International newspapers and websites covered the situation on the first day of the holy month of Ramadan in the Gaza Strip and Jerusalem, and what the continued economic pressures from the Israeli occupation on the West Bank could lead to.

A report in the Wall Street Journal described the beginning of Ramadan in Jerusalem as tense, and monitored clashes between the occupation police and Palestinians who tried to enter to pray in Al-Aqsa Mosque, and talked about footage showing a crowd of men, women, and children being beaten with batons as they tried to enter to pray.

While Le Monde newspaper wrote that the first day of Ramadan in Gaza was not without Israeli bombing, as the occupation forces targeted areas in the north and south of the Strip, causing the killing of dozens, noting that this is happening at a time when international fears are increasing that the situation will get out of control if Fighting continued during Ramadan.

As for the Washington Post, it reported that Israel is waging an economic war in the West Bank that has led to a difficult living reality and a sharp decline in economic activity since October 7, and quoted the Secretary-General of the Nablus Chamber of Commerce as saying that these Israeli pressures are pushing the West Bank to... the edge of the abyss.

The Guardian newspaper dealt with the signing of a letter by 12 human rights organizations in Israel accusing the government of not complying with the International Justice ruling stipulating the necessity of facilitating the arrival of aid to Gaza, and pointed out that the move by Israeli human rights groups comes at a time when calls to stop the war are repeated and international pressures on Israel are renewed.

Haaretz newspaper published an article that believed that relations between the United States and Israel had reached a turning point, and did not rule out stopping the supply of American offensive weapons later this March, if Israel failed to raise the level of aid flow towards Gaza by the end of the month, and attacked Rafah without permission. Credible plan.
