“New global law” when the ICC builds on about 100 years of international criminal law, which itself was used by the Allies in prosecuting Nazi Germany after WW2 as well as a number of later ad hoc tribunals. But now that the US and Israel are potential criminals…

[Secretary Marco Rubio @SecRubio]

The International Criminal Court seeks to become the unaccountable arbiter of a new global law — empowered to prosecute and arrest our citizens at will and existentially threaten American sovereignty.

We will teach the ICC the full meaning of American resolve.

[Francesca Albanese, UN Special Rapporteur oPt @FranceskAlbs]

EXPLOSIVE! An arrest warrant should be promptly issued against this self-confessed war criminal.

The more Israeli leaders get away with their crimes, the more the system meant to protect us all gets irreparably destroyed.

It’s begun: The Great Rewriting of History by the politicians, journalists, media commentators who stayed quiet over Gaza to keep climbing the greasy pole - while a handful of us who spoke-up were smeared, abused, or fired.

As @Hamza_a96 says, don’t let them do it:

Ustedes me secuestraron en altamar. En la cárcel me separaron del grupo, me metieron a un contenedor, me esposaron, botaron al piso y me golpearon por más de tres horas hasta causarme una conmoción cerebral.

[Zia Yusuf @ZiaYusufUK]

Today we announce a new policy:

In order to deport all illegal migrants in Britain, Reform will need to detain tens of thousands at a time.

Migrants will not be able to leave these detention centres, and each will be held there a couple of weeks before being deported.

So here’s our promise:

A Reform government will not put any migrant detention facilities in any constituency with a Reform MP.

Nor will we put them where Reform controls the council.

And of the remaining areas, we will prioritise Green controlled parliamentary constituencies and Green controlled councils to locate the detention centres.

Put simply, if you vote in a Reform council or Reform MP, we guarantee you won’t have a detention centre near you.

If you vote Green, there’s a good chance you will.

This is an important exercise in democratic consent, not just for our mass deportation policy, but for where the detention centres are placed.

Given @ZackPolanski openly advocates for open borders, I look forward to their warm embrace of this policy.

Crazy what you can convince desis of if you just say a few words in English with confidence

[Jason @jason_thet_17]

Will always be funny when Pakistanis act like this because Pakistan is so similar to Israel. Formed a religious state, used a non-native language to unite masses, drove out many native populations, bombs its neighbors unprovoked, occupies land and its people illegally etc.

[Council Estate Media @cem_uk_]

It's extraordinary how Israel can go on a murderous rampage and steal land from three different countries at the same time and our leaders will look you dead in the eye and say Iran is the rogue state in the region

Lebanon asks for Pakistan’s support in stopping Israeli strikes and a few hours later Israel agrees to talks

[Prime Minister of Israel @IsraeliPM]

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu:

"In light of Lebanon's repeated requests to open direct negotiations with Israel, I instructed at the Government meeting yesterday to open direct negotiations with Lebanon as soon as possible.

1/2

[Pedro Sánchez @sanchezcastejon]

Justo hoy, Netanyahu lanza su ataque más duro contra el Líbano desde que empezó la ofensiva.

Su desprecio por la vida y el derecho internacional es intolerable.

Toca hablar claro:

- Líbano debe formar parte del alto al fuego.

- La comunidad internacional debe condenar esta nueva violación del derecho internacional.

- La Unión Europea debe suspender su Acuerdo de Asociación con Israel.

- Y no debe haber impunidad ante estos actos criminales.

Apart from the fact that we seem to have been saved from madness and disaster, it’s a big hats off this evening to #Pakistan.
