Mohammed Imran, Ehab al-Helou, and Sabrine Mahmoud: three reactions to Netanyahu’s decision to occupy all of the Gaza strip

Mohammed Imran from Khan Younis said the change in terminology from “occupation” to “control” made little difference. “Replace the word ‘occupation’ with ‘control’ – the meaning and the result are the same: destruction and displacement,” he told the BBC. “We have nothing but God as long as those holding power in Gaza (Hamas) have lost their minds.”

Ehab al-Helou, activist and social media influencer: “I swear to God, Hamas leaders are living in a science fiction world. Have mercy on the people. Who are you to decide to sacrifice us?” he posted online.

Sabrine Mahmoud: “I will not leave my house. We will not live through displacement again. We left Gaza City for a whole year and endured the harshest humiliation in al-Mawasi. We will not repeat the mistake. Let them destroy the house over our heads – we will not leave.”
