🚨 | 🇮🇶 Major escalation from Iraqi Resistance leader Abu Alaa al-Walai:

“At a time when the criminal American occupation is again blatantly targeting our security forces and our sacred crowd in a number of areas of Iraq, we urge the Mujahideen of the Islamic Resistance in Iraq to begin the 2nd phase of their blessed operations, which includes enforcing the blockade on Zionist maritime navigation in the Mediterranean Sea, and removing the entity’s ports until the Zionist usurper is out of service, and this will continue until the unjust siege on Gaza is lifted, and the horrific Zionist massacres against its people are stopped.”

— 🇮🇱/🇾🇪 NEW: Since Yemen's Ansarullah started its operations against Israeli-affiliated shipping, cargo passing through the Suez Canal has decreased by approximately 85%

Suez Canal shipping has come to an almost complete stop after the Red Sea attacks. This has a major impact on the Israeli economy, they won't be able to handle this much longer.

@Middle_East_Spectator

— 🇳🇱/🇿🇦/🇮🇱 NEW: International Court of Justice announces provisional measures

Israel must immediately cease:

1. Killing members of the ethnic group (Palestinians).
2. Causing serious bodily or mental harm to members of the group.
3. Deliberately inflicting measures upon the group that could indirectly result in harm.
4. Preventing births from happening within the group.

The court orders Israel to report to the ICJ within one month, to submit proof that it has taken the necessary action to abide by the measures as ordered by the court.

– The court has ruled 15 to 2 that the State of Israel must prevent the destruction, and commit to the preservation, of any evidence of its crimes against the Palestinians.

– The court had ruled 15 to 2 that the State of Israel must immediately stop any action that could possibly fall under the scope of genocide.

— 🇮🇱 Israeli Analyst, Barak Ravid:

'The spins about a 'victory' in The Hague are already starting. The very fact that merely 3 months after October 7th we were summoned (at the ICC) is a defeat in itself. The verdict of the court casts a heavy shadow on the judgement of the Israeli leadership. It will only increase the intl. pressure to end the war.'

Some Israeli media and government officials are spinning the story into a victory, due to the ICC did not directly complying with South Africa's demand to call for an immediate ceasefire. Barak Ravid here explains why it is still a big slap in the face for Israel.

— 🇮🇱/🇵🇸 About the court case —>

Yes, it most likely means nothing in practical terms. Anyone who thinks Israel will listen to international law, is unfamiliar with both Israel and the so-called 'international law' that the hegemonic powers claim exists.

However, one thing is significant about this. It is now UNDENIABLE that Israel is comitting a genocide. Even though it has not yet been officially proven, and it might never be (because they control the institutions), the ICC's statements from today set an important precedent.

The Zionists can no longer laugh at us and call us biased, chew us up and spit us out for using the word genocide. Because genocide is what it is. And now, the highest legal institution in the world is finally starting to openly accept this fact.

In the end, there is a war on the ground, but there is also a war of rhetoric, a war of public discourse. Up until recently, the Zionists were undoubtedly winning the media war. But thank God, times have changed. And it won't stop here.
