Israel-Hamas
The Israel-Hamas War has resulted in the complete shut-off of internet and phones in Gaza.
“Silenced Voices: The Internet and Phone Shutdown in Gaza during the Israel-Hamas War”
Introduction
The Israel-Hamas conflict, a longstanding and deeply complex issue, has once again erupted, bringing with it dire consequences for the people living in the Gaza Strip. One of the most concerning developments during this latest round of hostilities is the complete shut-off of internet and phone services in Gaza. In this blog, we explore the ramifications of this blackout and the impact it has on the lives of Gazans during this challenging time.
The Digital Silence in Gaza
The decision to cut off internet and phone services in Gaza is a measure often taken during times of conflict to prevent the spread of information, communication, and coordination among combatants. However, this blackout goes beyond its intended targets and profoundly affects the civilian population.
- Information Blackout:
The absence of internet and phone services means that the people of Gaza are isolated from the world, unable to access vital information, news updates, or communicate with their loved ones. This isolation exacerbates the feeling of uncertainty and insecurity in an already precarious situation.
- Humanitarian Consequences:
In a region already grappling with limited resources and access to basic necessities, the blackout poses severe humanitarian challenges. It disrupts critical services, including emergency medical assistance, humanitarian aid coordination, and education. Additionally, the blackout hampers the work of NGOs and international agencies that provide essential support to Gaza.
- Psychological Toll:
The blackout intensifies the emotional and psychological strain on the people of Gaza. Unable to connect with the outside world and receive emotional support from friends and family, Gazans are left feeling trapped and isolated, adding to the trauma of living in a conflict zone.
- Economic Impact:
From local businesses to online freelancers, the blackout disrupts various aspects of Gaza’s economy. Many businesses are forced to cease operations, leading to financial losses and increasing unemployment in an already challenging economic environment.
- Press Freedom:
The blackout hinders the work of local and international journalists, making it difficult to cover events and share news from the ground. This restriction on the freedom of the press is a cause for concern as it hinders the transparency and accountability required during times of conflict.
The Complex Reality of the Conflict
The Israel-Hamas conflict is marked by its deeply rooted historical, political, and territorial factors, making it one of the most complex and protracted conflicts in the world. The blackout of internet and phone services is just one facet of the broader challenges faced by those living in the region.
Conclusion
The shutdown of internet and phone services in Gaza during the Israel-Hamas conflict has far-reaching consequences for the people of Gaza. While the blackout may serve security interests, it comes at a great cost to civilians who are left in the dark, both literally and figuratively. As the conflict continues, it is essential to remember the human toll it exacts on the lives of those affected and to work towards a peaceful resolution that addresses the underlying issues driving the conflict.

In front of a NYC display honoring the martyrs of October 7, anti-Israel demonstrators ignite flares and shout, “Long Live the Intifada.”
A crowd of anti-Israel demonstrators gathered in front of a memorial in downtown Manhattan honoring those killed on October 7, 2018, at the Nova Music Festival in Israel by Hamas terrorists. In front of the Nova Music Festival Exhibition on Wall Street, the audience indulged in a wicked celebration that included burning flares and waving a flag connected with the terrorist organization Hezbollah, which is backed by Iran.
During their altercation with police on Monday, June 8, the demonstrators chanted “Israel go to hell.” The pro-Palestinian organization Within Our Lifetime organized the protest, which got underway in Union Square. There were demonstrators who were spotted spreading a flag that said, “Long live October 7th.” “Long Live the Intifada” was even chanted by others.
In their comments on the video above, other X users denounced the behavior, saying, “This is utterly disgusting and shameful.” They are all capable of being killers and terrorists. These are the same folks who have demonstrated against Jewish hospitals and Holocaust museums, which is utterly repugnant. One user added, “There is no limit to their hatred,” while another stated, “These morally bankrupt hellions embody vacuous minds of intellectual bankruptcy and unbridled evil, showing depths of depravity while spreading malignancy without conscience or reason.”
“Expose them all and deport them. NYC was once really amazing. One person remarked, “Now it’s literally hell on earth.” Another said, “After an hour away from Twitter, I find this horror show.” The terror of Hamas never ends. This is getting old to me. “They should be arrested!” one person wrote. WE have traded a lie for the truth. It’s completely heinous and wicked in every way that can be imagined. Why do the people in the masses not speak up and expose these miscreants? A nation rises when its citizens are righteous, but it descends to the depths of hell when they are wicked.
The Nova Exhibit was originally scheduled to close on Sunday, but following the protest, it was revealed that it would stay open until June 22. According to its official website, “the installation sets out to recreate an event dedicated to peace and love that was brutally cut short by Hamas’s attack on Israel from Gaza on that fateful day.”

