Germany has stepped back from its earlier pledge to support Israel at the International Court of Justice (ICJ) in the Gaza genocide case, in a significant shift from its position when South Africa first brought proceedings in 2023. A German foreign ministry spokesperson said this week that Berlin will not intervene on Israel’s behalf in the case at The Hague, despite having announced in January 2024 that it would support Israel and rejecting South Africa’s allegations as unfounded. The move marks a notable change in Germany’s public position. When South Africa filed its case accusing Israel of violating the Genocide Convention through its military assault on Gaza, Berlin was among the first Western governments to rally behind Israel, arguing that the accusation of genocide had “no basis”. According to the foreign ministry, Germany’s decision is tied to its own legal difficulties at the ICJ. Berlin is itself defending a separate case brought by Nicaragua, which accuses Germany of violating international law, including the Genocide Convention, through its political, military and financial support for Israel’s Gaza genocide. That case has already exposed Germany to growing scrutiny over its arms exports to Israel and its suspension of funding to the United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA). Although the ICJ declined in 2024 to order emergency measures against Berlin, it allowed Nicaragua’s case to proceed, leaving Germany to continue defending its conduct before the court. Berlin has not said that it now accepts South Africa’s genocide allegations against Israel, and German officials have continued to reject claims made against Germany in the Nicaragua case. But its decision not to formally join Israel’s defence is likely to be read as an attempt to avoid further legal and political exposure as international pressure mounts over Israel’s Gaza genocide and Germany’s complicity. middleeastmonitor.com/20260319-germa…

Switzerland on Thursday condemned a recent surge in violence in the West Bank, saying attacks by "extremist settlers" are undermining stability and prospects for peace, Anadolu reports. In a statement posted through US social media company X, the Middle East and North Africa division of the Swiss Federal Department of Foreign Affairs said seven Palestinians have been killed since Feb. 28 in what it described as settler attacks targeting communities. Switzerland said the violence risks further escalation and weakens efforts toward a two-state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. It called on Israel to protect civilians, ensure accountability for those responsible, and uphold international law. The statement reflects growing international concern over continuous killings by illegal settlers in the West Bank amid the ongoing armed conflict in the region. Since the start of the Gaza war on Oct. 8, 2023, attacks by Israeli forces and illegal settlers in the West Bank have killed 1,133 Palestinians, injured about 11,700 others, and led to the arrest of roughly 22,000 people. The US and Israel have continued a joint offensive on Iran since Feb. 28, killing so far more than 1,200 people, including then-Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei. Iran has retaliated with drone and missile strikes targeting Israel, Jordan, Iraq, and Gulf countries hosting US military assets. middleeastmonitor.com/20260319-switz…

Al Jazeera analyst delivers a brutal reality check: No one supports this war except Israel. He exposes how US imperial wars and regime change operations directly created Al Qaeda and ISIS, warning this new disaster will breed even more global instability.

Massive revelation. Israel intentionally assassinated Iranian negotiator Ali Larijani to sabotage a peace deal. Then they blew up Qatar's natural gas facilities to lock the US into a permanent regional war. They are destroying the world.

Martyr Ali Larijani recounts a meeting with Henry Kissinger, where Kissinger stated that after World War II the map of the region was drawn and states were assigned their place, with only two exceptions left outside full control: Iran and Egypt. Larijani describes rejecting the premise of a “strategic relationship,” framing Iran as a civilizational actor that resisted incorporation into that post-war order and continues to operate beyond it.

In a recent interview on The David Hearst Podcast, Dr Mohamed ElBaradei, the former director-general of the International Atomic Energy Agency, spoke about Iran’s security chief, Ali Larijani, who was recently killed in an Israeli strike. ElBaradei characterised Larijani as both a hardliner and a pragmatist, noting his capacity for serious philosophical reflection and effective negotiation. The full episode of The David Hearst Podcast featuring Dr Mohamed ElBaradei will be available soon on Middle East Eye’s platforms

@Al7rbiO @alijahied @grok Keep focusing on the method of the prayer🤦🏻‍♀️

@alijahied @grok هل المقطع صحيح وكيف هي طريقة صلاته

صلاة مميزة في قصر الكرملين #الشهيد_علي_لاريجاني

A prayer in the Kremlin Palace

@doctor_rahmeh This city is called "Al Khalisa"; it was ethnically cleansed, plundered, and robbed, and the city was given another name. In shaa Allah, One day Thikryat shmona (not kryiat shmona) will be called.

native Emiratis are only 12% of the entire population If the UAE is going to declare war on Iran, are they going to draft tourists into the military?

We apologize to the Americans! - for establishing our country in the middle of your military bases; - for refusing to remain silent — unlike others — in the face of genocide in #GazaSOS ; - for our girls' school happening to lie in the path of your missiles... - ... #Iran

@Middle_east7 @simbalkh There are over 92 million Iranians. It is an educated, high civilized & fiercely independent nation. You can’t defeat it by cowardly assassinations. They don’t fear death like many do. Faith drives them. When one is martyred another steps up. The spirit of Karbala permeates them

WATCH: Iranian missile in the sky over Jerusalem, heading towards the targets in central Israel.

The name of the F-35 fighter jet was changed to OFF-35 😂🤣 #F35 #OFF35 #Iran

So @FIFAcom, you’re hosting the World Cup in a country whose president just threatened the lives & safety of the players of one of the teams that have qualified for the tournament. This Goebbelsian pantomime MUST END NOW!!!!

امروز رفتم بهشت زهرا تا به دو عموی شهیدم سر بزنم. بعد رسیدم سر این قبر جدید، نشستم و یه سیگار روشن کردم. آخر داستان جای ما اینجاست. دعا کردم که وطن فروش و کافر از این دنیا نرم. به شهدا قول دادم که پای ایران باشم و از مملکت و مردم دفاع کنم.

@PSourceIran @PariGoli_ Well he/she is american. Quite self explanatory on the dumbness spectrum 🇺🇸 🤯👎

@PariGoli_ Jesus Christ, You really are fucking stupid.

Feeding the beautiful cats of Tehran every night, while American and Israeli jets are in the sky. During war, it's obligatory to feed and protect innocrnt animals.

@PariGoli_ No such law exists. Plenty of people including my family have dogs in Iran. Stop lying. If you lived in Tehran you would know that. We literally have a dogs park in Northern Tehran; Velenjak.
