A thread of states that have said they will honour and/or welcome the ICC warrants issued for Israeli officials Netanyahu and Gallant.

This highlights Israel’s growing isolation as they won’t be able to enter these countries on pain of arrest.

Netherlands 🇳🇱

🧵
Belgium 🇧🇪

Deputy PM calls for sanctions against Israel too.
Jordan 🇯🇴

Jordan’s FM, @AymanHsafadi, says the decision for the warrants must be respected and implemented.

[Note: Jordan failed in this regard when they didn’t effect an ICC arrest warrant for Sudan’s Omar Al-Bashir in 2017]
European Union 🇪🇺

EU Foreign Affairs chief, @JosepBorrellF, says decisions of the court have to be implemented, and all (27) EU member states must enforce it.
Ireland 🇮🇪

“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.”
Hungary 🇭🇺

Worth noting states that are willing to disgrace themselves at such a crucial period — an epoch — despite overwhelming evidence that justifies the warrants.
Canada 🇨🇦

(A huge one for obvious reasons)
Algeria 🇩🇿

Emphatic and clear-eyed statement.
Austria 🇦🇹

Another nation willing to shame itself in the history books.
Italy 🇮🇹

Defence Minister says Italy would have to arrest Netanyahu (and Gallant) if he came to Italy.
UK 🇬🇧 (yes, but..wavering)

Backs ICC, but won’t get into hypotheticals about Netanyahu and Gallant coming to the country. Says it is a matter for the domestic courts.
Spain 🇪🇸

2nd Deputy PM says genocide of Palestinians cannot go unpunished.
Norway 🇳🇴

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”

regjeringen.no/no/aktuelt/utt…
Maldives 🇲🇻

Very firm and consistent support for Palestine and Palestinians.
Australia 🇦🇺 (a half hearted yes)
Slovenia 🇸🇮

Respects the court and the charges.
Finland 🇫🇮

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”

Clear.
yle.fi/a/74-20126365
Liechtenstein 🇱🇮

Basically saying they’ll abide by the warrant requests.
China 🇨🇳

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).
Cyprus 🇨🇾

Bibi’s world shrinks further.
Germany 🇩🇪

Says Berlin notes the ICC arrest warrants, and will consider its next steps if Netanyahu and Gallant try to visit Germany.

bundesregierung.de/breg-de/aktuel…
Germany 🇩🇪 (again)

Disgraceful, but expected.

Israeli supporters in tonight’s game between France and Israel at Stade de France beat up a French man.

Dozens of masked fans wearing Israeli flags can be seen laying into him, while the crowd boos. A lynching.
A closer view of what is a very brutal scene.

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.

According to witnesses a woman was among those beaten by the Israeli fans.

They’re leaving their country and wreaking havoc in other nations.

Israel should have been suspended from international football long ago, entirely deserving of global isolation.

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.

This specific section of Gaza is being squeezed dead.

North Gaza Governorate; Beit Hanoun, Beit Lahia, Jabalia.

No aid has entered since 1st Oct.

Quadcopters are murdering crowds of Palestinians, fighter jets razing blocks and dropping barrel bombs.

A complete death zone. Image
Jabalia:

Israeli air force targeted a horse cart carrying Palestinians, killing five, brutally beheading the horse.
Jabalia:

A photo from today.

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.

Absolutely astonishing.

American intelligence documents have been leaked on a Telegram account linked to Iran about Israel’s preparations for its attack on Iran.

The U.S.’ MoD and DNI did not deny the authenticity of the documents.

news.walla.co.il/item/3698781#g…
A senior Israeli official [likely Gallant, Bar or Barnea] said that the security establishment is aware of the leak and takes it very seriously.

The Telegram channel said it had received the docs from a source *in* the American intelligence community.
The docs are from NGIA, detailing extensive preparations for strikes from Israel on Iran.

The scope and scale of preparations is suggestive of a huge attack.

Sequence of events details leading to Sinwar’s death🧵

• Yesterday at 10:00am an IDF soldier from Battalion 450 recognised a suspicious figure in the building and fired on him.

• At 15:00pm IDF soldiers recognised from a UAV three figures coming out moving house to house.

1/
• An appreciation is made that the 3 are militants.

• 2 of the militants were covered with blankets; likely not Sinwar, [now assumed] they were going ahead to cover the area for him as they moved.

• The IDF soldiers then opened fire on the militants

2/
• The militants were wounded and began to disperse. Two entered one building, and Sinwar entered another.

• More IDF shooting continued; this was in the form of tank shelling and light weapon shooting

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/
🧵 Image
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/ Image
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.
