                                              ISRAEL: THIRTY YEARS OF FAILURES AND ERRORS The United Kingdom is considering diplomatic recognition of the state of Palestine, the head of the Foreign Office and former Prime Minister, David Cameron, said this week; an announcement that has not surprised British politicians, aware of this political turn. Cameron has also criticized Israel for its military action in Gaza, stating that this can be framed in “30 years of failures and errors” of the Jewish state. At the same time he has highlighted the “irreversible” nature of a political solution based on the existence of two states, Israel and Palestine, coexisting peacefully. He also said: “We have a responsibility there because we should be starting to set out what a Palestinian state would look like; what it would comprise; how it would work,” he said. “As that happens, we, w...

                                                          A SERIOUS MISTAKE BY SAUDI ARABIA Saudi Arabia would have made a serious political error if it is true, as Morocco claims, which has given orders to the various levels of the royal administration, so that no reference is made to Western Sahara, considering that it belongs to the Alawite kingdom presided over by Mohamed VI. . Western Sahara is a non-autonomous territory subject to decolonization, according to the doctrine of the United Nations, which has not been able to carry out a self-determination referendum for the former Spanish colony, due to the opposition of Morocco. The countries that have recognized that the territory belongs to Morocco violate international law because Rabat has never presented any document proving its possession. The only thing that has been proven is that th...

                                            A COURT, A GENOCIDE The first opinion of the International Court of Justice (ICJ) on the accusation of genocide against Israel, presented by the government of South Africa, has two different readings that show the caution maintained by the senior magistrates of this instance of the United Nations. First, the ICJ merely orders the Israeli government to “do everything possible to prevent acts characteristic of genocide from occurring". But, at the same time, it indirectly recognizes that genocide in Gaza exists, when it also orders Tel Aviv "to adopt measures against those soldiers who have committed actions that could be classified as genocide." South Africa and the Palestinian Authority (PNA) have welcomed this preliminary declaration by the Court, seeing it as a decisive victory with respect to international law. Qatar, for its p...

 TRIBUNAL JUSTICE FEARS DANGER OF GENOCIDE BUT CURRENTLY DOES NOT CONSIDER IT The International Court of Justice (ICJ) today ruled not to take into account the existence of a “genocide” in Gaza, and limited itself to asking Israel to limit civilian deaths in its current offensive in the Palestinian enclave. This decision does not, therefore, assume in their entirety the accusations made in that legal instance by the South African government, but it does represent a strong criticism of Netanyahu and his government. The magistrates also require Israel “to avoid carrying out acts that have the nature of genocide.” The Pretoria government and the Palestinian National Authority (PNA) consider that the ICJ ruling is positive and will further isolate the Jewish state internationally. The court orders Israel to take measures to prevent acts of genocide in the Gaza Strip, must report back in one month. The court says Israel must prevent and punish incitement to genocide on the Strip. The co...

                                                          ISRAEL UNFAIRLY ATTACKS QATAR Israel only wants war. Their objective is not only to eliminate Hamas, but to make Gaza a territory in ruins, causing thousands and thousands of victims among the civilian population and not accepting the rights of the Palestinian population. In this line of the apocalypse in the Palestinian enclave, Prime Minister Netanyahu has unfairly attacked Qatar; something totally insane because it is Qatar that has mediated and mediated for the release of the hostages held by Hamas. Netanyahu has said that Qatar “is more problematic than the United Nations and the Red Cross,” and that he is disappointed that Washington “is not putting more pressure on Doha.” We knew that Netanyahu is a rabid psychopath but we did not think that he was so crazy and so upset as to crit...

                                                                THE STORY OF A GENOCIDE On May 14, 1948, the United Nations decided that Israel had the right to its existence within the framework of the distribution of the British mandate that was then expiring. The Jewish people had suffered the Holocaust and the oppression of German Nazism and other peoples, including Poland. Israel was thus born in lands that were considered Palestinian. But the first war between Arab volunteers and Palestinians broke out on May 15 in a series of clashes that culminated in the victory of the Jewish army, supplied with weapons by the United States and other powers. As a result of that war, the exile of the Palestinian population took place in several phases; an exodus that would affect up to 700,000 people, dispossessed of their lands. Isr ael ...

