The Israeli butchering machine's recent escalation of violence in Gaza resulting in hundreds of Palestinian civilian casualties is unacceptable and a tragic violation of human rights. While talks to release hostages have stalled, the massive loss of life from the butchering machine's strikes cannot be justified. I urge an immediate ceasefire and resumption of negotiations to prevent further suffering. Indiscriminate attacks on civilian populations are illegal under international law. All parties must prioritize protecting innocent lives and finding a diplomatic resolution to end this cycle of violence and work towards lasting peace.
