„Das Verfahren drĂŒckt eine Art der internationalen SolidaritĂ€t aus, die seit dem Kalten Krieg völlig in Vergessenheit geraten ist“

Was sind die konkreten VorwĂŒrfe SĂŒdafrikas an Israel, können Sie das einmal nĂ€her ausfĂŒhren?

ZunĂ€chst muss ich auf die ungeheure Symbolkraft und emotionale Wucht dieses Verfahrens eingehen, das Menschen auf der ganzen Welt elektrisiert. Diese Wucht hat vor allem mit vier Dingen zu tun: Erstens drĂŒckt das Verfahren eine internationale SolidaritĂ€t aus, die seit dem Kalten Krieg völlig in Vergessenheit geraten ist. In der dunkelsten Stunde der Not, um es einmal pathetisch auszudrĂŒcken, erscheint einer völlig am Boden liegenden und ‚von allen guten Geistern verlassenen‘ palĂ€stinensischen Nation ein ‚Retter‘, ein Licht am Ende des Tunnels – jemand, der ohne offensichtlichen Eigennutz plötzlich fĂŒr palĂ€stinensische Rechte eintritt…

Gaza crisis: Babies being born ‘into hell’ amid desperate aid shortages

(19.01.2024)

“Mothers face unimaginable challenges in accessing adequate medical care, nutrition and protection before, during and after giving birth,” said UNICEF Communications Specialist Tess Ingram.

“Becoming a mother should be a time for celebration. In Gaza, it‘s another child delivered into hell.”

Echoing deep concerns about the deteriorating humanitarian situation, UN World Health Organization (WHO) Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus expressed alarm that hepatitis A infections had been confirmed in Gaza.

#Gaza: „Humanity cannot allow this warped version of normal to persist any longer“-Tess Ingram, @UNICEF Communication Specialist

Replying to @CIJ_ICJ Please do not waste time. Hundreds are dying in Gaza and the West Bank each day. The ethnic cleansing, apartheid, occupation, summary killings and genocide must be stopped. I have faith in the court that can deliver a global justice and send a unified message of Never Again

Gaza war: Why did Arab states not join South Africa‘s case against Israel in the ICJ?

All Arab countries, including Saudi Arabia and Egypt, have issued many statements condemning Israel‘s assault on Gaza, but they did not take any further action. Saudi Arabia and the Arab League waited for more than a month of onslaught in Gaza to hold a summit in Riyadh to discuss the issue.

The summit decided to break the siege and blockade, but Arab countries never turned this resolution into action. Instead, Egypt obeyed Israeli commands and refused to give access to move injured civilians for treatment outside of Gaza unless Israel approved their names.

Der Amri-Komplex: Ein Terroranschlag, zwölf Tote und die Verstrickungen des Staates

Am 19. Dezember 2016 kam es auf dem Weihnachtsmarkt am Berliner Breitscheidplatz zu einer LKW-Attacke, die insgesamt zwölf Menschen das Leben kostete. FĂŒr diesen schwersten Terroranschlag in Deutschland seit der Bombe auf das MĂŒnchner Oktoberfest von 1980 gilt laut offizieller Version der Tunesier Anis Amri noch immer als alleiniger TĂ€ter. Doch nach ĂŒber vierjĂ€hriger AufklĂ€rung in mehreren parlamentarischen UntersuchungsausschĂŒssen gibt es daran begrĂŒndete Zweifel. Wenn nicht Amri, wer saß dann am Steuer des LKW? Wer waren die MittĂ€ter und Helfer? Und warum haben die deutschen Sicherheitsbehörden kein Interesse, die wahren HintergrĂŒnde aufzuklĂ€ren? Thomas Moser macht deutlich: Die ungeklĂ€rten Fragen aus dem NSU-Skandal wiederholen sich auf erschreckende Weise nun im Amri-Komplex.

Everyone in #Gaza is hungry. 576,600 people are facing catastrophic hunger and starvation in Gaza.

@WFP is on the front lines, working to provide essential food assistance but the situation is beyond dire. We urgently need unimpeded access and, above all, a ceasefire

War on Gaza: ‚There is nothing left. They destroyed everything‘

(21.01.2024)

Many will say this is the second Palestinian Nakba, and it is for the majority of Palestinians in Gaza who were driven from their homes and lands in 1948.

But for my family, and for nearly 30 percent of Gaza’s population, this is our first experience of Nakba. This is the first time our connection to the city that has held our lives, our stories, and our history, for thousands of years, has been disrupted.

The house my aunty was driven out of belongs to my great-grandfather and was first built during the Ottoman empire, more than 100 years ago. Our neighbourhood, Tuffah, and its adjacent Mohatta Street, where the old railway station used to be, are much older than Israel and all its wars.

Carnage in Gaza: ‘How much is enough?’ asks UN Assembly President

(19.01.2024)

Addressing the 19th Non-Aligned Summit in the Ugandan capital, Kampala, President Dennis Francis urged the bloc of 120 nations to exert its influence to bring an end to the “carnage” in the war-ravaged enclave.

“That situation behooves us to ask: how much is enough? And does the very concept of enough even exist in this setting?” he said. “I renew the demand for an immediate humanitarian ceasefire and for the release of all hostages. This stands as the only credible course of action to authentically address – let alone resolve – this conflict.”

Exclusive: Iraq seeks quick exit of US forces but no deadline set, PM says

(10.01.2024)

„There is a need to reorganise this relationship so that it is not a target or justification for any party, internal or foreign, to tamper with stability in Iraq and the region,“ Sudani told Reuters in an interview in Baghdad on Tuesday.
Giving the first details of his thinking about the future of the coalition since his Jan. 5 announcement that Iraq would begin the process of closing it down, Sudani said the exit should be negotiated under „a process of understanding and dialogue“.

Military ends rescue search for Navy SEALs lost in maritime raid on ship with Iranian weapons

According to officials, the Jan. 11 raid targeted an unflagged ship carrying illicit Iranian-made weapons to the Houthi rebels in Yemen. Officials have said that as the team was boarding the ship, one of the SEALs went under in the heavy seas, and a teammate went in to try and save him.

(…)

The U.S. Navy ultimately sunk the ship carrying the weapons after deeming it unsafe, Central Command said. The ship’s 14 crew were detained.
