Netanyahu is still angling to draw the US into war with Iran.
Netanyahu says Iran fighting Israel on several fronts
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says Tehran’s goal is “a combined ground attack from several fronts, in addition to a combined missile launch”.
“Iran is fighting us from seven fronts: of course, Hamas, Hezbollah, the Houthis, the militias of Iraq and Syria, Judea and Samaria [occupied West Bank], and Iran itself,” he told a delegation of retired generals and admirals, his office posted on X.
“Our first duty is to cut off the hand – Hamas. Whoever does such a thing to us simply won’t be here … I don’t think it will be very long, but we will get rid of them.”
Pressure on the ICC is working
ICC allows UK to challenge jurisdiction over alleged Israeli crimes in Gaza
Judges at the International Criminal Court (ICC) ruled the United Kingdom can submit legal arguments to judges mulling the prosecution’s request for arrest warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defence Minister Yoav Gallant.
Court documents made public showed the United Kingdom, an ICC member state, filed a request with the court earlier this month to provide written observations on whether “the court can exercise jurisdiction over Israeli nationals, in circumstances where Palestine cannot exercise criminal jurisdiction over Israeli nationals [under] the Oslo Accords”.
Granting the UK’s request might delay the judges’ pending decision on arrest warrants for Netanyahu and Gallant over Israel’s war on Gaza, as ICC prosecutor Karim Khan requested in May.
Khan announced that his office had “reasonable grounds” to believe Netanyahu and Gallant bear “criminal responsibility” for “war crimes and crimes against humanity”.
The ICC already established jurisdiction in 2021, but under pressure, now it's revisiting that decision again
GENEVA (9 February 2021) – A UN human rights expert said today the International Criminal Court's (ICC) ruling that it has jurisdiction over grave crimes committed in occupied Palestinian territory, including potential war crimes, is a major move towards ending impunity and ensuring justice.
It took 6 years to get to that point after Palestine filed for an investigation into war crimes committed in the 2014 war on Gaza. The UK is trying to turn the clock back again, further undermining international law. Complicit in genocide on all fronts.
‘Genocide denial’: Representative Tlaib blasts Gaza death toll ban
US Representative Rashida Tlaib denounced a move in the House to prevent the State Department from citing the number of dead Palestinians in Israel’s war on Gaza.
“Six children, Mr Speaker, six are killed in Gaza every single hour. But Palestinians are not just numbers. Behind these numbers are real people — mothers, fathers, sons, daughters who have had their lives stolen from them and their families torn apart, and we should not be trying to hide it,” Tlaib said on the floor of the House of Representatives.
“Where is our shared humanity in this chamber? There is so much anti-Palestinian racism in this chamber that my colleagues don’t even want to acknowledge that Palestinians exist at all, not when they’re alive and now not even when they’re dead,” said Tlaib, the first Palestinian-American woman to serve in the US Congress.
“It’s absolutely disgusting. This is genocide denial.”
