BREAKING: SOUTH AFRICA FOREIGN MINISTER OFFICIAL STATEMENT
“Israel was not deterred by the decisions of the Court of Justice and the evidence is to continue its war in Rafah
The decision to stop the fighting in Gaza is in the hands of the countries that supply Israel with money and weapons
What concerns us is that Israel is allowed to ignore the ruling of the Court of Justice and not protect civilians
The actions of the Israeli government prove what we submitted to the Court of Justice regarding genocide
We condemn the targeting of journalists in general and Al Jazeera journalists in particular, and this is a criminal act.”
The IDF forced a Palestinian man they’d detained to go to a Gaza hospital to order them to evacuate.
The IDF then shot him dead.
This is one of countless atrocities being committed by Israel.
Together they amount to one of the great crimes of our age

🔴 Gaza update:
Nasser hospital in Khan Younis, Gaza, was shelled in the early hours of this morning, despite Israeli Forces having told medical staff and patients they could remain in the facility.
Thousands of displaced people were ordered to evacuate it on 13 February...🧵
The International Criminal Court’s chief prosecutor is British. He’s issued an arrest warrant for Vladimir Putin.
Why hasn’t he done so for Benjamin Netanyahu?

NEW: Internal CNN directives force all Israel news through the Network's Jerusalem Bureau, subjecting it to oversight by the IDF censor. CNN also hired a soldier out of the IDF Spokesperson Unit to cover the aftermath of October 7th. https://t.co/X2SJRppg3Z
Tonight, @RishiSunak and his Government chose to turn their backs on the children of #Gaza yet again. By failing to vote for a #CeasefireNOW at the UN Security Council, the UK is complicit in the horror that children will endure in the coming hours, days, and weeks.
The UN Security Council is where a country that claims to uphold "democracy" and "international law" can use its veto power to override both democracy and international law.
More horrifying testimony from surviving civilians about torture, torment and humiliation. These survivors are residents of eastern Gaza city neighborhoods who were taken from their homes by invading Israeli soldiers. I will translate highlights of some stories in this thread 🧵
The Universal Declaration of Human Rights is being buried under the rubble, along with the human beings this document was written to protect.

🚨Israel is arresting Palestinian men & teenagers en masse; marking them with numbers like cattle; & subjecting them to torture & degrading treatment.
All WITHOUT charges, trial, or legal counsel...
Everyone in North Gaza is presumed & treated as guilty until proven otherwise!
What's surreal about this all is that Zionist political forces are exercising arbitrary power in increasingly extreme ways over so many facets of American life at the same moment that the public legitimacy of this power is collapsing.
This raised hand will be etched into the annals of history, inscribed on the page of disgrace.
This compromises the integrity of the #UNSC, which should be an instrument for peace, operating within the framework of Int'l Law rather than working against it.
