Trump Administration Urged to Act to Stop Israel’s Ethnic Cleansing
CAIR on Saturday said “international law no longer exists” after another Palestinian child reportedly died of Israeli-imposed – and US-supported – forced starvation in the Gaza Strip.
A baby girl, Janan Saleh al-Sakafi, reportedly died of malnutrition and dehydration in the Rantisi Hospital more than two months after the Israeli regime resumed the genocidal war on Gaza and re-imposed the blockade of the Palestinian enclave.
Israel is intentionally using the forced starvation of the entire population of Gaza as a weapon of war, which is clearly prohibited by international law. The Trump administration is supporting Israel’s illegal blockade on food and all humanitarian supplies from entering Gaza.
In a statement, CAIR said:
“If Israel’s genocidal campaign of forced starvation can be carried out with impunity and with our own government’s support, international law no longer exists. Israel can seemingly violate all international laws and norms with an impunity that does not apply to any other nation on the planet. If international law is to have any meaning, the Trump administration and the world community must act immediately to stop Israel’s forced starvation, state terrorism, slaughter, mass destruction, and ethnic cleansing.”

Last week, CAIR welcomed the start of hearing before the International Court of Justice (ICJ) about Israel’s genocidal campaign of forced starvation in Gaza and the Palestinian people’s right to self-determination. CAIR recently called on the world community to break Israel’s “medieval siege” on Gaza that is resulting in the starvation deaths of Palestinian children.
CAIR marked World Press Freedom Day (May 3) by calling on American journalists and media outlets to support and speak out for their colleagues in Gaza targeted for assassination by the Israeli government.
Also, CAIR called on the Trump administration to “rein in the Israeli government’s state terrorism” after Israel bombed an area next to the presidential palace in Damascus and allegedly launched a drone attack on a ship carrying humanitarian aid to Gaza in in international waters off Malta.
