UK Joins US to Create Sea Route to Get URGENT Aid From Cyprus Into Gaza
UK Aids US Building Port to Get Aid From Cyprus Into Gaza
UK joining US to create sea route for Gaza aid. Forces would build a temporary port in Gaza to get aid into the territory directly.
US, Belgium, Egypt, France and the Netherlands were also involved in recent airdrops which KILLED five. Plans to get aid into Gaza by sea gain pace as airdrop mishap kills five
MailOnline 9 MAR 2024
The UK will join the US and other allies to create a maritime corridor to deliver aid directly to Gaza, the Foreign Secretary has said.
US President Joe Biden used his State of the Union address on Thursday to announce that American troops would establish a temporary port on the Gaza coast aimed at increasing the flow of aid into the territory.
The move follows mounting concern about the level of aid getting into Gaza over land, with international bodies warning of an impending famine if current restrictions continue.
Lord Cameron on Friday said the UK would be working with the US to provide aid by sea.
He tweeted: “People in Gaza are in desperate humanitarian need.
“Alongside the US, the UK and partners have announced we will open a maritime corridor to deliver aid directly to Gaza.
“We continue to urge Israel to allow more trucks into Gaza as the fastest way to get aid to those who need it.”
The temporary harbour “will take months to stand up”, Lord Cameron said, as he urged Israel to “promise today” to open its functioning Ashdod Port in the meantime to where aid could be shipped from Cyprus and driven into Gaza.
He told BBC Radio 4’s World At One programme it was “incredibly frustrating” Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was not heeding calls to open more crossing points, allow more UN staff into Gaza and switch on water and electricity in the territory.
The UK will rule “in the coming days” if Israel is breaking international humanitarian law, according to the Foreign Secretary, who said the judgment would dictate whether Britain stops arms sales to the country.
The UK contribution to the maritime corridor is not expected to involve the deployment of British personnel.
Downing Street said on Friday the UK had been involved in planning and surveying for the pontoon and would now be “working with partners to operationalise our maritime aid corridor from Cyprus”.
In a joint statement with the US, the European Commission, the UAE and Cyprus, the UK described the situation in Gaza as “dire”.
According to the statement, Cyprus had taken the lead on establishing a mechanism for sending aid to Gaza by sea securely, which the partners would now build on to deliver “significant aid”, working in conjunction with the UN’s senior humanitarian and reconstruction co-ordinator for Gaza.
The statement said: “The delivery of humanitarian assistance directly to Gaza by sea will be complex, and our nations will continue to assess and adjust our efforts to ensure we deliver aid as effectively as possible. “This maritime corridor can, and must, be part of a sustained effort to increase the flow of humanitarian aid and commercial commodities into Gaza through all possible routes.

