Madrid Mayor José Luis Martínez Almeida stated there is "no genocide in Gaza" on September 15th, 2025, according to a post on X. This statement comes amidst ongoing Israeli military operations in Gaza, with heavy bombings reported in the Gaza Strip during previous reporting windows. Earlier this morning, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) estimated that over 320,000 Palestinians had evacuated Gaza City ahead of a planned offensive. The IDF ordered all of Gaza City to evacuate last week, directing civilians to a humanitarian zone in the south. Approximately 20,000 people reportedly left Gaza City overnight. During the past 24 hours, President Donald Trump reiterated his stance on Qatar as a significant ally and urged Israel to exercise caution in its Gaza operations, according to statements made on September 15th and September 14th. These remarks were shared via the White House pool and on X by Barak Ravid. Concerns regarding the political echelon and uncertainty about the campaign were also voiced by a Chief of Staff in the Secret Committee, who expressed reservations about the Prime Minister's intentions for a military government in Gaza.
