According to Ambassador Husam Zomlot, "Israel" can only solve problems through its logic which only consists of "military solutions, violence, intimidating civilians, and exerting pressure on civilian communities".

During his interview with Anadolu Agency at the seventh TRT World Forum in Istanbul on Saturday, Palestinian Ambassador to the UK Husam Zomlot spoke against the mainstream belief that the occupation and aggression of "Israel" began on October 7 - it started 106 years ago.

"It all started when Britain promised our lands to others without consulting us and turned us, the Palestinian nation, into non-Jewish minorities", he said, adding: "The quest for freedom and justice by the Palestinian people should now be acknowledged. We need to address issues of human rights, national rights, as well as international consensus and law".

According to the ambassador, "Israel" can only solve problems through its logic which only consists of "military solutions, violence, intimidating civilians, and exerting pressure on civilian communities".

Israel media did not show the mass murder of Palestinian children and innocent civilians, or the mass destruction of Gaza. But Israeli media has no qualms about showing these savage images of Israeli occupation forces detaining and stripping civilians taken from a UN shelter in… pic.twitter.com/XCQtullKCU

"You must have heard. Israeli ministers called us 'human-like animals.' Since you cannot kill ordinary people in this way, you have to dehumanize them," he said, as he stressed that "Israel's" strategy of committing all of this genocide is by dehumanizing Palestinians.

'Bury them alive'

This comes following a video clip taken by Israeli soldiers showing stripped and blindfolded Palestinian men, abducted by the IOF in northern Gaza. At least 100 Palestinian men were involved in this violation, which has been strongly condemned by Palestinian officials and human rights groups as degrading and inhumane.
 
Moreover, that was followed by a disturbing post by Israeli politician Aryeh Yitzhak King, the deputy mayor of occupied al-Quds, who called for the Israeli military to "bury alive" the hundreds of captured Palestinian civilians in Gaza. King emphasized that the occupation army was eliminating what he referred to as "Muslim Nazis" in the Strip in a now-deleted post on X. 

The Ministry of Health in the Gaza Strip has reported a tragic toll of 17,997 martyrs and 42,229 injuries due to the ongoing Israeli aggression, which has persisted for 65 days.

The Ministry's spokesperson, Ashraf Al-Qudra, revealed that in the past hours alone, the occupation forces committed 21 horrific massacres.
