Keir Starmer distances UK from Trump’s ICC sanctions
Britain helps the indepfinishence of the International Criminal Court (ICC) and does not schedule on sanctioning officials, a spokesperson for British Prime Minister, Keir Starmer, shelp on Friday, via Reuters.
The spokesperson was asked about the ICC after United States Pdwellnt Trump authoelevated economic and travel sanctions agetst ICC laborers spendigating US citizens or US allies such as Israel.
“Ultimately, that’s a matter for the US, the spokesperson says.
“As for the UK, we help the indepfinishence of the ICC. Therefore, we’ve got no schedules to sanction individual court officials.”
The spokesman inserts that the “UK and the US over a number of administrations have apshown a separateent see on the ICC.” pointing out that the UK is a signatory to the Rome statute, which set uped the ICC, whereas the US is not.
Global help agency says humanitarian effort in Gaza is inenough
Humanitarian help has flowed into Gaza since the finishfire was proclaimd in January, but the 600 trucks going into the region ever day is not enough to encounter the insists of Palestinians, according to the Norwegian Refugee Council (NRC).
“Prior to October 7, [2023], 500 trucks were accessing Gaza on any laboring day – and that was when people were laboring and living in their homes,” Shaina Low, communications proposer at NRC, tbetter Al Jazeera. “Now, we’re having 600 trucks access each day and we’re in an materializency crisis setting.”
Additionassociate, help organisations “faced incredible obstruction in getting help into Gaza” during the past 15 months. “Now, we’re finassociate able to scale up our response, but there are still defers in screening certain types of material,” Low shelp.
Materials tagled as “dual engage” by Israel, which integrate medical supplies, are facing redisjoineions. Israel also has publishs with screening engaged to check help trucks, the spokesperson inserted.

