Raids continued across the occupied West Bank since last night and into early this morning. In Tulkarem, specifically in the Nur Shams refugee camp, a raid has persisted for 26 hours. The locals report a significant number of arrests, describing them as “massive,” though an exact count remains unconfirmed. Reports indicate armed confrontations between Palestinian fighters and the occupation forces in Tulkarem, further escalating the situation. Another raid in Tubas has resulted in the death of one Palestinian during gunfights, as the occupation forces label it an arrest operation.

Sultan Barakat, a professor of public policy at Hamad Bin Khalifa University, says that the genocide case filed by South Africa against Israel at the International Court of Justice will be “the most important instrument of international pressure against Israel”. “The way that South Africa has addressed this issue is that they are purely focused on the fact that Israel, by December 29 when the case was filed, has murdered more than 20,000 civilians without achieving any clear goal, in that they seem to be pursuing a genocide against the Palestinian people and specifically within Gaza,” Barakat said. The ICJ works slightly differently from the International Criminal Court in that […]
