Israel’s Finance Minister Calls for "Total Annihilation" of Rafah, Other Cities in Gaza
Israeli Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich on Monday (April 29) called for the “total annihilation” of Rafah and other cities in the Gaza Strip.
“There are no half measures. Rafah, Deir al-Balah, Nuseirat—total annihilation. ‘You will blot out the remembrance of Amalek from under heaven’—there’s no place under heaven,” Smotrich said.
Smotrich’s reference to “Amalek” was from a line in Deuteronomy, a book in the Hebrew Bible. Amalek is a nation the ancient Israelites were commanded to destroy, and in the book of Samuel, the Israelites were told to “slay both man and woman, infant and suckling.”
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has previously compared Gaza to Amalek, which has been cited as evidence of genocidal rhetoric in South Africa’s genocide case against Israel at the International Court of Justice.
“You must remember what Amalek has done to you, says our Holy Bible. And we do remember, and we are fighting,” Netanyahu said in October.
The “annihilation” of Rafah would mean the death of over 1 million civilians who are sheltering there. Netanyahu vowed on Tuesday (April 30) that Israel will invade the city “with or without” a hostage deal with Hamas.

US Congress Threatens ICC Over Israeli Arrest Warrants
The International Criminal Court is being warned by members of Congress in both parties that arrest warrants for senior Israeli officials will be met with U.S. retaliation—and legislation to that effect is already in the works, Axios has learned.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has gone so far as to urge President Biden to intervene to help prevent the warrants, Axios' Barak Ravid reported. The ICC has been investigating allegations of war crimes against both the Israeli military and Palestinian militia groups dating back to 2014.
The White House declined to comment on Netanyahu's call with Biden but said "the ICC has no jurisdiction in this situation and we do not support its investigation."
House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) issued a statement on Monday (April 29) calling the reported warrants "disgraceful" and "lawless."
"If unchallenged by the Biden administration, the ICC could create and assume unprecedented power to issue arrest warrants against American political leaders, American diplomats, and American military personnel," Johnson said.
Johnson called for the Biden administration to "immediately and unequivocally demand that the ICC stand down" and "use every available tool to prevent such an abomination."

NATO Troops in Ukraine + Kiev Running out of Forces for The West to Train w/ Mark Sleboda
The situation on the battlefield is becoming increasingly dire for Kiev, as Russian troops advance, while in some cases, Ukrainian forces flee. It has gotten so bad that even the Washington Post is admitting that Ukraine is running out of men for the U.S. to train in programs set up to aid Kiev as part of Washington's proxy war against Moscow.
International Relations and Security Analyst Mark Sleboda (@TheRealPolitick) noted that while Zelensky comes up with plans to force Ukrainian men back home to fight, the pressure is on for NATO troops to fill the void left by the nearly 500,000 Ukrainians troops who have been killed since 2022… and reports are already warning that there are NATO soldiers on the ground, proudly wearing the insignia of their home country.

Ukraine Attacks Crimea With US-Provided Army Tactical Missile Systems
Russian officials said Tuesday (April 30) that Ukraine targeted Crimea with US-provided Army Tactical Missile Systems (ATACMS), long-range missiles that the US secretly provided to Ukraine in March.
The ATACMS the US shipped to Ukraine have a range of about 190 miles, significantly longer than anything the US has previously provided. The US sent an older version of the ATACMS last fall that can hit targets up to 100 miles away and is packed with cluster bombs, which are notorious for killing and maiming civilians.
The governor of Crimea said that the ATACMS were shot down by Russian air defenses in the attack on Tuesday. The Russian Defense Ministry said that it shot down a total of six ATACMS but did not specify where.
US-supported attacks on Crimea always risk a major escalation as the peninsula is considered a red line for Russian President Vladimir Putin, something acknowledged by US Secretary of State Antony Blinken earlier in the war.

PFAS Increase Likelihood of Death by Cardiovascular Disease, Study Shows
For the first time, researchers have formally shown that exposure to toxic PFAS increases the likelihood of death by cardiovascular disease, adding a new level of concern to the controversial chemicals’ wide use.
The findings are especially significant because proving an association with death by chemical exposure is difficult, but researchers were able to establish it by reviewing death records from northern Italy’s Veneto region, where many residents for decades drank water highly contaminated with PFAS, also called “forever chemicals”.
Records further showed an increased likelihood of death from several cancers, but stopped short of establishing a formal association because of other factors.
“This is the first time that anyone has found strong evidence of an association of PFAS exposure and cardiovascular mortality,” said Annibale Biggeri, the peer-reviewed study’s lead author, and a researcher with the University of Padua.

