Polish Newspaper: Fearing Arrest Netanyahu to Skip 80th Anniversary of Auschwitz Liberation (Jewish Press, 2024-12-20)
🤔
“The right-of-center Polish daily #Rzeczpospolita (circulation of 274,000), on Friday reported … that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will not attend events in #Poland marking the 80th anniversary of the liberation of the Auschwitz camp, for fear of being arrested in accordance with the order issued by the International Criminal Court in The Hague.
“The newspaper quoted Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs Władysław Bartoszewski, who is responsible for coordinating the ceremony on January 27 with the participation of several dozen world leaders, who stated, ‘We are obliged to respect the decisions of the International Criminal Court (#ICC) in The Hague.’”

‘Emilia Perez’ wins big at European Film Awards 2024 (Screen Daily, 2024-12-07)
“The documentary prize was won by No Other Land, about the Israeli demolition of villages in Masafer Yatta in the West Bank. It is the latest in a string of wins for Berlinale premiere ...”
“Two of its co-directors – Israeli journalist Yuval Abraham and Palestinian activist Basel Adra – accepted the reward remotely by video feed. Adra said it was very hard to celebrate the award at a time when ‘the occupation is committing a genocide against my people,’ while Abraham said ethnic cleansing was being carried out against the Palestinian people in Gaza.
“Addressing European governments, Abraham said: ‘It’s not enough to demand a ceasefire. A ceasefire needs to be imposed.’ As they finished their acceptance speech, a shout of ‘Free Palestine’ rang out in the auditorium.”
Vehicle carrying World Central Kitchen colleagues hit by an Israeli airstrike in Gaza (2024-11-30)

Beware: “colleagues”
“We are heartbroken to share that a vehicle carrying World Central Kitchen colleagues was hit by an Israeli airstrike in Gaza.
“At this time, we are working with incomplete information and are urgently seeking more details.
“World Central Kitchen had no knowledge that any individual in the vehicle had alleged ties to the October 7th Hamas attack.
“World Central Kitchen is pausing operations in Gaza at this time…”
Skimmed through the article, despite its title, the issue is not about AOC alone, the fact that
“Representatives Cori Bush of Missouri, Ilhan Omar of Minnesota and Rashida Tlaib of Michigan were the only Democrats to vote no on the resolution”
has more weight, imho.

My pleasure.
FYI, in “Politbarometer”, a popular poll broadcasted monthly in ZDF (the 2nd public tv in #Germany ) , it’s been already obvious that majority (e.g. 69 % in March) find Israeli military activities in Gaza unjustified. cf.,

The resolution reaffirms the approach […] , focusing on opposition to Israel’s crimes as the most important site of antisemitism. This is used to place migrants and refugees, especially Arabs and Muslims, under particular suspicion of antisemitism, along with the sparse elements of the political left that support their rights. It is consistent with this that the parties of the supposed political centre were supported enthusiastically by the fascist AfD (…), a party that has formulated a concrete plan to “remigrate” 2 million migrants from Germany to North Africa and has a higher approval rating than any of the governing parties; it expressed its joy… […] In joining forces with the fascists to support a resolution that calls for stricter immigration and citizenship guidelines based on attitudes towards Israel, all major parliamentary parties have clearly signalled their commitment to mass deportation and increasingly normalized racism.

Israel confirms it is holding Gaza hospital chief Abu Safiya (BBC, 2025-01-03)
https://bbc.com/news/articles/cj30deeggd7o
———
“Israel has confirmed it is holding Gaza hospital director Dr Hussam Abu Safiya after earlier telling a local NGO that it was unaware of his case, sparking concern for his well being.”
“The statement did not offer an explanation for the confusion but repeated that he was suspected of being a ‘terrorist’ and for ‘holding a rank’ in Hamas…”
“On Thursday the IDF told Physicians for Human Rights Israel (PHRI) that it had ‘no indication of the arrest or detention of the individual in question’"
“Meanwhile Amnesty head Agnès Callamard said Israeli authorities must ‘urgently disclose his whereabouts’".
