The Israeli Army Is Facing Its Biggest Refusal Crisis in Decades Published April 11, 2025 No one can state precise numbers. No political party or leader calls for it explicitly. But anyone who has spent time at anti-government protests or on Hebrew-language social media in recent weeks knows it to be true: it is becoming increasingly legitimate to refuse to report for military service in Israel — and not only among the radical left.

↗ Jakkoli je plošný odsun palestinského obyvatelstva Pásma Gazy nejspíše neproveditelný, sama snaha o něj povede pravděpodobně k ještě horším zločinům, než jaké byly doposud spáchány — ke vzniku koncentračních táborů, k systematickému ničení celé enklávy i k přímému vyhlazování.

Due settimane fa il giornalista di destra israeliano Yinon Magal ha scritto su X: “Questa volta l’esercito israeliano intende evacuare tutti gli abitanti della Striscia di Gaza in una nuova zona umanitaria che sarà predisposta per una permanenza a lungo termine, sarà recintata, e tutti quelli che ci entrano saranno controllati per verificare che non siano terroristi. L’esercito non permetterà a una popolazione criminale di rifiutare l’evacuazione.

Two weeks ago, the right-wing Israeli journalist Yinon Magal posted the following on X: “This time, the IDF intends to evacuate all residents of the Gaza Strip to a new humanitarian zone that will be arranged for long-term stay, will be enclosed, and anyone entering it will first be checked to ensure they are not a terrorist. The IDF will not allow a rogue population to refuse evacuation this time. Anyone remaining outside the humanitarian zone will be implicated.

Israel's renewed war on Gaza, which on Tuesday killed more than 400 Palestinians, including over 100 children, is perhaps the most blatant politically motivated Israeli military move since the beginning of the conflict. Meanwhile, expulsion orders are forcibly displacing thousands of Palestinians across Gaza once again. Even Amos Harel, the moderate military commentator for Haaretz, defined the attack as a war for the sake of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's government.

At the end of October 2023, Local Call published the full text of a plan formulated by Gila Gamliel, then Israel’s minister of intelligence, for the “evacuation of the civilian population from Gaza to Sinai”. The plan received extensive coverage around the world and was viewed as proof that Israel's real goal in its war in Gaza - at that time still in the aerial bombing phase before the ground invasion - was not to “eliminate Hamas” but to expel the Palestinians from Gaza.

At the end of last month, the United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA) — the main humanitarian organization for Palestinian refugees in Gaza, the West Bank, and across the Middle East — found itself in uncharted waters. In October, the Israeli Knesset had passed two laws targeting the agency, which came into effect on Jan. 30.

Nel settembre 2020, verso la fine del suo primo mandato presidenziale, Donald Trump aveva patrocinato la firma degli accordi di Abramo tra Israele, Emirati Arabi Uniti e Bahrein sul prato della Casa Bianca. Gli accordi, a cui nei mesi successivi avrebbero aderito anche Sudan e Marocco, furono presentati come “accordi di pace”, ma sarebbe stato più corretto definirli “accordi per emarginare il popolo palestinese”.
