❌ Israel is Ignoring ICJ Ruling – South Africa

Israel continues to kill hundreds of civilians daily, ignoring the court’s order to do all it can to prevent death, South Africa’s foreign minister Naledi Pandor has said.

“Hundreds of people have been killed in the last three or four days. And clearly Israel believes it has license to do as it wishes,” the FM noted.

Pandor added that her country has also asked why an arrest warrant for Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu has not been issued in a case South Africa filed at the separate International Criminal Court.

🤔 US Designates Over a Dozen Chinese Tech Firms as "Military Offshoots"

The Pentagon has alleged a bunch of Chinese tech companies are extensions of the Beijing's military, and therefore a security risk to the US – including China Three Gorges Corp, YMTC - 🇨🇳's largest chipmaker – and drone manufacturer Chengdu JOUAV.

The firms have been added to a blacklist created by the US Defense Dept -  one of numerous actions Washington has taken in recent years to highlight and restrict Chinese companies that is says may strengthen Beijing’s military.

While being listed does not impose a complete ban, it renders the firms ineligible for Defence Dept contracts and may lead to a further blacklisting by the US Treasury Dept, potentially affecting their business prospects.

🤔 Israeli Military Planes Have Landed at Four Locations in Britain Since Oct 7 – Declassified

At least six Israeli Air Force aircraft have visited Britain since the Gaza bombing began, but the UK govt has refused a request from Declassified to reveal what was on them.

The ICJ recently said it was “plausible” Israel is committing genocide in Gaza.

The latest information about Israeli military assets using American airbases in Britain during its campaign could implicate UK ministers in crimes against humanity - if it is discovered the flights were used to transport weapons for genocide.

😳 Deutsche Bank to Cull 3,500 Office Jobs and Reward Shareholders

Deutsche had already announced plans to cut jobs, but this was the first time it had put a number on the layoffs, equivalent to just under 4% of its global workforce of about 90k.

The bank will also buy back shares and pay dividends worth a total of $1.7bn.

Germany's biggest bank had recently reported a 30% drop in fourth-quarter profit that still beat analyst expectations – it undertook a major overhaul in 2019 after years of losses.
