By Palestine Chronicle Staff  

Though the Biden Administration is speaking of a ‘demilitarized Palestinian state’, Washington still believes that the Israeli genocidal war on Gaza must continue. 

Indeed, the war rages on, as hundreds of Palestinians continue to die as a result of Israeli bombardment on a daily basis. The latest attacks focused on the town and refugee camp of Jabaliya in northern Gaza, and areas east of Khan Younis in the south. 

Resistance, however, remains strong in all axes of fighting. 

According to Gaza’s Ministry of Health, 24,927 Palestinians have been killed, and 62,388 wounded in Israel’s ongoing genocide in Gaza starting on October 7. Palestinian and international estimates say that the majority of those killed and wounded are women and children.
