I join UN experts in calling on Israel to repeal its renewed "Foreign Media Law", which limits media freedom and the right to information of people in Israel on excessive counter-terrorism and security grounds spcommreports.ohchr.org/TMRe…

More than 200 activists from the Global Sumud Flotilla who were seized at sea by Israeli forces and taken to the Greek island of Crete were released earlier today, with photos showing visible injuries including bruising, cuts, and swelling; participants say they were beaten and abused in custody.

The office of the Lebanese President said Israel had committed a "new massacre," and was showing contempt for all international laws and norms," labelling the strikes as "barbaric." #auspol abc.net.au/news/2026-04-08/h…

This vile human being has reaffirmed Israel’s status as the world’s only remaining apartheid state, more brutal than even apartheid South Africa, according to Mandela & Tutu. If world leaders, who all claim to continue to arm Israel in order to maintain influence with it, do not prevent the execution of Palestinian prisoners, we will hold them equally accountable for the murders
VIDEO | Israeli National Security Minister Ben Gvir, outside the Knesset chamber, celebrates the passing of the death penalty law for Palestinian detainees, describing it as historic and saying, “Soon we will count them one by one.”

Stark warning from @FranceskAlbs on Licence to Torture- the international response to the findings would serve as a test of countries' collective legal and moral responsibility #palesti̇ne #InternationalLaw #FrancescaAlbanese

I condemn the Israeli Government’s decision to resume land registration procedures in the occupied West Bank. The decision could lead to the dispossession of Palestinians of their property & risks expanding unlawful Israeli control over land in the area. I call on Israel to reverse these measures & on all to preserve the only path to lasting peace, a negotiated two-State solution in line with international law.

Much gratitude. Hopefully other European states speak out too. Persecuting those who oppose apartheid may itself constitute the crime of apartheid: another count for the @IntlCrimCourt to investigate. May domestic courts also probe apartheid's accomplices.

I’m waiting for the Trump enthusiasts on Sky and in News to explain the brilliance of the Ukraine peace plan produced by their hero in the White House. It mounts to victory for Putin freeing him to target Estonia and Poland. It will be the biggest blow to NATO in its history.

In their own words (Israeli whistleblowers). I suspect this is just the beginning of them coming to terms with the genocide they have carried out in Gaza.
More than a dozen Israeli soldiers spoke to ITV for their new documentary Breaking Ranks: Inside Israel’s War, about how their army’s two-year campaign in Gaza involved shooting unarmed Palestinians en masse, using teenagers as human shields, and flattening entire neighborhoods without pretext of any threat. One soldier recalls a man on a roof hanging his washing. A tank brigade 700 meters away decided to label him a “spotter” with no evidence of threat, and blew up half the residential tower, killing and injuring many civilians. Another remembers two teenage boys quietly pushing a cart, and Israeli soldiers deciding to shoot one in the head, adding: “If they walk too fast, they’re suspicious. If they walk too slow, they’re suspicious. They’re plotting something… If you want to, you can always find a reason to incriminate someone. If I wanted to, I could incriminate the entire Strip.” “Eli,” another soldier, said his commander reported their unit killed 112 “terrorists” at the end of their deployment— before admitting only one was even suspected of being armed. Soldiers said they were ordered to “ignore international law” and told to “take revenge on them all.”
