Sudan has filed a case with the International Court of Justice (ICJ) against the United Arab Emirates, accusing it of complicity in genocide and other crimes against the Masalit community.
The ICJ announced the application on Thursday, stating that Sudan alleges the UAE has supported acts of genocide, murder, rape, and forced displacement carried out by the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) and allied militias since at least 2023.
Al Jazeera has been reporting on the release of 46 Palestinian women and minors by Israeli authorities on Thursday. We spoke with members of the group, some of whom were taken from Gaza months ago.
Conditions in Israeli detention were grim, according to Anas Khishan, one of the freed detainees.
“[Prisoners] suffer from scabies. There’s no hygiene, no nothing. Thank God, we are free,” he told Al Jazeera.
Nidaa Abu Sahloul said her son had lost so much weight that he was unrecognisable to family and friends.
“[My son] Muhammad lost so much weight, I didn’t recognise him. I saw him calling out to me, but I didn’t recognise him,” she said.

He is fucking worse than Schulz.
It's truly sickening to witness such disgusting disregard by one of Europe's largest countries towards international law.
And the same people act like they have the moral high grounds condemning Russia.

Not a single of #Germany’s major parties—across the spectrum—offers a substantial alternative to Germany’s staunch support for Israel as elections approach. German Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock’s words, “[...] we are all Israelis,” seem to be more than just words.
PS. Not my graph and I am not that informed about the current state of politics in Germany.

Israeli forces strapped explosives around the neck of an elderly Palestinian man in Gaza and forced him to act as a human shield before killing him and his wife, an investigation by the Israeli news website HaMakom has revealed.
The Palestinian man, who has not been named but is believed to have been well above the age of 80, was told that if he did not carry out the searches Israeli forces would detonate the explosives and "blow off his head."

Some countries are willing to stand up for at least some of their principles:
Report: The US threatened to cut aid to South Africa unless it withdrew its case of genocide against Israel, & South Africa's foreign minister said, "No chance”.

“Trump’s billionaire mafia tries to bully South Africa to drop its genocide case against Israel”
by Ed Sykes in The Canary @thecanaryuk
“US president Donald Trump and the fascist billionaire mafia around him are trying to hold South Africa to ransom. And it’s pretty obvious that the country’s international legal case against Israel’s genocide in Gaza is the reason”

Israeli Channel 7 in Hebrew: Prime Minister Benjamin #Netanyahu met today (Thursday) at the Capitol building in #Washington with the leaders of the #US #Senate from both parties. Netanyahu's office said in a statement, "The prime minister was received with great warmth, and the meeting was warm and friendly. The Senate leadership expressed its unconditional support for the prime minister and #Israel, and praised Israel's achievements in the war." In the meeting, the prime minister explained Israel's position, saying, "We must prevent #Iran from obtaining nuclear weapons and eliminate #Hamas in #Gaza." His words were met with sympathy and approval from representatives of both parties.
