US officials have advised "Israel" against major attacks that could result in an overwhelming humanitarian crisis.

According to The New York Times, US officials have cautioned their Israeli counterparts against any major airstrike that could lead to a humanitarian crisis "that overwhelms the world’s ability to respond."

The United States has warned "Israel" that it must conduct more precise military operations and avoid further mass displacement of Palestinians in its war on Gaza, under the pretext of preventing a humanitarian crisis beyond the present response capacity, according to senior officials in the Biden administration.

Officials stated on Monday evening that the White House informed "Israel" that repeating the scale of airstrikes in northern Gaza, during its anticipated incursion into southern Gaza following the recent ceasefire, would result in a crisis beyond the capacity of any humanitarian support network.

Among other matters, US officials told the Israelis that any upcoming military operations must not impede the availability of energy and water or hinder the operations of humanitarian sites such as hospitals and UN-supported shelters in southern and central Gaza.

One official mentioned that the Israeli government would consider these requests.

Despite the US claiming that the humanitarian aspect is the main reason it is pressuring Israelis to refrain from their genocidal practices, the real reason stems from its fear of the war expanding in West Asia. US forces have been under constant attacks in the region since October 7.

The US is lying

The reality is that the US is lying and has immense leverage over "Israel" to force it to stop its genocide in Gaza, as this was best exemplified by a controversial statement issued earlier today by an Israeli Minister.

In an attempt to alter the fact that the US is not a party in the ongoing aggression against Gaza, the US claims it has limited influence over Israelis.

Netanyahu, who is currently focused on his survival to remain in office, was forced to suspend one of his party members after the latter, named Amihai Eliyahu, suggested that the Gaza Strip be nuked. 

Israeli Channel 12, citing political sources, reported that "statements issued by Israeli 'Heritage' Minister Amihai Eliyahu have caused tremendous damage to "Israel's" reputation globally, especially among partner countries" that are trying to aid the regime.

Were it not for the fear of being reprimanded by the US, Netanyahu would have not suspended his minister.

Other signs that have indicated the US is complicit in the aggression was the suggestion made by US officials to the IOF that the Israeli army uses 'smaller bombs' to reduce the increasingly morbid number of killed civilians.

US military officials reportedly advised the Israelis to use small bombs, which they assess to be more suitable for the dense urban environments of Gaza, instead of the larger bombs that they are currently using (which have been reportedly stockpiled over the years to be used against fortified Hezbollah military positions in Lebanon). 

An official had told NYT that the United States has also increased its intelligence-gathering efforts in Gaza, utilizing drones to search allegedly for captives held by the resistance, redirecting military satellites to monitor the region, and deploying aircraft from two carriers in the Mediterranean to collect additional intelligence, including electronic intercepts.

The official stressed that while the US is extensively sharing intelligence with the IOF, they are not helping them pick out targets for the strikes. 

The US has been attempting to pose as a non-party in this aggression on Gaza, but such operations are a direct participation in the ongoing war.

Ever since the Israeli aggression on #Gaza started, the IOF has arrested 3260 #Palestinians in the #WestBank, reported the Commission of Detainees' Affairs.

A glimpse of Israeli crimes since October 7

Since the start of Operation al-Aqsa Flood on October 7, "Israel" has displaced 1.7 million people inside Gaza and killed over 15,000 people, including over 6,000 children. Over 7,000 Palestinians are declared missing, among them over 4,700 children and women. 

The Israeli occupation forces have raided al-Shifa hospital, killing Palestinians seeking refuge there on sight, after the bombing of al-Ahli Baptist Hospital which left over 500 people dead, recording yet another massacre. 

Just days before the temporary truce started, Israeli occupation forces committed a massacre in northern Gaza, killing more than 60 Palestinians from the Jabalia refugee camp, northeast of Gaza, Al Mayadeen's correspondent confirmed then.

Furthermore, the Israeli occupation also carried out two massacres at al-Fakhoura and Tal al-Zaatar schools, where forcibly displaced Palestinians from Jabalia camp in the northern Gaza Strip were taking refuge.

These schools, affiliated with the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA), which were subjected to relentless Israeli shelling, are among the largest shelters in the Gaza Strip.

As per the Palestinian Minister of Health, Mai al-Kaila, 200 people were martyred in the Israeli bombing of al-Fakhoura School.

In the latest toll, data showed that the IOF committed more than 1,354 massacres.