Israel-Hamas
Hamas claims that if Israel ends the conflict in Gaza, it is prepared for a “full agreement.”
Regarding the ongoing aggression, Hamas announced on Thursday that it had informed mediators that it would not engage in further talks. However, it was prepared to reach a “complete agreement” that would include the handover of prisoners and hostages in exchange for Israel ceasing the conflict.
Negotiations to set up a truce between Israel and the Islamist movement in the Gaza War have frequently broken down, with both parties blaming the other for the lack of progress. These negotiations are being mediated by Egypt and Qatar, among others.
The most recent statement from Hamas was released as Israel continued its onslaught on Rafah, a city in southern Gaza, in defiance of an order by the highest U.N. court, the International Court of Justice (ICJ), to stop the airstrikes.
“Hamas and the Palestinian factions will not accept to be part of this policy by continuing (ceasefire) negotiations in light of the aggression, siege, starvation and genocide of our people” , the statement issued by Hamas said.
“Today, we informed the mediators of our clear position that if the occupation stops its war and aggression against our people in Gaza, our readiness (is) to reach a complete agreement that includes a comprehensive exchange deal,” it stated.
Israel has declared that it is determined to destroy an organisation that is set on destroying it and has rejected previous offers from Hamas as inadequate. It claims that the goals of the Rafah offensive are to free captives and eliminate Hamas fighters.
According to the health ministry there, Israel’s offensive has killed close to 36,000 Palestinians in all of Gaza. Israel began the operation after militants led by Hamas stormed villages in southern Israel on October 7, 2018, killing almost 1,200 people and taking over 250 captives, according to Israeli estimates.

After the Rafah tragedy, Nikki Haley came under fire for writing “finish them” on an Israeli shell and “deport her back to India”
Nikki Haley, a former contender for the US presidency, is coming under fire for writing “Finish Them” on an Israeli shell while touring locations close to Lebanon’s northern border.
An incensed social media user posted, “I support DEPORTING NIKKI HALEY to her ancestral homeland of India,” following the global success of her statement on an Israeli IDF bomb.
Danny Danon, a former UN ambassador and member of the Israeli Knesset who went with Haley on the visit, shared a photo of her on X that showed her kneeling and writing with a purple pen on a shell.
Danon wrote, “‘Finish Them.’” in her post. My buddy, the former ambassador Nikki Haley, wrote this, and it included the contentious photo.
Her speech has drawn criticism for being inflammatory and inconsiderate, especially in light of the ongoing genocide in Rafah and its effects on people. Social media is rife with complaints about Haley’s behaviour:
One X user said, “Shame on her existence, she is evil!”
“In the end, these missiles are going to be deployed to kill children and innocent bystanders. A third person said, “This is terrorism.”
The White House has declared that President Joe Biden does not intend to alter his Israel policy, despite the ongoing protests. Despite a tragic attack on Rafah over the weekend, he made it clear that he is not disregarding the pain of Palestinian residents.
Haley, who withdrew her quest for the presidency in March following a string of losses to Trump in Republican primary contests, announced her plan to support him lately. She is still a viable candidate for president in 2028, despite Trump ruling her out as a vice presidential candidate.
Following Hamas’s October 7 onslaught on southern Israel, which claimed 1,189 lives, the majority of them civilians, Israeli officials said that the Gaza battle intensified. In addition, 252 captives were taken by terrorists; 121 of them are still in Gaza, including 37 who the Israeli army claims are dead. The health ministry of Gaza reports that at least 36,096 individuals have died as a result of Israel’s retaliatory strikes, the majority of them were civilians.
