Hamas leader Khalil al-Hayya accused Israeli political parties of exploiting the suffering of Gazans during their election campaigns, calling their actions a misuse of human lives. In an interview, al-Hayya stated that no significant change is expected from Israel’s upcoming election, as all major parties are using the “blood” of Gazans as “fuel” for their political strategies. This accusation comes amid ongoing tensions in the region, where the conflict between Israel and Hamas has led to widespread devastation.

The Palestinian death toll from the Israel-Hamas war has surpassed 74,000 since the conflict began, according to Gaza’s Health Ministry. The figure, confirmed by multiple sources, highlights the severe humanitarian crisis in the territory. The war, which has lasted nearly three years, has caused extensive casualties and displacement, with reports of ongoing attacks and limited access to medical care.

Despite the grim situation, some international sports bodies have moved forward with planned matches involving Israeli teams. The Irish Football Association’s decision to proceed with a game against an Israeli team was praised by the Israeli Football Association, which called it a victory for football. However, this development has not eased the broader political and humanitarian concerns surrounding the conflict.
