The #IJC ordered #Israel on Fri to “immediately halt” its offensive in #Rafah in south #Gaza. The court cited “exceptionally grave” developments for the already “extremely vulnerable” population in Rafah…,& said it was “not convinced that the evacuation effort” for #Palestinian#civilians in Gaza is sufficient to “alleviate the immense risk.” Israel, which has rejected the genocide charges,…described the case as “divorced from the facts.”
We know of first cases of executions of civilians by the Russian military
Report of a case when #Vovchansk resident was killed by #Russian soldiers. Police investigators had opened a criminal case on the grounds of violations of rules of war
Other #civilians are being taken into captivity and forced into basements, according to the minister.
The #Republican-led UnitedStates House of
Representatives passed a bill on Thurs that would force President Joe #Biden to send weapons to Israel, seeking to rebuke the Democrat for delaying bomb shipments as he urges Israel to do more to protect #civilians during its war w/ #Hamas.
The #Israel Security Assistance Support Act was approved 224 to 187, largely along party lines. 16 #Democrats joined most Republicans in voting yes, & 3 #Republicans joined most Democrats in opposing the measure.
The act is not expected to become #law, but its passage underscored the deep #US#election-year divide over Israel policy as PM Benjamin #Netanyahu's government seeks to wipe out militants who attacked Israel on #Oct7….
“#Civilians have been killed in #Gaza as a consequence of those bombs & other ways in which they go after population centers,” #Biden said in an interview airing Wed evening on CNN, referring to 2k-pound #bombs supplied by the #US “I made it clear that if they go into #Rafah — they haven’t gone in…yet — if they go…, I’m not supplying the #weapons that have been used historically to deal …with the cities….”
@RememberUsAlways@palestine@israel These are the words of a racist fascistic idiot that does not understand the difference in order in magnitude between the two, nor how the hostages are held to stop genocide that precedes taking hostages taking for decades. Fascists playing the victim only incur further scorn and violence.
