“Ireland is a strong supporter of the ICC and calls on all States to respect its independence and impartiality, with no attempts made to undermine the court.”
Worth noting states that are willing to disgrace themselves at such a crucial period — an epoch — despite overwhelming evidence that justifies the warrants.
Says “ICC plays a crucial role in ensuring accountability for serious crimes […] It is important that the ICC carries out its mandate in a judicious manner. […] the Court will proceed with the case based on the highest fair trial standards”
Says “Finland defends a system based on the fundamental principles of international law, and ICC contracting states have a duty to cooperate with the court. This also includes the duty to detain the subjects of arrest warrants”
Not a signatory to the Rome Statute, but seizes the moment to call out America’s hypocrisy over supporting the ICC for Putin, but not Netanyahu (China takes a reverse position to U.S. on Putin compared to Netanyahu).
Possibly individuals aligned with the far-right Zionist organisation, Betar, who had earlier posted a menacing image of masked man with sticks in Paris in a now-deleted post.
Thread of states around the world condemning Israel for its UNRWA legislation.
NOTE: The legislation violates the UN Charter, and also stands in opposition to the provisional measures indicated by the ICJ in the genocide case initiated by South Africa.
5,000 Palestinians [as relayed by the IDF’s Arabic spokesman] have been forced out of Jabalia, their mass displacement being vital to the project of ethnic cleansing in North Gaza.
The IDF is today enacting its plan to ethnically cleanse northern Gaza of Palestinians in order to implement a siege.
This morning the IDF’s Arabic spokesman issued a new evacuation (forced displacement) order, calling on northern Gazans to relocate south via two routes.
1/ 🧵
For 3 weeks+ it has been rumoured in Israeli press Netanyahu had been weighing up a plan to lay siege on northern Gaza.
‘The Generals Plan’, presented by Maj. Gen. Giora Eiland (ret.), would see evacs for a week in N.Gaza, then see the area become a kill zone w/ no supplies.
2/
Some 300k Gazans are estimated to still be in N.Gaza.
Eiland et al are convinced the siege plan is solid citing IHL compliance
However, IHL is silent on sieges, and plans for its implementation run contrary to a host of IHL provisions, e.g. kill zone, use of starvation.
