Hunger devours Gaza... and Hamas leadership calls for others to intervene.

While Israel was betting on the continuation of unconditional Western support, the results of its policies in Gaza turned catastrophic, reversing the equation. The systematic policy of starvation, which affected more than two million people, pushed the sector into one of the worst humanitarian disasters in its modern history. Images of children digging through rubble in search of food, and patients dying on beds without medicine, became shocking scenes circulated on screens around the world, resistant to justification or concealment.

Amid this widespread hunger, a paradox emerged that sparked extensive debate: the leadership of Hamas, living abroad away from the siege, demands that Jordan, Egypt, and other countries take clearer stances and greater intervention to help Gaza. For many, these calls seemed an example of how easy it is to make decisions when the cost is borne by another people living under bombardment and siege, while the decision-maker is in a safe position, not tasting the bitterness of hunger or experiencing daily fear.

Although the responses from Jordan and Egypt were measured, they carried clear messages; they emphasized their support for the establishment of an independent Palestinian state and warned that the continuation of the humanitarian disaster would undermine regional stability, but they avoided engaging in direct political confrontation with Tel Aviv or Hamas.

This scene coincided with notable shifts in the European stance, as countries like France, Britain, and Germany moved towards recognizing the State of Palestine, in a step that was previously unlikely. However, despite the importance of these positions, they do not change the harsh reality on the ground: the residents of Gaza are facing hunger and death, while their leaders sit in relatively safe positions, engaging in political rhetoric and blaming others.
