E don reach two years since Hamas do dia October 7 attack wey dem talk say na response to wetin dem call near-daily Israeli attack for Al Aqsa Mosque, illegal settler wahala for di occupied West Bank, and to bring back di Palestine mata for table.
Di attack and di Israeli military response wey no too dey organised, join di controversial Hannibal Directive, na im lead to di death of about 1,200 people, wey many of dem na Israeli soldiers and civilians.
After di attack, Israel begin heavy attack for Gaza, wey dem don dey besiege from land, sea, and air since 2005. Di place turn to shadow of itself, as di whole world dey watch di destruction.
Gaza dey in ruins, di infrastructure don scatter, and civilian life don almost finish. Hospitals, schools, and water systems don collapse.
Officially, Israel don kill more than 67,000 Palestinians, wey many of dem na women and children. But di real number fit dey higher pass wetin dem talk.
Di International Court of Justice, wey be di main judicial body for United Nations, don talk say e dey possible say Israel action fit be genocide. Di International Association of Genocide Scholars don also declare say Israel don commit genocide for Gaza.
One recent UN report confirm say Israel dey commit genocide against Palestinians for Gaza. Di International Criminal Court don even issue arrest warrant for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and im former defence minister.
Massive protests don happen for different parts of di world against Netanyahu and Israel as di anger over di bombings for Gaza dey increase.
Throughout di wahala wey dey happen to Palestinians, di US dey stand gidigba behind Israel. Critics dey talk say even though Washington dey express concern about wetin dey happen for Gaza, dem never stop di supply of arms to Tel Aviv.
For di UN Security Council, di US don use dia veto six times since October 2023 to block resolutions wey wan stop di genocide for Gaza or allow humanitarian access. Di latest veto happen for September 2025, when Washington reject calls for immediate ceasefire. Dis kind action don make people dey talk say di US dey protect Israel from global accountability.
Observers dey talk say di diplomatic shield wey di US dey give Israel don help normalise Netanyahu's attack for Gaza. Im policy dey involve heavy urban warfare, mass expulsion, and di destruction of whole neighbourhoods.
Since October 2023, di US don give Israel at least $21 billion for military assistance. Dis money cover munitions, artillery shells, and missile defence systems wey dem dey use for di attack.
Last year, Washington approve one big arms deal wey include advanced fighter jets and precision-guided bombs, join di annual $3.8 billion package wey dem don already agree to dey give Israel.
Meanwhile, food shortage don affect di over 2 million people wey dey Gaza, and almost half of dem dey risk famine and malnutrition. Hospitals dey struggle with lack of blood, insulin, and medical supplies, wey dey make injured people no fit get care.
For January 2024, one five-year-old girl, Hind Rajab, die for Gaza City after Israeli forces fire bullets for her family car. She dey beg for help over phone to Red Crescent before she die. Rescuers wey go find her sef later die.
UN experts call di incident potential war crime, say e dey show di pattern of civilian targeting by Israel. Few weeks later, for February 29, Israeli troops open fire for crowd wey gather near aid trucks for northern Gaza, kill at least 118 people and wound more than 760.
Di UN call am massacre and link am to Israel use of starvation as weapon of war. Di anger grow more for April when Israeli air strike kill international aid workers, including people from US, UK, and Australia.
World leaders condemn di attack as clear breach of international law, and many humanitarian organisations suspend dia operations for Gaza.
David Gibbs, wey be author and professor of history, talk say: "Di problem na how to justify di massive US economic and military aid to Israel, wey don dey happen since di 1970s. Israel na high-income country, yet dem dey use di money to continue dia illegal occupation of West Bank and Gaza."
Despite di criticism, di weapons supply to Israel still dey increase. For August 2024, Washington approve sale of 50 new F-15IA fighter jets and other weapons. By di end of di year, Israel don receive thousands of tank cartridges, mortar rounds, and heavy vehicles.
Public opinion for US don dey change over di two years since di war start. Sympathy for Israel don reduce, especially among younger Americans and Democrats.
One Gallup poll for August 2025 show say only 32% of Americans support Israel actions for Gaza, down from 50% for late 2023. Another survey show say 53% of people no support more aid to Israel, and 40% believe say Israel dey target civilians deliberately.
Di shift dey more visible among people under 35. Pew data show say 70% of young Americans no like Israel, and more than half dey support Palestinians. Di Brookings study sef show similar pattern.
All eyes dey on di negotiations about Trump 20-point plan to end di genocide for Gaza. Hamas don agree to some parts, but Israel still dey bomb Palestinians despite di order to stop strikes.