Peter Daszak Testifying Today: The Man Behind EcoHealth Alliance
🇺🇸🇬🇧@COVID19Up: British epidemiologist Peter Daszak, president of EcoHealth Alliance, will appear before a House panel Wednesday (May 1) morning to testify regarding his role in determining the origins of COVID-19.
Watch LIVE at 10am EST: 👇
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gj9M5CJGykk
The public hearing is the latest development in the multiyear investigation into Daszak and his organization, EcoHealth Alliance, for their work on bat coronaviruses in Wuhan, China, that receive funding from the National Institutes of Health.
EcoHealth Alliance has strong ties to the Wuhan Institute of Virology, located in the same city where the first human cases of SARS-CoV-2 were reported in December 2019. The WIV quickly became the epicenter of the lab-leak theory of the origin of the virus.
Daszak appeared before the House Oversight and Energy and Commerce committees in a closed-door transcribed interview session in November 2023, but Republicans said documents obtained by the committees following the event conflicted with Daszak’s interview, raising concerns about the veracity of his testimony.
“These revelations undermine your credibility as well as every factual assertion you made during your transcribed interview,” wrote the committee chairs in a letter to Daszak announcing the hearing. “The Committees have a right and an obligation to protect the integrity of their investigations, including the accuracy of testimony during a transcribed interview.”

Rep. Brad Wenstrup Grills Peter Daszak in Heated Exchange
Daszak confirms that in 2018 he submitted an application for a project named Diffuse. Ralph Baric from the University of NC and Shi Zhengli from the Wuhan Institute of Virology were collaborators.
Daszak admitted a strategy of downplaying the role of non-U.S. collaborators in the proposal to avoid negative perceptions by DARPA reviewers.
Wenstrup highlighted concerns regarding the biosafety protocols that were to be used for the research involving recombinant SARS coronaviruses. The issue here was that the work might be conducted under a lower biosafety level (BSL-2) in China, raising concerns that Daszak valued saving money over biosafety.

Trump Rips Israel’s Netanyahu Over Oct. 7 Hamas Attack: ‘Should Have Never Happened’
Former President Donald Trump has slammed Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, saying the Oct. 7 Hamas terror attack in which around 1,200 people were butchered “should have never happened.”
In a wide-ranging interview with Time magazine published Tuesday, the 45th president said he believed the assault on southern Israel has had “a profound impact” on Netanyahu, 74.
“They have the most sophisticated equipment,” said Trump, 77, of Israeli security forces. “They had — everything was there to stop that. And a lot of people knew about it, you know, thousands and thousands of people knew about it, but Israel didn’t know about it, and I think he’s being blamed for that very strongly, being blamed.”
“I will say this,” he added. “Bibi Netanyahu rightfully has been criticized for what took place on October 7.”

Pentagon Chief Engaged in Pressuring EU Countries to Give Up Their Patriot Systems
America's top defense official is engaged in efforts to pressure European countries to give up their own US-made anti-air defenses for Ukraine.
US Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin said Tuesday (April 30) he's been actively encouraging countries to donate their Patriot missile systems to Ukraine. "There are countries that have Patriots, and so what we’re doing is continuing to engage those countries," Austin testified before a House Armed Services Committee hearing.
"I have talked to the leaders of several countries... myself here in the last two weeks, encouraging them to give up more capability or provide more capability," he said.
Earlier this month a disturbing report by Financial Times identified Greece and Spain as being under the most pressure from Western allies to give up what few Patriot anti-air defense systems that they possess. But Germany, the Netherlands, Poland and Sweden also possess them—with Berlin recently giving one battery up to Ukraine.
An EU diplomat was cited in the FT report as explaining, "There are countries that are not in immediate need of their air defense systems, to be very honest." This as "Each country is being asked to decide what it can spare," according to the statement.

