably shameful. Explain it to my late grandparents, Auschwitz survivors.

You didn't have a clue? Perhaps you should start by expressing concern about the activity that took place below @UNRWA HQ, condemning acts of terrorism and expressing astonishment and disgust at Hamas' use of your facilities. #HamasTerrorists.
- UNRWA did not know what is under its headquarters in Gaza. - UNRWA is made aware of reports through the media regarding a tunnel under the UNRWA Headquarters in Gaza. - UNRWA staff left its headquarters in Gaza City on 12 October following the Israeli evacuation orders and as.

#Hamas has fuel. There is no shortage. Instead of giving it to hospitals and civilian purposes, it is serving #Terror activity. Israel is of course being blamed for apparently an artificial shortage, while Hamas is the one that should be held accountable.
Hamas has stockpiled more than 1M Liters of fuel in Gaza, but is not providing it to hospitals in need. Hamas is accountable for the suffering in Gaza, not Israel. @wolfblitzer
