Mr. Scholz vowed to keep governing until the end of the year and then to demand a confidence vote in Parliament in January, a test he may fail. That would open the way for early elections, a rarity in Germany since World War II, possibly in March.

Ende der Ampelkoalition: „Über Nacht in den Wahlkampfmodus“
…Als Politikwissenschaftlerin kann man natürlich nicht geheim halten, dass das alles hochinteressant und spannend ist und man sich darüber freut, das beobachten zu können. Als Bürgerin des Landes gebe ich aber auch offen zu, dass das bewegende Zeiten sind und weitreichende Zeiten, und insofern ist es ein gemischtes Gefühl, mit dem man auf das schaut und sich schon fragt, wenn wir in den USA gestern früh anfangen und hier in Deutschland, in Berlin gestern Abend enden, was so an einem einzigen Tag alles an Bewegungen stattfinden kann und uns jetzt über Monate, womöglich Jahre beschäftigen wird. …

(Today, 5:32 pm)
“The field commander in charge of the Naqura region has been martyred in an Israeli strike,” the source tells AFP, with the official National News Agency reporting one dead in an Israeli strike on a car in Ain Baal, about 15 kilometers (nine miles) from the border.
Of course Netanyahu should go – in an orderly process that gives our enemies cause for fear
(today)
And therefore, as was the case when he insisted on continuing to run the country while in the midst of a corruption trial, and as was the case when he pressed on with his assault on Israeli democracy and briefly fired that defense minister, so too, now, it falls to a potential few good men and women within his own coalition base to tell him that his presence is harming Israel, that his policies empowered and emboldened Hamas, and that far from being uniquely capable of ensuring Israel has the practical and diplomatic room to destroy Hamas, he is almost uniquely incapable of doing so.
Trump tells Israel to ‚finish up‘ Gaza offensive because nation is ‚losing a lot of support‘
(26.03.2024)
Trump, the presumptive Republican nominee for president in 2024, sat down for an interview with Israeli newspaper Israel Hayom about the ongoing military invasion — and warned that the world was growing tired of the conflict.
„You have to finish up your war. You have to finish it up. You’ve got to get it done,“ he told the newspaper.
He continued, „We’ve got to get to peace. You can’t have this going on, and I will say Israel has to be very careful because you are losing a lot of the world. You are losing a lot of support.“
Video released of first interrogation of suspected terrorist
The man also said that the curators, whom he supposedly does not know personally, had contacted him via Telegram messaging app, and arranged an arms cache for the assailants.
According to the suspect, he had been “listening to sermons… by a preacher” on Telegram for some time before being approached by the supposed masterminds of Friday’s attack “around a month ago.”
Simonjan veröffentlicht Videos der Terrorverdächtigen: Sie töteten für 500.000 Rubel
Aus dem aufgezeichneten Verhör geht hervor, dass alle vier Verdächtigen am 4. März aus der Türkei nach Russland eingereist sind. Einer von ihnen spricht gebrochenes Russisch, kann sich aber ohne Dolmetscher verständigen. Bei einem anderen wurde eine Dolmetscherin, offenbar für Tadschikisch, hinzugezogen. Die massenhafte Tötung von Menschen in der „Crocus City Hall“ am Freitagabend haben die Männer ohne Umschweife gestanden.
Einer der Vernommenen gab auf die Frage, warum er die Konzertbesucher ermordet hat, an, die Tat für Geld verübt zu haben. Als Summe nennt er 500.000 Rubel (etwa 5.000 Euro).
Wikileaks founder Assange should not be extradited to the US, Germany’s Scholz says
In light of recent developments, the German chancellor (SPD/S&D) spoke out in support of Assange at a Q&A session at a school in Baden-Württemberg.
“I believe it would be good if the British courts would grant him the necessary protection, because he is facing prosecution in the United States, as he has leaked American state secrets,” Scholz said in Sindelfingen.

Saudi Arabia still interested in Israel normalisation after war on Gaza ends
Prince Khalid bin Bandar, the Saudi ambassador in London, told the BBC on Tuesday that a normalisation deal was „close“ but the kingdom paused US-brokered talks after the attack on Israel on 7 October by Hamas-led fighters.
„For us, the final end point definitely included nothing less than an independent state of Palestine,“ he said.
War on Gaza: Turkey backs South Africa ‚genocide‘ case against Israel at ICJ
(03.01.2024)
Turkish foreign ministry spokesperson Oncu Keceli said in a statement that Ankara welcomes the South African case, which says Israel has violated its obligations under the 1948 Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide.
“Israel‘s murder of more than 22,000 Palestinian civilians, the majority of whom were women and children, in Gaza for nearly three months should not go unpunished in any way,“ Keceli said.
Malaysia backs South Africa’s case at ICJ against Israel’s ‘genocidal’ acts in Gaza
(02.01.2024)
Malaysia’s foreign ministry said the petition also included a request for the ICJ to indicate provisional or short-term measures ordering Israel to stop its military campaign in the besieged territory, and to ensure Israel’s compliance with its obligations under the Genocide Convention.
“The legal action against Israel before the ICJ is a timely and tangible step towards legal accountability for Israel’s atrocities in Gaza and the Occupied Palestinian Territory at large,” the ministry said in a statement on Tuesday.

