South Africa’s top diplomat said in an interview last week that there is “no chance” his country backs down from its genocide case against Israel in the International Court of Justice—even with new actions taken by the Trump administration to bully the country into submission to protect Tel Aviv from facing justice over its actions in Gaza.
U.S. President Donald Trump last week remained resolute on his proposal to take Gaza despite international law and indicated that Washington can just swoop in and claim the ruined enclave.
Totally absent from the U.S. and most of the Western media who support the Israel War, satellite images viewed by Al Jazeera show that the Israeli military continues to destroy homes inside Gaza, despite the ceasefire and have constructed new fortifications along the Rafah crossing and in the northern outskirts of the city.
Israel has intensified its crackdown in the West Bank that has resulted in the displacement of at least 26,000 Palestinians—claiming that these operations have targeted terror cells within the territory.
U.S. President Donald Trump has angered Arabs and even some allies with his recent proposals to force Gazans out of the wrecked enclave to make way for a major development project built on the remains of the Palestinians killed by Israel’s 15-month-long genocide.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu warned Hamas on Tuesday that Israel will resume intense fighting in Gaza if the hostages are not returned by noon Saturday—just a day after U.S. President Donald Trump said “all hell is going to break loose in the enclave” if the Israelis are not returned.
U.S. President Donald Trump sent another message to Hamas warning the group that “all hell is going to break out” if it does not release the remaining hostages.
Gideon Saar, the Israeli foreign minister, announced last week that Israel will no longer participate in the United Nations Human Rights Council (UNHRC) over the body’s blatant antisemitism and “unrelenting institutional bias against Israel,” which has been persistent since its inception in 2006.
President Donald Trump last week issued an executive order against the International Criminal Court (ICC) that imposed sanctions on members of the judicial body over “illegitimate and baseless actions” against the U.S. and Israel.
What we had previously reported, going back to October 2023, is now finally being admitted by Israel.
