EU leaders have repeatedly asked Xi to condemn Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, tell Putin to stop, defend international law.

They’ll ask again, won’t they?

A new Human Rights Watch report reveals Israel has attacked known humanitarian aid groups in Gaza at least eight times since October 7. While aid workers do die in conflict zones, Belkis Wille says 'what’s really unique in the context of Gaza is the high number in such a short period of time.'

Lifting Schengen ban against Ghassan Abu Sitta is great news, congrats to ICJP, European Legal Support Center (ELSC) & all involved: icjpalestine.com/2024/05/14/tra…

Still, chilling that one was imposed in the first place.

EU governments should stop the crimes in #Gaza , not those denouncing them.

#Gaza : while starving civilians, #Israel 's forces have killed more than 250 aid workers since October 7.

In at least 8 'incidents', aid groups provided their coordinates to 🇮🇱 authorities to ensure protection. They were killed instead.

Viva le mamme che resistono, lottano, combattono. Viva le mamme che proteggono le loro figlie e i loro figli durante le guerre. Viva le mamme che cercano la verità, quelle che continuano a dirla. Viva le mamme solidali con le altre.

Well, that totally worked, didn’t it Außenministerin Annalena Baerbock GermanForeignOffice Bundeskanzler Olaf Scholz?

But please: no sanctions, no arms embargo, and don’t even mention the ICC. As civilians are slaughtered and starved to death, a few tweets will do.

#Rafah

Palestinian doctor who witnessed atrocities in #Gaza ? Not welcome to the EU: hrw.org/news/2024/05/1…

Israeli minister quoted in ICJ #genocide case for inciting hatred, violence against Palestinians? Please come tell us how to fight racism: euobserver.com/eu-and-the-wor…

L’ #Egitto è tortura (lo sappiamo troppo bene), repressione, ritorsioni, stato di paura

Ancora una volta, il governo #Meloni dimostra che la sua unica priorità è “mandarli via”, fottendosene altamente della sorte cui vanno incontro

Here are recent extreme dehumanising statements by minister Israel Katz that were cited by South African lawyers as examples of genocidal intent at the International Court of Justice.👇

How can EU Commission hold a high-level seminar on ***combating hatred*** with this man?

What if #Israel ’s authorities ignore this call, Bundeskanzler Olaf Scholz Außenministerin Annalena Baerbock GermanForeignOffice?

Is #Germany ready to propose sanctions + arms embargo + support #ICC ? Or will you just pay lip service to yet another slaughter of civilians?

'I fully condemn any kind of intimidation to the ICC. Enough is enough. (...) When the ICC indicted President Putin, we applauded. So, either we respect the ICC or not. And [if] we respect the ICC, it has to be in any case, on any occasion, with respect to anyone.'

Borrell:
- Colonna report clear: cutting funding to #UNRWA has no basis
- #Rafah offensive going on despite everybody asking Netanyahu not to. Nowhere is safe in #Gaza
- #ICC 'will have to say something', and any threat/attack against it is unacceptable 👇🏽

Forcing 1 million+ displaced Palestinians in Rafah to again flee without a safe place to go is unlawful & catastrophic. There is nowhere safe to go in Gaza.
