Israel continues to kill children.
🔴 In yet another crime that reflects the systematic targeting of Palestinian children & schools, the #IsraeliOccupation forces murdered today the child Ritaj Abdul Raouf Reyhan, a 3rd-grade #student at Abu Ubaida ibn al-Jarrah School inside the tent that served as her classroom.

I am profoundly saddened by the passing of Ambassador Konjit Sene Giorgis, a doyenne of Ethiopia's modern diplomacy. We remain forever grateful for her role in the founding of the OAU and the subsequent transition to the AU. More than her vast achievements, it was her unyielding love for Ethiopia and the African cause that defined her. Konjit was the companion we leaned on for wisdom, and she will be remembered for her impeccable service and held in the highest reverence.

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.

The ICJ has just rejected EVERY SINGLE ISRAELI POINT and found: that Israel is an illegal occupier, has a duty to ensure humanitarian relief is provided to the Palestinians, must cooperate with the UN and specifically UNRWA, and other aid agencies must allow ICRC access to Palestinian prisoners Just some of the highlights.

The ICJ has just rejected all objections and (spurious) defenses and found that the Israeli regime is in violation of international law in its obstruction of aid, its attacks on UNRWA and other agencies, its mass murder of hundreds of UN staff, its violations of the rights of aid workers, civilians, and prisoners, its destruction of UN and other aid facilities, the use of starvation as a method of war, and that it must cease all such actions in Gaza, the West Bank, and East Jerusalem. As usual, Israel regime agent Judge Sebutinde, who still has not recused or been removed, was alone in dissenting on several key findings of the court.
