Law for Palestine:

During a hearing at the High Court in the UK, it has come to light that the British government has suspended legal assessments over whether Israel is breaching International Humanitarian Law (IHL).

The hearing was part of legal proceedings initiated in December by Palestinian human rights organization Al-Haq and UK-based Global Legal Action Network (GLAN) against the UK after repeated written requests to suspend arms sales to Israel due to grave breaches of international law and UK rules.

According to the Campaign Against Arms Trade (CAAT), Trade Government lawyer James Eadie admitted to a “hiatus” in legal assessments of Israel’s compliance with IHL for reasons he “couldn’t go into,” stating that “decisions of some importance have been delayed for some time.”

Court documents reveal that on April 8, a week after the three Israeli airstrikes on the World Central Kitchen (WCK) aid workers, the UK made a new decision to continue arms exports to Israel. This followed an assessment by Foreign Secretary, Lord Cameron.

Law for Palestine:

A joint statement by a group of 25 international civil society organizations called on the US government to block unconditional military aid to Israel.

The statement called on Congress to exercise its oversight authority and withhold any lethal military aid that can contribute to violations of international humanitarian law and international human rights law.

Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman, Nasser Kanaani:

We strongly condemn the arbitrary American measures in dealing with university students



The free people of the world cannot stand what is happening in Gaza, and their voice will not be extinguished

What is happening in American universities reflects the awakening of the international community towards the Palestinian issue and hatred towards the occupation.

The American authorities must make way for marches in support of Palestine

Alekstilal reports on the floating pier:

The commercial planning for the floating port will be undertaken by the American company Fogbow, a consultancy firm comprising former officials from the U.S. Department of Defense and the Central Intelligence Agency, in addition to former officials from the United Nations.

Fogbow's Vice President, Mick Mulroy, specialized in maritime operations at the Special Activities Center of the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency.

According to information about Fogbow, it has operated as a private limited company in England since early June 2010, engaging in management consulting activities apart from financial management.

Three sources who spoke to the British Reuters agency, said that the expected cost of the commercial maritime project is around $200 million for a period of six months, with one source estimating the cost at around $30 million monthly.

Fogbow Logistics Services is currently engaged in securing the financial cost from countries until the plan comes to fruition.

The project will allow for the delivery of approximately 200 containers of aid, equivalent to the cargo of ONE truck, to Gaza daily.

Clearly NOT about delivering aid.
