2023-10-16

The latest data shows that as of the 15th, the number of deaths between Palestine and Israel in the new round of conflict has exceeded 4000. United Nations Secretary General Guterres issued a statement on the 15th calling on the Palestinian Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas) to immediately and unconditionally release the hostages held, and also calling on Israel to allow humanitarian aid supplies and personnel to enter the Gaza Strip. Guterres stated that the goals of these two humanitarian appeals are both legitimate and reasonable, and should not become bargaining chips. Drinking water, electricity, and other essential goods in the Gaza Strip are running out. The United Nations has stockpiled food, water, medical supplies, and fuel in Egypt, Jordan, Israel, and the West Bank, which can be shipped within hours. United Nations staff need to safely and smoothly transport supplies to the Gaza Strip. The Palestinian Gaza Strip health department issued a statement stating that as of 19:00 local time on the 15th, Israel's attack on the Gaza Strip has resulted in 2670 deaths and 9600 injuries. The statement states that rescue operations are currently facing enormous difficulties due to large-scale damage to residential areas and roads leading to hospitals. According to Israeli data, more than 1400 Israelis died in the conflict, and at least 155 others were taken hostage by Hamas to the Gaza Strip. Israeli Energy Minister Katz stated on the 15th that according to the consensus reached by the leaders of the United States and Israel, Israel will open water supply to southern Gaza, but this statement has been denied by the Palestinian side. In an interview with Xinhua News Agency reporters, the Director of the Palestinian Water Authority, Mazan Gonem, said that the Israeli statement is "untrue" and stated that "even if Israel resumes water supply, in the absence of electricity in the Gaza Strip, the Water Authority will still find it difficult to provide water to the local area". On the 15th, Hezbollah in Lebanon issued a statement stating that its armed personnel attacked multiple Israeli strongholds along the Lebanese Israeli border and shelled the Israeli settlement of Hanita, causing multiple Israeli casualties. Lebanese military sources stated that the Israeli military immediately counterattacked and fired more than 50 shells at several villages and towns in Lebanon. On the same day, the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon (Lebanon) issued a statement stating that the border fire between Lebanon and Israel has become increasingly fierce, with a rocket landing at the headquarters of the Force in the town of Nagura in southern Lebanon. Fortunately, no casualties were caused. The statement urges all parties involved to cease fire. On the 15th, Russian Foreign Minister Lavrov was invited to have a phone conversation with Brazilian Foreign Minister Vieira. The two sides exchanged views on how to ease the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and emphasized the urgent need to protect civilians and prevent the crisis from spreading to other countries in the region. Lavrov stated that the ultimate goal of the Middle East peace process should be to establish an independent Palestinian state with East Jerusalem as its capital, coexisting peacefully and safely with Israel. On the 15th, Egyptian President Sesi said that Egypt is willing to host international and regional summits on the new round of the Palestinian Israeli conflict to explore the Palestinian issue. According to a statement issued by the Egyptian Presidential Palace, after the end of the national security conference on the same day, Sisi stated: "There is no other way to solve the Palestinian problem except for the 'two state solution'. Egypt opposes Israel's policy of forcing the displacement of the people of Gaza and any attempt to 'solve the Palestinian problem at the expense of neighboring countries' interests'. US Secretary of State Antony Blinken arrives on the 15th