Gaza Medics Tell BBC Israeli Troops Stripped Beat Tortured and Humiliated Them After Hospital Raid
Palestinian medical staff in Gaza have told the BBC they were blindfolded, detained, forced to strip and repeatedly beaten by Israeli troops after a raid at their hospital last month.
BBC 12 MAR 2024
Ahmed Abu Sabha, a doctor at Nasser hospital, described being held for a week in detention, where, he said, muzzled dogs were set upon him and his hand was broken by an Israeli soldier.
His account closely matches those of two other medics who wanted to remain anonymous for fear of reprisals.
They told the BBC they were humiliated, beaten, doused with cold water, and forced to kneel in uncomfortable positions for hours. They said they were detained for days before being released.
The BBC supplied details of their allegations to the Israel Defense Forces (IDF). They did not respond directly to questions about these accounts, or deny specific claims of mistreatment. But they denied that medical staff were harmed during their operation.
They said that "any abuse of detainees is contrary to IDF orders and is therefore strictly prohibited".
The IDF raided the hospital in the southern Gazan city of Khan Younis - which was one of the few in the Strip still functioning - on 15 February, saying intelligence indicated that the hospital housed Hamas operatives.
They also said Israeli hostages taken by Hamas on 7 October had been held there - and some of the hostages themselves have publicly said they were kept at Nasser. Hamas has denied that its fighters operate inside medical facilities.
Footage secretly filmed in the hospital on 16 February, the day the medics were detained, was shared with the BBC.
It shows a row of men stripped to their underwear in front of the hospital's emergency building, kneeling with their hands behind their heads. Medical robes are lying in front of some of them.
"Anybody who tried to move his head or make any movement got hit," the hospital's general manager, Dr Atef Al-Hout, told the BBC. "They left them for around two hours in this shameful position."
The IDF told the BBC: "As a rule, during the arrest process, it is often necessary for terror suspects to hand over their clothes such that their clothes can be searched and to ensure that they are not concealing explosive vests or other weaponry.
"Clothes are not immediately returned to the detainees, due to the suspicion they may conceal means that can be used for hostile purposes (such as knives). Detainees are given back their clothes when it's possible to do so."
Medical staff said that they were then taken into a hospital building, beaten, and then transported to a detention facility, all while undressed.
Dr Abu Sabha, the 26-year-old newly qualified doctor and volunteer medic at Nasser, described some elements of his treatment while in detention as torture, such as making detainees stand for hours without a break. He said other punishments given to detainees included being made to lie on their stomach for prolonged periods and delaying their meals.
An expert in humanitarian law said the footage and the testimony from the medical staff interviewed by the BBC was "extremely concerning". He said some of the accounts provided to the BBC "very clearly cross over into the category of cruel and inhumane treatment".
Dr Lawrence Hill-Cawthorne, co-director of the Centre for International Law at the University of Bristol, said: "It goes against what has for a long time been a very fundamental idea in the law that applies in armed conflict, which is that hospitals and medical staff are protected."
"The fact that they treat nationals of the enemy side should not in any way undermine their protection," he said.
The BBC has been investigating the hospital's story for several weeks, speaking to doctors, nurses, pharmacists and displaced people camping in the courtyard. We have cross-checked details in these accounts.
We were given the names of 49 Nasser medical personnel said to have been detained. Of those, 26 were named by multiple sources, including medics on the ground, the Hamas-run health ministry, international groups, and the families of those missing.
The three medics who say they were detained and later released have not given their accounts publicly before. They include Dr Abu Sabha, who we interviewed twice. His story remained consistent, and we corroborated key parts of his account independently.
Families of five other medics at the hospital have told the BBC their loved ones are missing. In addition, the International Committee of the Red Cross has confirmed to the BBC that it has received dozens of phone calls from people who say family members, including medics, who were at Nasser, are now missing.
‘Without painkillers, we leave patients to scream for hours’
Medics who remained at Nasser say the IDF's operation at the hospital left them unable to care for patients. When the IDF took control, nearly 200 patients were being treated there, many of them "bedridden", including six inside the ICU, according to Dr Hout, the general manager.
Those staff allowed to remain have described being ordered to move seriously ill patients between buildings, being taken away from their duties to be interrogated, and assigned patients whose cases they were not trained to deal with, all as they worked in cramped, unsanitary conditions.
Multiple medics said that 13 patients died in the days after Israel's takeover.
They said many of those patients had died because of the conditions at the hospital, including a lack of electricity, water, and other essentials needed to keep Nasser running. We cannot independently verify this. A doctor shared photos of bodies in bags on beds that we have confirmed were taken in a ward at the hospital.
The IDF told the BBC that it had "provided the hospital with hundreds of food rations and an alternative generator that enabled it to continue functioning and treat the patients within it".
The "essential systems" of the hospital kept functioning during the IDF's operation on an uninterruptible power supply system, it said.
On 18 February, the World Health Organization (WHO) said the hospital was short of food and basic medical supplies, and had ceased to function. The remaining patients were sent to other hospitals around Gaza and the medical staff who worked there left shortly afterwards.
Doctor: 'I thought I was going to be executed'
Released detainees and other medics told the BBC that the maternity building, called Mubarak, became the place where the IDF interrogated and beat staff. Dr Abu Sabha said he was initially picked to stay with patients after the raid, but was later taken to Mubarak, which he said had become "more like a torture place".
"They put me on a chair and it was like a gallows," he said. "I heard sounds of ropes, so I thought I was going to be executed.
"After that they broke a bottle and it [the glass] cut my leg and they left it to bleed. Then they started bringing doctor after doctor in and started putting them next to each other. I was hearing their names and their voices."
The IDF told the BBC it "does not and has not carried out mock executions of detainees, and rejects such claims".

All three of the detainees the BBC spoke to said they were crammed onto military vehicles and beaten as they were transported in a large group. Soldiers beat them with sticks, hoses, rifle butts and fists, they said.
"We were naked. Just wearing boxers. They piled us on top of each other. And they took us out of Gaza," one of the medics who wanted to remain anonymous said. "All along the way we were being hit and sworn at and humiliated. And they poured cold water on us".
Dr Abu Sabha said that during the journey, soldiers took the detainees out of the vehicle. "They took us to a patch of ground covered in gravel, forced us to kneel down and our eyes blind-folded… There was a pit in the ground, and we thought they would execute us and bury us here. We all started prayers."
He was then driven to a building where he and the other detainees with him would be held, he said.
The two other released detainees said that at some stage they were given medical checks but no medication. One said that instead of getting treatment for an injury, an IDF soldier hit him where he was injured.

