#TASTNGTRAFFIC_LLC has ⬛ BLOCKED THE STATE OF 🇮🇱 #ISREAL FROM OUR NETWORKS SINCE IT HAS BEEN AJUDICATED 👨⚖️ 👩⚖️ BY THE #ICC THAT ISREAL IS A #APARTHEID_STATE THAT WE #RECOGNIZE 🔍 INTERNATIONALLY AS #WAR_CRIMES AGAINST #HUMANITY. 🩸
Not to be confused with #South_Africa's #genocide case against 🇮🇱 #Israel or #Trial of #Benjamin_Netanyahu.
Benjamin Netanyahu (left) and Yoav Gallant (right). Both had arrest warrants issued against them by the ICC.
On 21 November 2024, following an investigation of war crimes and crimes against humanity, the International Criminal Court (ICC) issued arrest warrants for two senior Israeli officials, Benjamin Netanyahu, the #Prime_Minister of #Israel, and Yoav Gallant, the former Minister of #Defense of #Israel, alleging responsibility for the #war_crime of #starvation as a #method of #warfare and the #crimes_against_humanity of #murder, #persecution, and other #inhumane_acts during the Israel–Hamas war.[1][2] The warrant against Netanyahu is the first against the head of government of a major #Western ally.[3]
124 ICC #member_states are now *required to #arrest Netanyahu and Gallant if they #enter their #territory, including #France and the #United_Kingdom.[4]
The ICC also issued an arrest warrant for Hamas military commander #Mohammed_Deif, who was #reportedly_killed in an Israeli airstrike on 13 July 2024.[a] An additional possible effect these arrest warrants have is that additional #warrants may be issued #against Israeli senior #IDF_officers fighting in #Gaza.[7][8]

#DHS has requested more than 20,000 #NationalGuard members to help with the #Trump admin’s #immigration crackdown, according to two US officials with knowledge of the plans.
The request to the #Defense Dept came after Trump asked DHS last week to increase its ranks by pulling in 20,000 officers from state or federal agencies.
