Israeli minister calls for the building of a new settlement
for every country that recognises Palestine
Israel’s far-right Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich today announced punitive measures against Palestinian Authority and called on Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to take steps against the Palestinian Authority (PA) after Ireland, Norway and Spain announced that they would recognise the State of Palestine. According to Haaretz, Smotrich also demanded “punitive measures” from Netanyahu, “including: promoting the construction of tens of thousands of housing units in the West Bank; establishing a settlement ‘for every country that unilaterally recognises a Palestinian state’; cancelling the Norwegian arrangement; promoting a government decision to strengthen settlements in the West Bank; and revoking the VIP permits of Palestinian Authority officials at crossings, alongside imposing economic sanctions on them and their families.”
ICJP files Gaza war crimes complaint against UK officials
A leading UK legal centre that advocates for the rights of Palestinians has issued a formal complaint accusing a number of British Government officials of complicity in facilitating war crimes in Israel’s war on Gaza. The International Centre of Justice for Palestinians (ICJP) has filed an 800-page dossier of evidence to Scotland Yard – which consists of what it says is proof of genocide of Gaza. The latest entry follows the ICJP’s 60-page dossier submitted in January, which outlined a range of suspected war crimes. This included attacks on civilians and civilian infrastructure – such as hospitals and cultural property – the use of starvation as a weapon of war, and Israel’s use of white phosphorus against civilians. The ICJP also said it named nine British citizens who travelled to Israel to fight in the Israeli military –as well as senior Israeli government officials, such as members of Israel’s war cabinet, and high-ranking military personnel.