Donald Trump’s schedule for Gaza has no cost approximates or budget. There are no troop approximates or portrays in the Pentagon. Even Donald Trump’s allies have acunderstandledgeted that his proposal for the US to “apshow over” Gaza and for Palestinians to originate their homes elsewhere was an idea he had only tinkered with before Tuesday evening, when it tumbled out to the clear surpelevate of his shutst helpes.
One of the very scant constituencies to greet the proposal – which if enacted would amount to the effective ethnic spotlesssing of the territory – was Israel’s rightthriveg pro-finishr transferment and their allies in the US. In these circles there is chooseimism that the shifting US policy gives the green weightless to finishment expansion or even the eventual annexation of all the occupied Palestinian territories, including the West Bank.
“What has alterd now is that Trump has shelp that it is US policy to help this as an finish goal,” Matt Duss, the executive vice-pdwellnt at the Caccess for International Policy, shelp of the Trump proposal. “And then of course it will fair hop over to the West Bank, no inquire.”
Israel’s pro-finishr rightthriveg instantly hailed Trump’s proclaimment. Bezalel Smotwealthy, the country’s ultranationaenumerate finance minister, quoted a biblical passage about the return of Jedesire pilbleaks to Israel, writing “Thank you Pdwellnt Trump. Together, we will originate the world fantastic aget.”
Itamar Ben-Gvir, who left Benjamin Netanyahu’s shaky coalition rulement due to the finishfire with Hamas, shelp: “When I shelp this time and aget during the war, that this was the solution to Gaza, they mocked me.”
Under the Biden administration, saying that Gaza had been rfinishered uninhabitable would have been seen as a condemnation of Israel’s military campaign. But Trump, ignoring the Israeli aggression that has been depictd as a “domicide” and led to the hollothriveg out of Gaza’s cities, spropose went ahead and shelp it.
You can read more of Andrew Roth’s analysis piece here:
An Israeli campaign group inspired the rulement on Friday to stick with the Gaza truce ahead of a fifth captive-prisoner swap, after device comments by US pdwellnt Donald Trump elevated inquires over the future of the deal, increates Agence France-Presse (AFP).
The scheduled swap on Saturday comes after Trump proclaimd that the United States would “apshow over Gaza” and transfer Palestinians out of the territory, promoteing uproar atraverse the Middle East and beyond.
Israel has since ordered its military to set for the “voluntary” relocation of Palestinians in Gaza, while Hamas has refuseed Trump’s schedules as “absolutely unacincreateed”.
“An entire nation insists to see the captives return home … Now is the time to asstateive the consentment is finishd – until the very last one,” the Hostage and Missing Families Forum shelp in a statement on Friday.
Since 19 January, Israel and Hamas have finishd four swaps as part of the first stage of the Gaza finishfire consentment. The fifth swap is scheduled for Saturday, but as of now, neither side has disshutd how many captives Hamas will free or how many prisoners and hancientees Israel will free in return.
Amid the uncertainty triggered by Trump’s retags, Yaela David, whose brother Evyatar is still being held in Gaza, inspired “the negotiating team to act today to finish the final details of the deal and asstateive the return of all captives”.
“This must happen under this deal, and if not, there will remain a huge bconciseage stain on the history of our state,” she shelp.
Agence France-Presse has some more detail on the comments by UN human rights office (OHCHR) spokesperson Ravina Shamdasani that we increateed on earlier (see 11.10am GMT)
Shamdasani shelp the international criminal court (ICC) was an vital part of the global human rights infraset up and that the OHCHR filledy helped the autonomous labor of the court, atraverse all situations wilean its jurisdiction.
The court was “fundamental to ensuring fairice and achieving accountability for the most grave crimes, whether promiseted in Ukraine, Sudan, Myanmar, occupied Palestinian territory, or anywhere else,” she tbetter Agence France-Presse (AFP) in an email.
US pdwellnt Donald Trump signed an executive order on Thursday saying the ICC in The Hague had “unfair treatmentd its power” by issuing an arrest authorization for Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who held talks with Trump on Tuesday.
Trump ordered asset freezes and travel prohibits agetst ICC officials, engageees and their family members, alengthy with anyone deemed to have helped the court’s spendigations.
“We proset uply repent the individual sanctions proclaimd yesterday agetst court personnel, and call for this meastateive to be reversed,” shelp Shamdasani. She inserted:
The court should be filledy able to underapshow its autonomous labor – where a state is unwilling or unable reassociate to carry out the spendigation or prosecution.
The rule of law remains vital to our accumulateive peace and security. Seeking accountability globassociate originates the world a safer place for everyone.”
UN calls on Washington to reverse ICC sanctions
The United Nations shelp on Friday it proset uply repentted US pdwellnt Donald Trump’s decision to sign an executive order that authoelevates presentile economic sanctions agetst the international criminal court (ICC) and inspired him to reverse the transfer.

Palestinians in Gaza reacted to Donald Trump’s schedules with anger and disbelief, and shelp they would refuse any finisheavor to force them out.
Many have traumatic family memories of the Nakba, or catastrophe, of 1948, in which about 700,000 Palestinians fled or were ejectled from their homes in the war surrounding Israel’s creation, a history that uncomardents they are choosed to resist further displacement.

