Venezuelan President Nicola Maduro posted on X on Saturday stressing that the world is calling for an "immediate and unconditional ceasefire in Gaza, with 120 votes in favor in the UN General Assembly," adding that the genocide in Gaza "must end".

Maduro's remarks are part of a series of statements by officials calling for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza.

El mundo exige un alto el fuego inmediato e incondicional en Gaza, con 120 votos a favor en la Asamblea General de la ONU. Clamamos por la Paz, el entendimiento y el respeto al derecho internacional. El genocidio en Palestina debe acabarse. ¡No más Guerra, no más violencia, no… pic.twitter.com/OknhHQL7mt

In another post on X, the Colombian President, Gustavo Petro, stressed that "humanity today facing genocide," adding that "with the complete blackout of power and internet, the massacre breaks out in Gaza."

Furthermore, Spain's acting social rights minister, Ione Belarra, said on Friday that "Israel is seeking more impunity to commit the worst atrocities” by completely cutting off Gaza’s communications with the world.

Belarra's remarks came after the Israeli occupation army announced that its ground forces would expand their activities in the Gaza Strip during the night, indicating that a ground invasion may have begun.

"Israel has cut off all communications in the Gaza Strip. The objective is clear; they want even more impunity to commit the worst atrocities," Belarra wrote in English on X.

"The response of people in our countries must be massive. Not with our silence, not in our name," she urged.

Gaza in complete blackout 

Massive regions in the Strip are suffering from complete internet outage, while its largest communications service provider announced that it had shut down all operations across Gaza after Israeli war jets destroyed the company's remaining infrastructure.

"All routes connecting Gaza to the outside world were destroyed" by Israeli strikes, Al Jawwal said in a statement.

Meanwhile, Al Mayadeen's correspondent reported that today witnessed the most violent strikes on Gaza since October 7, confirming that attacks are being carried out through air, land, and sea. Our correspondent noted that Central Gaza is being targeted as well after attacks in the previous days were concentrated north of the Strip.

While Israeli warplanes were conducting air strikes, Palestinian Resistance forces unleashed a series of heavy and consecutive rocket launches, targeting the vicinity of "Tel Aviv," "Ashdod," "Ashkelon," and central occupied Palestine.

The Israeli occupation persists in its aggression on the Gaza Strip for the 21st consecutive day, with civilian homes being a frequent target. The number of martyrs in the Gaza Strip has now surpassed 7,300, while there are tens of thousands of wounded and missing individuals, as reported by the Gaza government's media office.

In just the past 24 hours, the Israeli occupation committed 41 massacres, resulting in 298 martyrs mostly in southern areas which the entity claimed were "safe". Since the first day of the aggression, Israelis committed a total of 772 massacres.