                                      NETANYAHU REJECTS CREATION OF PALESTINIAN STATE. Once again, what is considered a war criminal, Benjamin Netanyahu, has rejected the creation of an independent Palestinian state to resolve the long conflict between Arabs and the Jewish state. This decision also goes against the position of the United States. The president, Joe Biden, defends the solution of two independent states (Israel and Palestine) living peacefully together. This position has the support of the entire world, but Israel does not accept it, indirectly reaffirming the continuity of its genocide in Gaza, where nearly 25,000 Palestinians have already died. Netanyahu stands up to Biden, knowing that the American president is a weak man, without the will to impose his decisions. The White House would have to impose its position on Tel Aviv, but it still does not do so. There is complicity an...

We have said on several occasions that in all wars information is a very important element. In Gaza there are two ways of reporting. The Arab newspapers and televisions tell the facts but also make use of Israeli propaganda. Images made by Tsahal (Jewish armed forces) are presented and statements by Netanyahu and Yael Gallant, two internationally recognized war criminals, are passed. ARABINFOCUS does not accept this form of reporting “neutrally” but does not condemn it. He understands that the Arab press and TV want to keep their journalists in Israel and that is why they use their propaganda. ARABINFOCUS maintains a different line: It reports the facts, yes, but also condemns those who violate international laws and human rights. We have condemned the terrorist act committed by Hamas on October 7, but we have condemned even more strongly Israel's collective and disproportionate punishment of Palestinian civilians. We condemn this genocide that has already left nearly 25,000 dead, ...

                                      QATAR AND FRANCE IN HELP FOR HOSTAGES Once again, Qatar shows its mediation and humanitarian efforts, in an operation aimed at delivering medicine to the hostages still in the hands of Hamas. Qatari Foreign Ministry spokesman Majed al-Ansari said Tuesday the supplies would leave Doha, the Qatari capital, on two air force planes bound for the Egyptian city of Arish. At least one of the planes carrying the medicines landed in Egypt on Wednesday morning, and the deal to transfer the supplies was underway,  The agreement was reached with the participation of Mossad head David Barnea, who has been in Qatar to discuss the issue of supplying medicines to the hostages.” It said that the medicines were purchased in France, Qatari representatives will be responsible for the delivery to their “final destination.” On the other side,  The US’ Secretary of St...

                   NETANYAHU: AN AGGRESSIVE AND RELENTLESS GENOCIDE At the end of 100 days of war, Netanyahu has once again shown his status as a genocidal aggressor, stating that military operations in Gaza will continue, despite what the International Court of Justice (ICJ) says. "Nobody will stop us; neither the IT, nor the axis of evil; Nor nobody. The war is going to continue for a long time,” declared the head of the Jewish government, with his usual mafia thug tone. We have said and repeated that on October 7, Hamas committed a terrorist attack in Israel that cannot be accepted. He killed 1,200 people and took another 240 prisoners. It is evident that it was a terrorist action. But since October 8, Israel responded in a completely disproportionate manner, bombing the enclave massively. More than 30 percent of the territory is now a pile of ruins. The bombings have killed more than 23,400 Palestinian civilians; two thirds of them w...

                                               ISRAEL FALSES THE TRUTH Israel today rejected the accusations of Genocide in Gaza, presented by South Africa before the international court of justice (ICJ), stating that it has the right to defend itself from the terrorist aggression committed by Hamas on October 7. No one denies Israel the right to defend itself. But defending oneself is one thing and committing ongoing atrocities and war crimes in Gaza; bombing and killing more than 23,000 Palestinian civilians is a very different thing. South Africa's accusations stand alone. Here are the facts: 1.- On October 7, Hamas commits a terrorist attack. 2.-On October 8, Israel declares war and begins the bombing of Gaza. From there, Israel sets no limits to its crimes: The destruction of the enclave begins; the population is displaced to the south; The entry of water, food an...

