The UN General Assembly overwhelmingly voted to ask the ICJ to issue an opinion on the legality of Israel’s latest legislative attack on the primary humanitarian group for Palestinians in Gaza and elsewhere as experts and advocates say such attacks warrant expulsion from the international body.
The resolution, brought by Norway, passed on Thursday, 137 to 12, with the United States, Argentina and Israel voting against it.
Germany on Friday expressed dismay over a Human Rights Watch report which accused Israel of committing “acts of genocide” in Gaza by deliberately depriving Palestinian civilians there of adequate access to water
“These reports are of course shocking. And I think it is really urgent that the Israeli government, so to speak, deals with these allegations and addresses them,” deputy Foreign Ministry spokesperson Christian Wagner said.
Marina Hyde points out: 'the absolutely crucial thing to grasp about the Post Office scandal is that there are two classes of people in this story – the sort of little people who go to prison & the sort of big people who wrongly send them there, yet fail upwards thereafter'!
As compensation is still delayed & prosecutions for their actions seem unlikely for PO managers, the Post Office scandal has become exemplary of the cancer eating away at British society!
An Israeli air strike has killed 10 members of a family, including seven children, in the northern part of the Gaza Strip, the Palestinian Civil Defence rescue agency has reported.
A video posted by the agency on Friday evening showed its staff retrieving victims from under the rubble.
The Israeli army told AFP it had struck “several terrorists who were operating in a military structure belonging to the Hamas terrorist organisation”.

For forty protestors in prison (nearly half on remand & therefore still formal innocent of any crime), this is very much not the season of goodwill....
The UK (as we know) leads the democratic world in locking up protestors; its not a good indicator of how we value democracy....
Protest is a vital part of democracy, cracking down on it in such a forceful manner tells us much about what the Govt. really thinks about dissent...

Bon en l'état, ça va tenir a priori, mais je suis curieux. :D
J'aurais même pas songé à trouver un document de chez Pomme™ sur les zinternettes.
Pourtant ça se trouve !

Pope Francis has condemned the bombing of children in Gaza as “cruelty”, a day after the enclave’s rescue agency said an Israeli air attack killed seven children from one family.
“Yesterday children were bombed. This is cruelty, this is not war. I want to say it because it touches my heart,” he told an audience of members of the government of the Holy See.
Since the start of Israel’s war, the besieged enclave has turned into a graveyard for thousands of children, the UN said. At least 17,400 children have been killed by Israeli forces, according to Palestinian officials.
That is one child killed every 30 minutes. Thousands more are missing under the rubble, most of them presumed dead.
The code is not pretty, but may help to understand some of the mysterious registers. Let me know if you're interested in exchanging some findings and/or sharing some code.
Israeli soldiers revealed Friday that the army killed Palestinian civilians who entered previously targeted buildings in the Gaza Strip.
The Haaretz newspaper in Israel said the army “does not routinely update its list of targets in Gaza, nor does it indicate to forces on the ground which structures are no longer being used” by fighters.
“As a result, anyone – including noncombatants – who enters such a building risks being attacked,” it said.

Can't listen to this nonsense from the Germans anymore. The Hague will hopefully punish them soon.
According to MME:
In 2023, approved arms exports to Israel increased tenfold compared to the previous year, and over 80 percent of licence applications were granted after 7 October. The licensing volume for war weapons amounted to over $21m in 2023, and as much as $344m for military equipment.
