The US cannot Gaza because Israel as an occupying power (Gaza is under occupation) cannot 'sell' the territory to US. Where are the real journalists in the press corps?
BREAKING: President Donald Trump says Palestinians won’t have the right to return to Gaza under his plan for U.S. "ownership" of the war-torn territory.

Great to see:
Norway together with 78 States Parties, expresses its support for the independence, impartiality, & integrity of the #ICC. Measures sanctioning the Court increase the risk of impunity for the most serious crimes & threaten to erode the international rule of law.

.@ITFglobalunion calls for an immediate cessation of the activities of armed groups, the rapid return of peace, free movement of goods and people, the immediate withdrawal of all foreign armed forces and the respect of the sovereignty of the #DRC.
“The situation in Democratic Republic of Congo is catastrophic: the scale of suffering is incomprehensible and there is an urgent need to protect civilians and working people.” - ITF condemns the escalating violence in eastern DRC ⬇️

Both Houses of #Uruguay's General Assembly have now passed the #PlatformWork law. Law sets minimum conditions for both employees & indy contractors. For employees, working time is for all time laboured. Algo transparency limited. LINK: #gigeconomy

We’ve been conditioned into accepting this sort of stuff as the new normal. I watched the entire presser. It was excruciating. Normalizing ethnic cleansing like this without any real challenge from the press corps is extraordinary. How, just how??
DOOCY: Would Palestinians have the right to return to Gaza if they left during the rebuilding? TRUMP: It would be my hope that we could do something really nice, really good, where they wouldn't want to return (A reporter can be heard yelling, "It's their home, sir!")

Intolerable.
The UN agency for Palestinian refugees (UNRWA) says 30,000 Palestinians have been forcibly displaced after Israel destroyed large sections of the Jenin refugee camp in the occupied West Bank in a series of explosions at the weekend. 🔴 LIVE Updates:

A 135% increase on 2023 of #seafarer abandonments. To end this despicable practice, all actors along the supply chain must play their part. Lead firms/brands ('cargo owners') must conduct effective HRDD in consultation with @ITFglobalunion to mitigate risk. #bizhumanrights
⚠️ Abandonment of Seafarers. Cases of seafarer abandonment spiralled to record levels in 2024 📈 🧵 (1/4)

The Hague Group represents a new generation of Global South countries reimagining the 'international legal order' through a decolonial lens & standing up for accountability and enforcement. More States must take action to end impunity for international crimes wherever they occur.
