Protesters chant anti Israel slogans and carry posters with pictures of Palestinian journalists Anas al-Sharif and Mohamed Qreiqeh that Israel’s military targeted and killed with an air strike late Sunday in Gaza, during a protest in Ramallah

HUMAN rights groups vowed today to file a joint complaint  the International Criminal Court (ICC) over the killing of five journalists in an Israeli air strike in the Gaza Strip at the weekend.

Sunday’s attack hit a media tent outside the main gate of al-Shifa hospital in Gaza City, killing Anas al-Sharif, 28, Mohammed Qreiqeh, 33, Ibrahim Zaher, 25, Mohammed Noufal, 29, and Moamen Aliwa, 23. 

Two other Palestinians were also killed.

Gaza’s government media office says at least 238 journalists have been killed since Israel’s war on Gaza began in 2023.

The Hind Rajab Foundation (HRF) and the Palestinian Centre for Human Rights accused those responsible of war crimes and genocide, calling for arrest warrants to be issued and for all killings of journalists in Gaza to be included in the ICC Palestine investigation.

“The evidence is there,” the HRF said. “The legal foundation is unshakable. The jurisdiction is established beyond question. 

“What remains is for the [ICC] to move past statements of ‘grave concern’ and take the decisive step that justice demands: act.”

He calls for people to stop obstructing his genocide for Israel.

Experiencing issues with this image not appearing. I suspect because it's so critical of Zionist Keir Starmer's support of and complicity in Israel's genocides.

Palestine Action co-founder accuses ministers of making defamatory claims

Huda Ammori says No 10’s allegations go against its own intelligence assessments, as pressure grows over mass arrests

The number of people arrested for peaceful protests, together with the images of older people being led away and the demands placed on the criminal justice system, have led many to call into question the criminalisation of so many people.

On Monday, a Downing Street spokesperson responded by saying Palestine Action, which last month became the first direct action protest group to be banned, was “a violent organisation that has committed violence, significant injury, extensive criminal damage”.

The home secretary, Yvette Cooper, told the BBC that Palestine Action “is not a non-violent organisation” and claimed that court restrictions meant people “don’t know the full nature of this organisation”.

But Huda Ammori, co-founder of Palestine Action, said: “Yvette Cooper and No 10’s claim that Palestine Action is a violent organisation is false and defamatory and even disproven by the government’s own intelligence assessment of Palestine Action’s activities …

“It was revealed in court during my ongoing legal challenge to the ban that the Joint Terrorism Analysis Centre’s (JTAC’S) assessment acknowledges that ‘Palestine Action does not advocate for violence against persons’ and that the ‘majority’ of its activities ‘would not be classified as terrorism’.

“Spraying red paint on war planes is not terrorism. Disrupting Israel’s largest weapons manufacturer, Elbit Systems, by trespassing on their sites in Britain is not terrorism. It is the Israeli Defense Forces and all those who arm and enable their war crimes who are the terrorists.”

Starmer must expel Israeli ambassador, say Scottish Greens

 Israeli ambassador to Britain Tzipi Hotovely arrives at BBC Broadcasting House in London, to appear on the BBC One current affairs programme, Sunday with Laura Kuenssberg, June 15, 2025

SCOTTISH Greens have called for Sir Keir Starmer to expel Israeli ambassador Tzipi Hotovely as they renew their calls for an end to political and military support for the “genocidal assault on Gaza.”

The party’s co-leader Lorna Slater made the remarks after the Prime Minister urged the Netanyahu regime to “reconsider” the escalation of its attack on Gaza, despite his government supplying the Israelis with the military intelligence and armaments necessary to continue an operation which has so far cost tens of thousands of lives. 

She said: “The UK government has not been a detached observer in the genocide against Gaza, it has been an active participant.

“Urging restraint is not enough, the hypocrisy must end. The arms sales must stop and so must the military collaboration and political support that has gone with them.

“That must mean backing sanctions against Israeli forces and expelling the Israeli ambassador who has served as a mouthpiece for genocide.

“This has been a disgraceful chapter in UK foreign policy and has made the Prime Minister and his colleagues complicit in some of the worst war crimes of this century.”
