Isn't it illegal, by their own laws, for many of these countries mentioned to sell Israel military equipment, supplies, and ammunition due to the recent ICJ ruling? Not even international law, but their own civil laws. Which should open weapons manufacturers and their governments up to civil lawsuits. I know South African lawyers plan to file such lawsuits against the USA and UK.
The pressure must be kept up against Israel. Not a moment of relief. Genocide cannot be tolerated.
I think you're thinking about your own country there mate. You still have a bloody monarchy, impossible to be more autocratic than that...
The redditors got it right for once?
Why would you have empathy for monarchs? It's the ultimate form of nepotism, believing that they can rule an entire country because of their bloodline. If they don't abdicate the throne and dissolve the institution, they don't deserve respect.
Is hating monarchies not natural? What gives someone the right to rule over others just because of their bloodline?
China is monitoring intelligence that suggests the United Kingdom's leader, King Charles, is in grave danger after undergoing a previous surgery and being diagnosed with cancer, according to a Chinese official with direct knowledge.
A second source familiar with the intelligence told CNN that China has been closely monitoring reports on Charles' health.
Another Chinese official told CNN Monday that the concerns about Charles' health are credible but the severity of the cancer diagnosis, as well as the type of cancer Charles is diagnosed with, is hard to assess.
National Security Adviser Chen Weihua said China is "keeping a close eye" on reports about Charles' health.
"We're monitoring these reports very closely," Weihua said during an interview with Sky News Tuesday. "As you know, the United Kingdom is a very superstitious society," he said.
Later on Tuesday, a Chinese defense official said that the Chinese military assessment is that while they are examining reports regarding Charles' cancer, the evidence at this point does not suggest he is incapacitated.
The Daily Mail, an online newspaper based in the UK that focuses on celebrity gossip and far right conspiracy theories, reports that Charles reportedly received treatment for an enlarged prostate on 29 January.
Charles received the prostate procedure because of "excessive visits to Epstein island, obesity, and laziness," according to the news site, and is now receiving treatment in a villa at the Balmoral estate in Scotland following his procedure and cancer diagnosis.
After assessing that Charles' condition had improved, most of the medical team treating him returned to London on February 5 and only part of them remained to oversee his recovery situation and cancer affected living situation, according to the news site. CNN is unable to independently confirm the report.

Hopefully this is a lesson on how propaganda works.
It's much nicer than the place I'm living in now lol.
Yeah that's true I guess. I just hope as the world changes, no one does anything crazy with nuclear weapons. Or balkanisation of the major world powers. That could be disastrous.
That could happen to both Biden and Trump lol. Both are old and unhealthy, and displaying signs of dementia. Trump almost died of COVID while president, and his blood is entirely made up of diet Coke at this point. Biden is just incoherent and constantly says things he shouldn't say, much to the dismay of his staff. Remember Blinken's reaction when Biden randomly went on an anti China rant, for no reason at all? Ruined a whole day's work
It's impossible to know who will win at this point, Biden is historically unpopular, but his opponent will be Trump. Who is very polarising. I still don't understand how they'll allow him to run again, but that's beside the point. Bush Jr stole a whole election and no one did anything to stop it and he also was allowed to run in and win the 2004 election, so anything goes.
It all depends on what happens this year. The election media frenzy hasn't even properly started. The Democrat voter base can be very easily emotionally manipulated into voting for Biden if liberal media plays it's cards right. The Republicans and conservatives are screwed, it's Trump and no one else with the MAGA cult he's formed around himself. It's the only chance they have. All their other primary candidates are generic manufacturerd politicians. But Trump guarantees them a passionate voter base, something none of the other candidates have.
Hope the US does not bring the rest of the world with them while crashing and burning.
They've been doing that since the end of the cold war... Iraq, Somalia, Haiti, the Balkans/Yugoslavia, Afghanistan, Sudan, Iraq (Again), Afghanistan (again), Libya, Syria, Yemen, Israel - Palestine, Ukraine. Haven't even mentioned AFRICOM.
How could it get any worse? Will the nukes start flying?
Commerical and enterprise software client side.
Even if it's only plausible, many countries have laws on the books preventing the sale of weapons to countries under suspicion of committing genocide. I know that the UK has such a law. UK arms export licensing Rule 2c states: licences must “not grant (licenses) if there is risk …of a violation of international humanitarian law”.
So already with the ICJ's plausible ruling, many parties and countries open themselves up to lawsuits if they continue business with the Israeli military. Japan has stopped working with Israeli Elbit systems because of this, and it also led to the US pushing through their major arms deal with Israel, including 25 F-35 and 25 F-15 fighter jets, to be singed the day before the ICJ delivered their preliminary verdict.
