Gaza genocide
In the Gaza Strip, dozens more civilians have fallen victim to indiscriminate Israeli air and artillery strikes since Tuesday. Media reports say 72 Palestinians were killed in Israeli raids overnight in central Gaza alone. Occupation forces also targeted the Al-Maghazi refugee camp in the city of Deir al-Balah, leaving several people including women dead. Over the past couple of days, Deir al-Balah has been repeatedly bombed and shelled by the regime’s forces. Meanwhile, the overcrowded southern city of Rafah also remained the focal point of the deadly Israeli offensive. The city is being pounded despite an international outcry and a ruling by the International Court of Justice calling Israel to halt its attacks on Rafah immediately. The Israeli genocidal war that began in early October has claimed the lives of at least 36,600 Palestinians, mostly women and children.
Recognizing Palestinian state
The Slovenian parliament has approved a government decree to recognize the State of Palestine, following similar steps recently taken by several other European countries. Fifty-two of the 90-member-parliament voted in favor of the measure. The prime minister in a social media post said his country’s recognition of Palestine as a sovereign state sends hope to the Palestinian people both in the West Bank and in Gaza. Last week, Spain, Ireland and Norway formally recognized Palestine. One hundred forty-five of the 193 members of the United Nations have so far recognized the state of Palestine as the global support for Palestinians keep growing amid Israel’s ongoing genocide in Gaza. The Tel Aviv regime is increasingly becoming isolated over its brutal war on Gaza in defiance of world public opinion and international laws.
US support for Israel
The US House of Representatives has passed a bill to impose sanctions on the International Criminal Court over potential arrest warrants for Israeli officials involved in the Gaza genocide. The legislation was approved by 247 votes, with 42 Democrats joining Republicans in backing the measure. If approved by the Senate and turned into law, it would allow the president to impose curbs, including economic sanctions and visa bans, on people involved in prosecutions of US and its allies that are not ICC members, including Israel. The move comes over week after chief ICC prosecutor Karim Khan requested arrest warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and some of his aides over war crimes and crimes against humanity in Gaza. The ICC, however, has no means to enforce such warrants if issued.
