RAMALLAH: The State of Palestine rejected and condemned the latest statements made by Israel’s Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, pledging to continue the genocidal war in defiance of both the international community and the role of the International Court of Justice. The same objectionable sentiment was also echoed by other officials, including Israel’s representative to the UN, Gilad Erdan, who called for the UN to be put on trial before the Court.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates, in a statement, stressed that states that have enabled, encouraged and participated in Israel’s genocide are also complicit in these attacks against the Court and its officials.
Their politicized and polarizing positions are also aimed at the legitimate right of States to resort to the Court and reflect an unacceptable double standard that betrays the principles and purpose of the UN Charter, said the statement.
The State of Palestine saluted the principled positions and solidarity of many States, organizations
, and millions of people worldwide. ‘They have shown moral consistency and true dedication to the universality of international law and the institutions charged with its protection, including the International Court of Justice.’
“We are at a crossroads requiring political courage. We have a responsibility to reject and stop the selective application of international law, which will result in its irrelevance., while the world is watching,” the statement concluded.

Hezbollah Secretary-General, Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah, called today in his delivered speech marking one week since the martyrdom of party leader Wissam Hassan Tawil, for cooperation ‘to secure all the factors of steadfastness needed in this battle because we do not know its time frame.’
‘Israel is mired in failure and is in a deep hole, as confirmed by its analysts, with no achieved victory…It has not reached any of its declared and undeclared goals, as unanimously stated by the Israelis themselves,’ Nasrallah said.
He added: “The occupation’s losses add to its confusion, the latest of which is the discovery of 4,000 disabled persons among its army within a hundred days, and the number may reach 30,000.”
Nasrallah also touched on the aggression against Yemen considering that it represents American and British foolishness, adding that what the Americans did in the Red Sea will harm all shipping traffic, all for the sake of protecting Israel…!’
