Let's be clear drawing and enforcing a "Yellow Line" across Gaza that civilians cannot approach/cross is incompatible with international law.

(S+) Kläranlage in Gaza: Mit deutschem Steuergeld gebaut, vom israelischen Militär zerstört
Wenige Stunden vor dem Teilabzug aus dem Gazastreifen haben israelische Soldaten offenbar eine Kläranlage angezündet. Deutschland hatte den Bau einst finanziert. Völkerrechtler sprechen von einem möglichen Kriegsverbrechen.

In this post @tomdannenbaum.bsky.social & I trace how the Starmer Government's repeatedly misconstrues its obligations under the Genocide Convention in #Gaza, hiding behind a Court judgement that is years away with a position that we call "legally illiterate" and "morally indefensible".

A critical call to protect the #ICC in the face of looming US sanctions. As the current US administration is going rogue with sanctions, European states will need to come too grips with how to protect their nationals, their institutions and the rule of law.

Even just reading these paragraphs of the UN Commission of Inquiry is painful. Anyone anywhere participating or helping to commit these atrocities is an international criminal.