🚨BREAKING: Colombia to Cut Diplomatic Ties with Israel Over Gaza War, Petro Say
Colombian President Gustavo Petro, a staunch critic of Israel’s war in Gaza, says the Israeli government is ‘genocidal’.
...Speaking to a crowd marking International Workers’ Day in Bogota on Wednesday, Petro said countries cannot be passive in the face of the crisis unfolding in Gaza.
“Here in front of you, the government of change, of the president of the republic, announces that tomorrow we will break diplomatic relations with the state of Israel … for having a government, for having a president who is genocidal,” Petro said.
A left-wing leader who came to power in 2022, Petro is considered part of a progressive wave known as the “pink tide” in Latin America. He has been one of the region’s most vocal critics of Israel since the start of the Gaza war.

ICC Prosecutors Interview Gaza Hospital Staff Over Israeli War Crimes
Gaza’s two largest hospitals, Al-Shifa and Al-Nasser, have witnessed brutal Israeli attacks throughout the war
International Criminal Court (ICC) prosecutors have held meetings with the staff of Gaza’s two largest hospitals, Al-Shifa Hospital in the north of the strip and Al-Nasser Hospital in the southern city of Khan Yunis.
Two unnamed sources told Reuters on 29 April that ICC prosecutors have listened to the testimonies of several staff members of the two hospitals – both of which have been stormed by the Israeli army since the start of the war in October.
One source said that the Israeli army’s operations in and around both hospitals could become part of an ICC investigation. The sources refused to provide further details, and the ICC prosecutor’s office declined to comment on the operational aspect of the probe, citing concerns over the safety of witnesses and victims.
The ICC has said it is investigating both sides of the conflict.
In November, Al-Shifa Hospital was invaded by the Israeli army, who evacuated its staff at gunpoint and turned the facility into a detention center. The hospital was attacked again on 18 March, and hundreds were killed in a subsequent two-week Israeli operation inside and around the medical center.
Khan Yunis‘ Al-Nasser hospital was also stormed by Israeli troops in February. Several people were killed, including patients.
Palestinian rescue workers demanded urgent probes and international intervention following this month’s discovery of hundreds of bodies – many unidentifiable – buried in mass graves near the two hospitals.
Some of the bodies found showed signs of torture and execution. Other bodies had missing organs. Among the corpses found at the mass graves were those of children and elderly persons.
The investigations come after reports earlier this month saying the ICC was looking to issue arrest warrants against top Israeli officials – including Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Yoav Gallant.

Two unnamed sources told Reuters on 29 April that ICC prosecutors have listened to the testimonies of several staff members of the two hospitals – both of which have been stormed by the Israeli army since the start of the war in October.
One source said that the Israeli army’s operations in and around both hospitals could become part of an ICC investigation. The sources refused to provide further details, and the ICC prosecutor’s office declined to comment on the operational aspect of the probe, citing concerns over the safety of witnesses and victims.
The ICC has said it is investigating both sides of the conflict.
In November, Al-Shifa Hospital was invaded by the Israeli army, who evacuated its staff at gunpoint and turned the facility into a detention center. The hospital was attacked again on 18 March, and hundreds were killed in a subsequent two-week Israeli operation inside and around the medical center.
Khan Yunis‘ Al-Nasser hospital was also stormed by Israeli troops in February. Several people were killed, including patients.
Palestinian rescue workers demanded urgent probes and international intervention following this month’s discovery of hundreds of bodies – many unidentifiable – buried in mass graves near the two hospitals.
Some of the bodies found showed signs of torture and execution. Other bodies had missing organs. Among the corpses found at the mass graves were those of children and elderly persons.
The investigations come after reports earlier this month saying the ICC was looking to issue arrest warrants against top Israeli officials – including Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Yoav Gallant.

Analysing the likely reasons for the surge, we find it does send a key message. It is likely only the beginning of the re-emergence of gold as key asset.
The price of gold has taken off since about February this year, reaching an all-time high of $ 2.448.8 per ounce on 12 April 2024. This is a 34% rise compared to the lowest price in the past 12 months, which was $ 1,823. This recent surge follows several years of relative calm, when the gold price remained largely range-bound between the beginning of 2020 and late 2023, in a band from ca. $1,700 to ca. $1,950.
What are we to make of the sudden surge in the gold price? Is this a warning signal of looming major events? The short answer is yes.