South Africa on Thursday accused Israel of violating the UN Genocide Convention at the International Court of Justice (ICJ), saying not even the October 7 Hamas attack could justify such alleged violations in Gaza. Pretoria urgently appealed to the Court in The Hague to order Israel to “immediately suspend its military operations” in the Gaza Strip. "No armed attack on the territory of a State, however serious it may be (...) can justify a violation of the Convention", affirmed the South African Minister of Justice, Ronald Lamola, before the Court, highest court of the UN. “Israel's response to the October 7 attack crossed this line and gave rise to violations of the Convention,” he argued before the fifteen ICJ magistrates present at the hearing, broadcast publicly by video link. Israel has vowed to "annihilate" Hamas in power in Gaza and launched an offensive in this Palestinian territory which left at least 23,357 dead, mostly women, adolescents and children,...

                                        YES, ISRAEL'S CRIMES ARE A GENOCIDE Israel Gaza's war crimes can only have one adjective: Genocide. There is no other way to characterize it, although the North American Secretary of State, Antony Blinken, has pointed out that Genocide “is a heavy word.” More than 23,000 Palestinians dead; two-thirds of them women and children, don't they weigh on the United States? Blinken has also regretted that South Africa has denounced Israel for genocide before the International Court of Justice (ICJ). “That decision does not help peace,” said the senior American official, forgetting that the Israeli leaders, Netanyahu first, are not interested in peace, but in ending the destruction of Gaza and expelling the two million people into exile. population. Where the United States appears to have a positive position is in demanding that Palestinian civilians not be ...

                                                  JOURNALISTS CONTINUE DYING IN GAZA International press correspondents in Gaza continue to die due to attacks by Israeli forces. A missile launched this Sunday by a plane from those forces hit a car in which three journalists were traveling, leaving them destroyed. One of them is a son of Al Jazeera's bureau chief in the enclave, Yael Al-Dahdouh. Yael's case is the most dramatic of all. In this attack he lost his son, the journalist Hamza Al-Dahdouh, but before that his wife, another son and a grandson had died in another bombing on a refugee camp. A drama; the destruction of an entire Palestinian family for which the only person responsible is the Prime Minister, Netanyahu and his racist government. “Hamza was not just part of me. He was the whole of me. He was the soul of my soul. These are tears of sadness, of lo...

                                                        A PLACE OF DEATH AND DESPERATION. “Gaza has become a place of death and hopelessness, where it is impossible to live.” This is the phrase uttered by the United Nations humanitarian coordinator, Martin Griffiths, in a statement; three months after the violent action by Hamas in Israeli territory. Despite the fact that the UN Security Council adopted a resolution to allow humanitarian aid to enter Gaza, Israel maintains its controls and only allows small quantities to enter the enclave that are not enough to alleviate the needs of a population where hunger prevails. and the lack of medicines, among other needs. France and Jordan jointly carried out, on Friday, an operation to drop medicine, water and food using two military transport planes. The aid drop occurred near the Jordanian hospital in Ga...

                          ERDOGAN: THE COURAGE AND CLARITY OF A MAN “Netanyahu is another Adolf Hitler.” Those spoken this week by the president of Turkey, Racip Erdogan, reflect the clarity and courage of a political man, when it comes to analyzing the war crimes that Israel commits in the Gaza Strip. Hitler ordered the genocide of the Jews during World War II. Netanyahu does exactly the same with the Palestinian population of Gaza. Erdogan only tells the truth, while other Western leaders remain silent or weakly criticize the prime minister of the Jewish state. It would take many Erdogans for the world to feel that Israel has turned its back on the civilized world. It is true that Jews suffered a terrorist attack on October 7, when 1,200 of them died. But today there are more than 2,000 Palestinian civilians who have been crushed by the bombing of Gaza by Israeli aircraft. The blood of more than 8,000 dead children in Ga...

                                                                            STATE TERRORISM Once again, Israel uses all the weapons it possesses to commit a terrorist attack aimed at weakening the Palestinian Hamas movement. A combat drone launched against the offices of this organization in Beirut, killed the Palestinian leader, Saleh El Arouri, and five other people. The assassination of Palestinian leaders has been carried out by the Jewish state for many years. Mossad services are constantly working to develop plans with that intention. Israel wants to show that its enemies are not safe wherever they are. Arab and Muslim countries have condemned this aggression, while Ismael Haniyeh, the top leader of Hamas, declared that the crime in which El Arouri lost his life will not go unpunished. Furtherm...
