Polish Newspaper: Fearing Arrest Netanyahu to Skip 80th Anniversary of Auschwitz Liberation (Jewish Press, 2024-12-20)
🤔
“The right-of-center Polish daily #Rzeczpospolita (circulation of 274,000), on Friday reported … that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will not attend events in #Poland marking the 80th anniversary of the liberation of the Auschwitz camp, for fear of being arrested in accordance with the order issued by the International Criminal Court in The Hague.
“The newspaper quoted Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs Władysław Bartoszewski, who is responsible for coordinating the ceremony on January 27 with the participation of several dozen world leaders, who stated, ‘We are obliged to respect the decisions of the International Criminal Court (#ICC) in The Hague.’”
A propos "Hamas Flag", cf. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Flag_of_Hamas.svg
Note: "... there is a confusion about the Hamas flag. One is white with Hamas emblem* on it, and the military branch's flag is green with a shahada?"

‘Emilia Perez’ wins big at European Film Awards 2024 (Screen Daily, 2024-12-07)
“The documentary prize was won by No Other Land, about the Israeli demolition of villages in Masafer Yatta in the West Bank. It is the latest in a string of wins for Berlinale premiere ...”
“Two of its co-directors – Israeli journalist Yuval Abraham and Palestinian activist Basel Adra – accepted the reward remotely by video feed. Adra said it was very hard to celebrate the award at a time when ‘the occupation is committing a genocide against my people,’ while Abraham said ethnic cleansing was being carried out against the Palestinian people in Gaza.
“Addressing European governments, Abraham said: ‘It’s not enough to demand a ceasefire. A ceasefire needs to be imposed.’ As they finished their acceptance speech, a shout of ‘Free Palestine’ rang out in the auditorium.”

Beware: “colleagues”
“We are heartbroken to share that a vehicle carrying World Central Kitchen colleagues was hit by an Israeli airstrike in Gaza.
“At this time, we are working with incomplete information and are urgently seeking more details.
“World Central Kitchen had no knowledge that any individual in the vehicle had alleged ties to the October 7th Hamas attack.
“World Central Kitchen is pausing operations in Gaza at this time…”
Watch for yourself how the director got “shout down”:

Nan Goldin Addresses War in Gaza at Berlin Exhibition Opening: ‘Are You Afraid to Hear This, Germany?’ (Art News, 2024-11-22)
“With tension mounting surrounding her solo show at Berlin’s Neue Nationalgalerie, Nan Goldin delivered an impassioned speech at the exhibition’s opening in which she called on Germany to take seriously those who are seeking a ceasefire in Israel’s war in Gaza.”
“She went on to note a concurrent rise in Islamophobia that she said was being ‘ignored’ by the German state. ‘The weaponization of antisemitism is being aimed at the Palestinian community in this country and those who speak in support for them,’ she added. ‘The #ICC is talking about genocide. The #UN is talking about genocide. Even the #Pope is talking about genocide. Yet we’re not supposed to talk about this as genocide. Are you afraid to hear this, #Germany ?’”

———
“Israel has confirmed it is holding Gaza hospital director Dr Hussam Abu Safiya after earlier telling a local NGO that it was unaware of his case, sparking concern for his well being.”
“The statement did not offer an explanation for the confusion but repeated that he was suspected of being a ‘terrorist’ and for ‘holding a rank’ in Hamas…”
“On Thursday the IDF told Physicians for Human Rights Israel (PHRI) that it had ‘no indication of the arrest or detention of the individual in question’"
“Meanwhile Amnesty head Agnès Callamard said Israeli authorities must ‘urgently disclose his whereabouts’".
