3 suicides in #Italy’s prisons in 24 hours.
24 suicides in 2025 so far
Unprecedented catastrophe, govt looks away, Parliamentary discussion empty. Months ago undersecretary Del Mastro (ruling party Fratelli d’Italia) told prison guards ‘it’s a joy not to let them breath’
The final stage of the genocide in Gaza promises more escalation, more intensity, more aggression, more attacks on civilian leadership, more loosening of the "constraints", more US support, more displacement of civilians, and a more Hawkish military attitude than the horrors and crimes we have witnessed since Oct 2023, according to the @washingtonpost: 1/2
"The new and more aggressive tactics, according to current and former Israeli officials and others briefed, will probably also include direct military control of humanitarian aid; targeting more of Hamas’s civilian leadership; and evacuating women, children and verified noncombatants from neighborhoods to “humanitarian bubbles” and laying siege to those who remain — a more intense version of a tactic employed last year in northern Gaza."
"But some officials say that only a full-scale invasion now, followed by a lengthy counterinsurgency and deradicalization effort, would accomplish Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s stated aim of eradicating Hamas.."
"Amir Avivi, a former deputy commander of the military’s Gaza division, said the IDF’s campaign last year was constrained by disagreements between political and military leaders over tactics and strategy, and by the Biden administration’s concerns about harm to Palestinian civilians. But the arrival of the Trump administration in the United States and changes in the Israeli defense establishment have loosened those constraints, Avivi said."
"But supporters of a more intense and lengthy operation in Gaza argue that the campaign last year only resulted in Hamas reemerging from its tunnels in crisp uniforms in January, and the political conditions are ripe now to further ratchet up military pressure and hold Gaza if necessary."
"But Trump, who took office in January, has approved the sale of the heavy bombs. And officials have said that Israel consulted with the Trump administration before cutting off all aid to Gaza in March."
"A leadership shift within the Israeli military establishment, meanwhile, has produced a hawkish shift, analysts say. Defense Minister Israel Katz and IDF chief of staff Eyal Zamir replaced officials who sometimes clashed with Netanyahu."

The UK is deeply complicit in #Israel's war crimes, continuing to provide F-35 parts as Israel flagrantly violates #IHL. This time killing at least 413 Palestinians incl. many children overnight.
On Thursday Israel received three new F-35 jets made with UK components🧵
A group of young Syrians in #Homs organized a donation campaign to support families affected by the recent violence on the #SyrianCoast. Volunteers gathered clothes, food and medicine at four collection locations across the city and successfully sent aid convoys to the devastated areas.
UN Commission: “There is no escape from the conclusion that Israel has employed sexual and gender-based violence against Palestinians to terrorise them and perpetuate a system of oppression that undermines their right to self-determination.” https://t.co/QsDny8Bd6P
At the summit last week on 4 March, a new plan for Gaza’s reconstruction was presented by Arab leaders as an alternative to Trump’s plan to expel Palestinians from Gaza. Our analysis indicates that this initiative—which has gained support from the European Council—includes an architectural master plan that carries forward key elements of Israel’s designed destruction of Gaza (as addressed in our Cartography of Genocide report https://t.co/Fu62Ji0mK5), with its proposal for a ‘buffer zone’, security corridors, and raid routes.
Extremely dangerous: Israel is silently executing a displacement plan for Palestinians by blocking fuel entry for waste collection and treatment.
Gaza is drowning in a sea of waste and environmental disasters.
Shameful to see the EU parroting Israeli government disinformation — ignoring that it is Israel that is refusing to abide by the terms of the ceasefire deal it agreed.

Di certo il procedimento su torture in #Libia compromesso
