Imminent truce must be used to strengthen int’l, human rights, media presence in Gaza
Ahead of the first temporary humanitarian truce agreement in the Gaza Strip going into effect, Euro-Med Human Rights Monitor called for the formation of international human rights committees that would visit the Strip and document the magnitude of Israel’s crimes against Palestinian civilians.
EMHRM emphasised that any United Nations fact-finding committees sent to investigate the situation in Gaza should gather victim #testimonies in person and ascertain the rapidly worsening humanitarian situation with their own eyes
The Office of the Prosecutor of the International Criminal Court should be tasked with taking the lead in this regard, said the rights organisation. It should be expected to dispatch representatives to conduct field visits in the Gaza Strip, in order to speak with #victims and witnesses and oversee #investigations at the scene of the #crimes

🇵🇸 Gaza, from catastrophe to genocide: MEMO in Conversation with Professor Penny Green
Israel has entered its annihilation phase in Gaza and transitioning from slow-motion to high speed genocide of the Palestinian population in the besieged enclave, argues law Professor Penny Green. Tel Aviv's destruction of historic Palestine and the Palestinian people has been state policy since 1948 and the siege on Gaza was part of this long term strategy. The latest war might be about to change that. MEMO speaks to Professor Green who explains what factors demonstrate an active genocide, why Gaza has reached this catastrophic stage and how civil society can respond. She addresses head-on the accusations that the use of the term genocide is exaggerating the situation.
Green was one of over 50 leading scholars in #criminology and state violence who signed a hard-hitting condemnation of Israel.

🇵🇸 Report / Israel: Starvation Used as Weapon of War in Gaza | HRW–
International humanitarian law, or the laws of war, prohibits the starvation of civilians as a method of warfare. The Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court provides that intentionally starving civilians by “depriving them of objects indispensable to their survival, including willfully impeding relief supplies” is a war crime. Criminal intent does not require the attacker’s admission but can also be inferred from the totality of the circumstances of the military campaign.
In addition, Israel’s continuing blockade of Gaza, as well as its more than 16-year closure, amounts to collective punishment of the civilian population, a war crime. As the occupying power in Gaza under the Fourth Geneva Convention, Israel has the duty to ensure that the civilian population gets food and medical supplies.

🇵🇸 Surveillance and interference: Israel’s covert war on the ICC exposed | +972mag
Top Israeli government and security officials have overseen a nine-year surveillance operation targeting the ICC and Palestinian rights groups to try to thwart a war crimes probe, a joint investigation reveals.
The multi-agency operation, which dates back to 2015, has seen Israel’s intelligence community routinely surveil the court’s current chief prosecutor Karim Khan, his predecessor Fatou Bensouda, and dozens of other ICC and UN officials. Israeli intelligence also monitored materials that the Palestinian Authority submitted to the prosecutor’s office, and surveilled employees at four Palestinian human rights organizations whose submissions are central to the probe.
According to sources, the covert operation mobilized the highest branches of Israel’s government, the intelligence community, and both the civilian and military legal systems in order to derail the probe.

🇵🇸 War Drums in Washington: Netanyahu’s True Ambitions Laid Bare
Israel is participating at the Olympics in Paris while Russia is banned, despite killing at least 80% fewer civilians in Ukraine than Israel has killed in #Gaza.
No more explicit was this hypocrisy demonstrated than on Wednesday, July 24, when Prime Minister Benjamin #Netanyahu, a man with a pending #ICC arrest warrant for crimes against humanity, addressed #USCongress in order to shore up support for his political survival and request more weapons for his “war” against #Hamas.
The main thrust of his speech was thematically organized by the supposed war between civilization (the West) and barbarism (Iran), mobilizing imperialistic language that would have made even Winston Churchill proud. During his 60-minute speech, he received 58 standing ovations from Congress in a bi-partisan spectacle of unquestioning adamantine support for Israel and its congressionally anointed king.

🇵🇸 The World Court has ended the Oslo ruse - Kraig Morkhiber for Mondoweiss
The ICJ’s ruling that international law protects the rights of Palestinians, and they need not negotiate with their oppressors for those rights, dealt a definitive blow to decades of Western efforts to situate Israel outside the reach of the law.
Israel is on trial for genocide in the International Court of Justice (the #ICJ). The Prosecutor of the International Criminal Court (#ICC) has requested arrest warrants for Israel’s leaders for crimes against humanity. Millions of people across the globe, Palestinians, Jews, Muslims, Christians, students, workers, and others, are mobilized to challenge Israeli settler-colonialism, #apartheid, and #genocide. The 76-year-old wall of impunity, built brick-by-brick by the #US, the #UK, and other Western governments, is beginning to crumble.
