Notes: “Areas assessed to be undergoing clearing operations by IDF” are areas that ISW/CTP have identified through the use of geolocated videos, photos, remote sensing, satellite imagery and IDF reporting to be undergoing operations to clear Hamas. “Claimed furthest Israeli advances” are the most forward position of Israeli forces, as estimated by ISW/CTP through reports from official media of Palestinian militias, independent Palestinian journalists’ social media accounts, Israeli media and IDF reports. This layer is lower confidence than the clearing operations layer.</sub>

Namibia decries German support for Israel at ICJ

Namibia’s President Hage Geingob has expressed “deep concern” that Germany has failed to “draw lessons from its horrific history” after Germany announced it would support Israel against genocide charges at the International Court of Justice (ICJ).

Geingob called on Germany “to reconsider its untimely decision to intervene as a third-party in defence and support of the genocidal acts of Israel”. The Namibian president’s office described the case filed by South Africa at the world court as “morally upright” and recalled Germany’s role in the the Namibian genocide of 1904-1908.

“The German Government is yet to fully atone for the genocide it committed on Namibian soil,” a statement from the president’s office read.
