Israel-Hezbollah War: ICC issues arrest warrant against Israel PM Netanyahu

Israel-Hezbollah War: ICC issues arrest warrant against Israel PM Netanyahu

Amid the ongoing Israel-Hezbollah war, International Criminal Court’s decision has sent shockwaves. In a major blow to Netanyahu, the International Criminal Court issued an arrest warrant against him on November 21, 2024. Notably, Israel’s ex defence chief, as well as a Hamas leader, Ibrahim Al-Masri, were included in the warrant for alleged war crimes and crimes against humanity. The decision was met with an outrage in Israel, where Benjamin Netanyahu’s supporters expressed their disappointment on ICC warrant.  Netanyahu`s office said the ICC decision was "anti-semitic" and he will "not yield to pressure, will not be deterred" until Israel`s war objectives are met. The EU`s foreign policy chief, Josep Borrell, said the decision was not a political one but made by a court and thus should be respected and implemented. Notably, Israel`s 13-month campaign in Gaza has killed about 44,000 Palestinians and displaced nearly all the enclave`s population, Gaza officials say.... [Read More]

Pakistan Gun Attack: Gunmen target passenger convoy, 36 people lose lives

Pakistan Gun Attack: Gunmen target passenger convoy, 36 people lose lives

In another terror attack within Pakistan, 36 people lost their lives and 29 were left wounded in northwestern Pakistan’s Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province. Gunmen opened fire on passenger vehicles in a tribal area, claiming lives of several people, in which the death toll is likely to rise. Officials have confirmed that the gunmen targeted passenger vans travelling from Parachinar in Kurram in a convoy. Notably, no terror groups have claimed the responsibility of the major attack, that leaves the officials in despair. A recent surge has been observed in the violent and terror attacks in the Balochistan and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa region of Pakistan. Earlier on November 19, 12 Pakistan soldiers were killed in a suicide bombing incident by Islamist militants. The attack occurred in the northwest Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province when militants rammed an explosives-laden vehicle on a wall of a military outpost. Notably, the province, which borders Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, is critical to Chinese Belt and Road projects and has recently seen a spike in attacks.... [Read More]
