A former Israeli general, Giora Eiland, has said that Israel “must create an unprecedented humanitarian disaster in Gaza”, saying that the "ultimate tool" is damage to the water system.
“Only the mobilisation of tens of thousands and the cry of the international community will create the leverage for Gaza to be either without Hamas or without people. We are in an existential war,” he added.
People in Gaza have been without water for days now, with a growing risk of disease spreading and people living without their basic needs.
