'Enough Is Enough': Ireland Joins ICJ Genocide Case Against Israel
Quick Glance: Ireland's Involvement in South Africa's Case Against Israel Regarding Gaza Invasion
  • The government of Ireland is planning to engage in the case initiated by South Africa against Israel under the Genocide Convention at the International Court of Justice (ICJ).

  • With the aim of prioritizing the protection of civilians in the interpretation of the convention, Ireland intends to submit a Declaration of Intervention under Article 63 of the Statute of the International Court of Justice.

  • After a thorough analysis and consultation, the government has decided to intervene in the case, condemning the violation of international law due to the events in Israel and Gaza.

  • The filing of the declaration will occur post-government approval and after South Africa has submitted its memorial. Ireland will collaborate with other partners to intervene.

War on Gaza: State Department official resigns over US support for Israel
Quick Glance: Resignation Due to US Support for Israel
  • A senior official at the State Department resigned in protest against the almost impossible promotion of human rights due to US support for Israel's war in Gaza.

  • Annelle Sheline, aged 38, announced her resignation while still in the middle of her two-year contract with the US Department of State as a foreign affairs officer in the Bureau of Democracy, Human Rights, and Labor.

  • Initially hesitant to publicly announce her resignation, Sheline was encouraged by colleagues opposing US support for Israel's actions in Gaza.

  • These resignations are the latest in a series of public protests against the Biden administration's support for Israel, leading to internal turmoil within the US State Department.

Quick Glance: Hezbollah's Retaliation Rocket Attack on Israel, Casualties Reported
  • An Israeli assault hit a health center in southern Lebanon; Hezbollah attacks have killed a man in an Israeli border town.

  • Hezbollah said it launched dozens of rockets at Kiryat Shmona, an Israeli border town, in response to Israeli strikes on Lebanon's southern village of al-Habbariyeh that killed seven people.

  • The Israeli military and Iran-aligned Hezbollah, an ally of Hamas, have been exchanging near-daily fire across the border since October when the current conflict in Gaza started.

  • Last month, Hezbollah's leader Hassan Nasrallah said Israel will pay a price 'in blood' for killing Lebanese civilians, signaling the conflict across the Lebanon-Israel border could intensify.

First Orthodox Jewish US Senator Joe Lieberman dies at 82
Quick Glance: Joe Lieberman, Former US Senator and Vice Presidential Candidate, Passes Away at 82
  • Former U.S. Senator Joe Lieberman from Connecticut, who came close to winning the vice presidency on the Democratic ticket with Al Gore in the disputed 2000 election and nearly became running mate to Republican John McCain eight years later, has passed away.

  • Lieberman passed away in New York City as a result of complications following a fall.

  • His advocacy for issues such as gay rights, civil rights, abortion rights, and environmental causes often earned him praise from many liberals, despite causing discontent among Democrats due to his independent stance and provocations towards Democratic presidential nominee Barack Obama during the 2008 campaign.

  • Renowned for his firm foreign policy perspectives, pro-defense inclinations, and robust support for environmental matters, Lieberman was instrumental in the legislative efforts leading to the establishment of the Department of Homeland Security.

Quick Glance: US Fails Resolution for Immediate Cease-Fire in Gaza
  • A U.S. effort to increase political pressure on Israel failed in the UN Security Council as Russia and China vetoed it.

  • The resolution emphasized concerns about a ground offensive in Rafah and criticized the humanitarian toll of Israel's offensive.

  • However, the resolution linked a cease-fire to the release of hostages in Gaza, a stance supported by Israel.

  • US officials aim to persuade Israel for an alternative approach in Rafah to minimize civilian casualties, as a summit in Washington is planned.