100+ Global Rights Groups Urge Support for South Africa‘s Genocide Case Against Israel at ICJ
The letter was released days after South Africa filed its claim, asking the ICJ to declare that Israel has breached its obligations under the Genocide Convention, to which it is a party.
The death toll in Gaza has reached at least 22,313, with at least 57,296 people wounded and thousands feared dead under rubble.
South Africa Is Right to Invoke the Genocide Convention Against Israel’s War on Gaza
By the 1920s, Lemkin was formulating the concepts and laws that were articulated in his best-known book, Axis Rule in Occupied Europe (1944). His unpublished manuscripts reveal that he saw colonialism as an integral part of a world history of genocide.
Those manuscripts covered an extremely wide range of cases where European colonial powers were responsible for mass killing, from the Spanish conquest of the Americas in the sixteenth century and the slaughter of indigenous peoples in Australia and New Zealand to the German massacre of the Hereros in Namibia a few decades earlier.
As Israel awaits 6th set of hostages, Netanyahu vows war will resume after truce
(Today, 4:47 pm)
“In recent days I’ve heard a question: Will Israel return to fighting after this stage of returning our hostages is over? My response is an unequivocal yes,” the premier says. “There is no way we won’t return to fighting until the end.”
U.S. Has Warned Israel to Fight More Surgically in Gaza, Officials Say
(Nov. 28, 2023)
The statements are the Biden administration’s strongest warning to Israeli officials to date about the next phase of their military operation. For weeks, the White House has been careful to say it does not dictate how Israel conducts its military operations, but President Biden and senior members of his staff have grown more vocal as the humanitarian crisis has unfolded.
They also come as the administration officials, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss sensitive diplomatic issues, said they were ramping up humanitarian aid during the cease-fire that took effect last week, and expressed optimism that aid could continue even when fighting resumed.
Pentagon confirms that US conducting drone flights over Gaza to locate hostages

U.S. Knew About Migrant Killings by Saudi Forces Earlier Than Previously Disclosed
(Sept. 1, 2023)
The State Department said U.S. diplomats in Saudi Arabia had first heard reports of a dramatic increase in lethal violence against migrants and asylum seekers by that nation’s border forces in the summer of last year and had immediately asked officials at “high levels” of the Saudi government to investigate.
The department made the disclosure in a statement on Thursday night to The New York Times in response to questions posed early this week about the U.S. government’s knowledge of the reported violence and its working relationship with Saudi Arabia’s border forces.

US sending F-16 fighter jets to protect ships from Iranian seizures in Gulf region
(July 14, 2023)
Speaking to Pentagon reporters, the official said the U.S. will send F-16 fighter jets to the Gulf region this weekend to augment the A-10 attack aircraft that have been patrolling there for more than a week. The move comes after Iran tried to seize two oil tankers near the strait last week, opening fire on one of them.
Prigozhin announces in a recorded message, „The moment has come when blood can be shed. We understand all the responsibility that Russian blood can be shed on one of the sides, we turn the columns and go in the opposite direction to the field camps according to the plan.“ #Wagner
BREAKING NEWS/REUTERS Wagner Group agrees to de-escalate, return to bases: Wagner Chief Yevegeny Prigozhin accepted Belarusian president Lukashenka‘s proposal to stop the Wagner movement in Russia and take further steps to de-escalate tensions, and to avoid any bloodshed.
And just like that… Prigozhin has announced Wagner is pulling back to their base camps. Not sure if that means Rostov, Russia or back across the Ukraine border, but it‘s a huge reversal.
After months of dogged public protest, it‘s tempting to view the election of Yesh Atid lawmaker Karine Elharrar to the Judicial Appointments Committee as a victory.

Die Vor-Bild-flutliche Demokratie
(24.02.2014)
19. Februar, Sitzung des Innenausschusses. Anhörung von Jörg Ziercke. Die Herren Abgeordneten – ich will diese honorigen Herrschaften jetzt lieber nicht namentlich erwähnen, sie müssten mittlerweile irgendwo in Grund und Boden versunken sein – kommen also aus dem Walhalla des Parlamentarismus heraus, pflanzen sich vor die Kameras und machen in Opposition. Reden tun sie dabei wie immer. Sagen tun sie nichts. Keine Information. Man habe auf Granit gebissen. Da könne man eben nichts machen. Aber man werde dranbleiben. Ganz bestimmt.
Enter Jörg Ziercke. Elvis has left the building, Ladies and Gentlemen. Und jetzt noch, vor lauter Güte, eine kleine Nachaufführung vor den KollegInnen der Presseschauspieler.
Nach dem Statement des seit 2004 amtierenden B.K.A.-Präsidenten warte ich ab. Vielleicht macht ja irgendjemand irgendwas. Vielleicht hat ja jemand zugehört. Jemand muss es doch gemerkt haben. Es kann hier doch nicht jeder entweder zu dumm oder gekauft sein.
Aber nein. Wieder nichts. Diesmal warte ich nicht bis zum nächsten Tag. (19.02.2014, Ziercke: Bundeskriminalamt saß zwei Jahre auf Edathys Namen)

Das war´s dann aber auch schon.
