Erdogan is under pressure to stop the flow of oil to Israel.I hope he stops the flow of oil. That would really put a foot on Bibi’s neck.

And likewise, despite the ultimatum sent to Israel by Biden, here is a frame of the video of one of the bombs being dropped on Gaza.The US State Department has announced that it will not withhold arms shipments to Israel despite the Jewish state failing to meet a set of conditions Washington said were mandatory for these shipments to continue.
In a briefing on Tuesday, State Department spokesman Vedant Patel told reporters that Israel had taken some, but not all, of the steps set out in a letter from Secretary of State Antony Blinken and Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin to Israel’s defense and strategic affairs ministers last month.
The war in Gaza has been conducted almost entirely with American weapons and $18 billion in U.S. taxpayer dollars.
The letter warned Israel that unless steps were taken to improve the humanitarian situation in Gaza within 30 days, the US would stop supplying the country with weapons, as US law forbids the transfer of arms to countries that prevent aid from reaching civilians.

It is clear that the UN could no longer hide the obvious, and have accepted that Israel commits genocide but will not take any action. To the list of inoperatives, one could also say the same of Human Rights Watch (HRW) who in a new report concluded that :UN special committee likens Israeli policy in Gaza to genocide
“The Israeli government cannot claim to be keeping Palestinians safe when it kills them along escape routes, bombs so-called safe zones, and cuts off food, water, and sanitation. Israel has blatantly violated its obligation to ensure Palestinians can return home, razing virtually everything in large areas,” according to HRW migrant rights researcher Nadia Hardman.
HRW called for immediate international action against Israel, including sanctions, travel bans, asset freezes, and suspensions of arms sales and military assistance.

The Israeli military’s campaign to significantly expand a “buffer zone” along the eastern perimeter of the occupied Gaza Strip should be investigated as the war crimes of wanton destruction and of collective punishment, Amnesty International said in a new investigation. (...)
“The Israeli military’s relentless campaign of ruin in Gaza is one of wanton destruction. Our research has shown how Israeli forces have obliterated residential buildings, forced thousands of families from their homes and rendered their land uninhabitable,” said Erika Guevara-Rosas, Amnesty International’s Senior Director for Research, Advocacy, Policy and Campaigns.
“The creation of any ‘buffer zone’ must not amount to the collective punishment of the Palestinian civilians who lived in these neighbourhoods. Israel’s measures to protect Israelis from attacks from Gaza must be carried out in conformity with its obligations under international law, including the prohibition of wanton destruction and of collective punishment.”

Unwavering in the WRONG direction. Sadly the default of a psychopath is always to lie. I have a sneaking suspicion that Bibi has outlived his 'usefulness' to the Israeli regime. His fellow psychopaths are about to sacrifice him and throw him under a bus, or maybe on top of a bomb. It will naturally be blamed on the Iranians.Israel rejected the court’s ruling, and the prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, claimed that his country’s commitment to international law was “unwavering”.
Isn't it a bit late to say something mate? Lounging around in that silly white outfit..And now the Pope joins in.

Pope Francis has called for an investigation to determine if Israel’s attacks in Gaza constitute genocide, according to excerpts released from an upcoming new book ahead of the pontiff’s jubilee year.
It is the first time that Francis has openly urged for an investigation of genocide
From what I've read Bergoglio is not the true pope, Ratzinger is still the pope. Evidently in his "resignation" letter Ratzinger used some slight of hand in his wording, which when really studied, means his hands were tied or in other words, he was forced out.

Report: Trump Team Already Preparing Steps to Challenge ICC
President-elect Donald Trump's team is moving against the International Criminal Court (ICC) after it initiated arrest warrants against Israel PM Benjamin Netanyahu and former Defense Minister Yoav Gallant.www.breitbart.com
The draft resolution was prepared by the ten non-permanent members of the Security Council and consists of nine paragraphs, containing “the demand for an immediate, unconditional and permanent ceasefire respected by all parties”, the release of all hostages held in the enclave, respect for international law and access to humanitarian aid for the civilian population of Gaza.The US claims it vetoed the resolution because it was not linked to an unconditional release of Israelis taken captive by the Palestinian resistance in Gaza on 7 October, 2023. Instead, the ongoing meeting is based off of Resolution 2735 drafted in June 2024 which also calls for "the exchange of Palestinian prisoners, withdrawal of Israeli forces from the populated areas in Gaza, the return of Palestinian civilians to their homes, and the safe and effective distribution of humanitarian assistance at scale throughout Gaza."

“No outrageous anti-Israel decision will prevent us –- and it will not prevent me –- from continuing to defend our country in every way,” Netanyahu said in a video statement. “We will not yield to pressure,” he vowed.
Earlier, Netanyahu compared the ICC’s decision to “a modern-day Dreyfus trial”, referring to an infamous 19th century case in which French Jewish army captain Alfred Dreyfus was unfairly convicted of treason.
He said Israel “rejects with disgust the absurd and false actions and accusations made against it”.
The judges were “driven by anti-Semitic hatred of Israel”, he said.
Netanyahu alleged that the warrants were an attempt by ICC Chief Prosecutor Karim Khan “to save himself from serious accusations of sexual harassment”. Khan has denied the allegations.

“This is a dark day for justice. A dark day for humanity. The ICC's outrageous and bad faith decision has made universal justice a laughing stock around the world. It makes a mockery of the sacrifices of all those fighting for justice, from the Allied victory over the Nazis to the present day.”
Hungary opposes the court's decision and considers it wrong; The Hungarian side is ready to invite Netanyahu to Budapest for talks, guaranteeing him security and immunity.“Hamas calls on the court in The Hague to expand the scope of investigations and prosecution of the criminal leaders of the [Israeli] occupation who are guilty of terrorism against the Palestinian people and the spread of hunger” in the Gaza Strip, according to a published document.
In this regard, the group believes that the ICC verdict is “an important historical precedent and a correction of the injustice against the Palestinian people.” The radicals called on all countries to cooperate with the Hague court to “expose the crimes” of the Israeli authorities.
They say that the peace-loving Americans have exhausted their means to pressure Israel and that the latter will soon attack.
It is not even worth considering the version of the American 'pacifists', but Israel's plans to attack Iraq are quite real. For the ultra-Orthodox in charge, war is the only way to maintain power, which is what they are doing.
First it was the Gaza Strip, then they focused on Lebanon with Hezbollah, after which they stepped up attacks against Syrian territory, and then comes Iraq, where there is more than one pro-Iranian faction, i.e. they have a pretext.
And they will surely take advantage of it, as it is the only option left to them. And in the short term it is possible that the Syrian scenario will be repeated, especially since the Israeli aviation has traced a route through Jordan.
The Iraqi authorities expressed their “categorical” rejection of the letter that Israel announced on Monday to the United Nations to pressure Iraq to cease attacks carried out by groups loyal to Iran, considering it “an attempt to justify aggression”.