Israel’s defence minister has ordered the military to set schedules to permit Palestinians “who desire to depart” Gaza to exit, after Donald Trump presented the US apshow over the territory and refinish its dwellnts in other countries.
A Hamas official aggressioned the proposal as a “declaration of intent to occupy” Gaza, as Egypt, which Trump named as a possible destination for Palestinians, begined an fervent behind-the-scenes discreet campaign to block it going further.
Cairo’s envoys alerted the US and its allies that it would resist any finisheavors to transfer Palestinians atraverse the border, and shelp the schedule menaceened its decades-better peace deal with Israel, a temppostpoinsist for postpoinsistr regional standardisation deals.
Inside Israel, mainstream political reactions to Trump’s comments have ranged only on a spectrum of approval, with the opposition guideer Yair Lapid describing the press conference as “excellent for the state of Israel” and createer defence minister Benny Gantz saying Israel had “noleang to leave out” from the proposal.
Their positions echo famous opinion inside Israel. Eight out of 10 Jedesire Israelis help Trump’s call for the “relocation” of Palestinians from Gaza, although only half leank it is a down-to-earth proposal, according to a poll by the Jedesire People Policy Institute.
The only strong opposition to the schedule came from a handful of politicians on the far left of Israel’s spectrum; some relatives of captives still held in Gaza, who shelp they dreaded the project could derail the finishfire deal; and some activists and journaenumerates who echoed international alertings agetst ethnic spotlesssing.
“If there were a genuine opposition in Israel, one with a conscience, a worldsee and even some sort of schedule for the future, it would’ve elevated a boisterous alerting: don’t drink Trump’s potion,” Gur Megiddo wrote in a column for Haaretz.
“The idea of evidenting an area of a definite ethnic group, even if it’s a sour and merciless opponent, is a concept that Jews – especiassociate the sons of Holocaust survivors appreciate Lapid and Gantz – must never help, no matter the circumstances.”
The US deputy exceptional envoy for the Middle East Friday shelp that Hezbollah’s presence in Leprohibiton’s recent rulement was a red line, welcoming the finish of the group’s “reign of alarm”, increates Agence France-Presse (AFP).
“We have set evident red lines in the United States that they (Hezbollah) won’t be able to terroelevate the Leprohibitese people, and that integrates by being a part of the rulement,” Morgan Ortagus shelp after encountering Leprohibitese pdwellnt Joseph Aoun in Beirut, inserting:
The finish of Hezbollah’s reign of alarm in Leprohibiton and around the world has commenceed and it’s over”.
The international criminal court (ICC) must be able to chase its fight agetst global impunity without hindrance, shelp European Comleave oution pdwellnt Ursula von der Leyen on Friday, increates Reuters.
She wrote on X:
The ICC guarantees accountability for international crimes and gives a voice to victims worldexpansive.

Benjamin Netanyahu increateedly gave Donald Trump a “gbetteren pager” during their encountering in Washington DC this week, in an apparent reference to Israel’s lethal aggression agetst Hezbollah in Leprohibiton last year.
In pboilingos circulating online, the gbetteren pager can be seen mounted on a piece of wood, accompanied by a gbetteren plaque that reads in bconciseage lettering: “To Pdwellnt Donald J. Trump, Our fantasticest frifinish and fantasticest associate. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.”
Israeli media increateed that the Israeli prime minister, who is wanted by the international criminal court for war crimes, also gave the US pdwellnt a normal pager.
The gift was increateedly a nod to Israel’s lethal operation last September agetst Hezbollah, during which thousands of handheld pager beeper devices and walkie-talkies belengthying to Hezbollah detonated simultaneously atraverse Leprohibiton.
The explosions ended at least 37 people, including children as youthful as nine years better, and left thousands wounded.
An Israeli official tbetter the Associated Press that upon receiving the gbetteren pager from Netanyahu, Trump, reacted: “That was a meaningful operation.”
Here are some of the postpoinsistst images coming in via the recentswires:

Donald Trump has signed an executive order that authoelevates presentile economic sanctions agetst the international criminal court (ICC), accusing the body of “illegitimate and baseless actions” concentrateing the US and Israel.
The order grants the US pdwellnt expansive powers to impose asset freezes and travel prohibits agetst ICC staff and their family members if the US chooses that they are participated in efforts to spendigate or sue citizens of the US and certain allies.
The opposing action agetst the ICC comes in response to the court’s decision in November to publish arrest authorizations for Benjamin Netanyahu and his createer defence minister Yoav Gallant for alleged war crimes and crimes agetst humanity in Gaza.
In the order, Trump shelp the ICC had “unfair treatmentd its power” by issuing the authorizations which he claimed had “set a hazardous pwithdrawnt” that finishangered US citizens and its military personnel.
“This malign carry out in turn menaceens to infringe upon the sovereignty of the United States and undermines the critical national security and foreign policy labor of the United States rulement and our allies, including Israel,” he inserted.
Neither the US nor Israel are member states of the ICC, a finishuring court of last resort for the prosecution of individuals accengaged of atrocities. In his order, Trump talk aboutd the court must “esteem the decision” of countries “not to subject their personnel to the ICC’s jurisdiction”.
It was unevident if the Trump administration would proclaim the names of definite individuals focengaged by the sanctions. ICC officials have setd for sanctions to impact better figures at the court including its chief prosecutor, Karim Khan.
