poland, gaza, west bank, yemen - Protests erupt in Poland as hundreds demand the arrest of Israeli Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu over the Gaza crisis, following threats made against Yemeni Husis and recent attacks on Palestinian farmers.
Recent events in Poland have escalated tensions as protests erupted over the presence of Israeli Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu at the 80th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz concentration camp ceremonies in Poland.
Hundreds gathered outside the Presidential Palace to demand action against Netanyahu for his role in the Gaza crisis, shouting slogans calling for his arrest and condemning the protection provided to him by Polish officials.
Meanwhile, in the West Bank, Israeli settlers continue to provoke by attacking Palestinian farmers in the Jordan Valley, cutting down olive trees and claiming the land as military zones.
Internationally, the former President of the International Criminal Court, Piotr Hofmanski, emphasized the legal basis for a potential arrest warrant against Netanyahu, highlighting the need for states to comply with ICC obligations.
Netanyahu responded to the escalating tensions by reiterating his strong stance against the Husis in Yemen, warning of continued consequences for their aggressive actions.