UK airdropped food into Gaza for first time 4 days ago as Defence Secretary urges Israel to allow in more aid
AP 31 MAR 2024
The Royal Air Force parachuted more than 10 tonnes of aid, including rice, flour, oil, baby food, tinned goods and water to civilians on Good Friday.
Around 150 tonnes of UK aid, including more than 13,000 blankets and 840 family-sized tents, have already entered Gaza
As part of a three-ship convoy carrying 400 tonnes of food and other supplies to starving Palestinians in Gaza left a port in Cyprus on Saturday as concerns mount about hunger in the territory.
A charity said the vessels and a barge were carrying enough ready-to-eat items, including rice, pasta, flour, legumes, canned vegetables and proteins, to prepare more than 1 million meals. Also on board were dates, which are traditionally eaten to break the daily fast during the holy month of Ramadan.
It is the second shipment this month, after Israel eased a 17-year naval blockade on the Gaza Strip to allow aid to enter the territory from Cyprus. It comes after the Cypriot authorities established, in cooperation with UK, a maritime corridor to facilitate the delivery of pre-screened cargo directly to Gaza.
Britain Has Already Set Up a Hospital Ship in Gaza

Meanwhile a health crisis looms, amid a failing water and sewage system. One way the UK can help: send our hospital ship RFA Argus to provide essential medical aid.
Approximately 11,000 Gazans were injured by Israel's bombing, shelling and sniping, while hospitals were destroyed. Some Israeli hospitals have offered to help treat the wounded, but most have been refused permits to enter Israel.
Just SKIN and BONE: The STARVING Gaza Children Kept in Incubators as UN Human Rights Chief Warns Israel is Guilty of War Crimes
The toddlers' frail, malnourished body scarcely twitched as she lay helplessly in an incubator chamber in the already-decimated Gaza hospital.
Egyptian side of the Rafah crossing show lines of trucks full of aid at a standstill, Israeli border guards WON'T let them through
Leila Jeneid, one of countless children who have passed through the doors of Kamal Adwan Hospital, in the north of the Gaza Strip, has suffered as a result of starvation and dehydration.
In a video clip, Leila can be seen quickly breathing in and out, desperate for a breath of fresh air in one of the 12 remaining hospitals in the besieged enclave.
The outline of her ribs, along with all her other bones, are visible through her pallid, paper-thin skin, which sits in stark contrast to the blue blanket underneath her that provides little comfort to the toddler, who is not old enough to comprehend the hellish suffering she is undergoing.
Her jaw is slack as she lies on her back inside the plastic cage of the incubator, barely able to move her arms and legs.
She can't keep her eyes open as medics at the hospital, which UN official Andrea De Domenico this week said was receiving 'about 15 malnourished children a day and is struggling to maintain services,' run tests to understand how to help her.
But it's food, water and proper rest she needs, all things that the whole enclave is desperately in need of, and all things that Israel has been accused of deliberately withholding from civilians in its bitter war against Hamas, which - according to a top UN human rights official - could amount to a war crime if proven.

Israel Lodges Proposal With UN For Dismantling of Palestinian Relief Agency
Aid officials warn that transferring Unrwa’s functions to other bodies with famine looming would be disastrous
Israelis Stage Largest Protest Since War Began to Increase Pressure on Netanyahu to GO -Even Though He's Hospitalized to Have Hernia Surgery
PLUS Michigan GOP Rep. Tim Walberg Says NUKE Gaza
The Guardian 1 APR 2024
Israel has given the UN a proposal to dismantle Unrwa, its relief agency in the Palestinian territories, and transfer its staff to a replacement agency to make large-scale food deliveries into Gaza, according to UN sources.
The proposal was presented late last week by the Israeli chief of the general staff, Lt Gen Herzi Halevi, to UN officials in Israel, who forwarded it to the organisation’s secretary general, António Guterres, on Saturday, sources familiar with the discussions said.
Unrwa was not involved in the talks as the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) have been refusing to deal with it since last Monday, on the basis of claims, so far unproven, of affiliations of some of the agency’s staff with Hamas or Islamic Jihad.
Israel insists it is prepared to allow large amounts of aid into Gaza and that the limiting factor is UN capacity. Its decision not to cooperate with Unrwa severely affects that capacity.
Details were vague of who would run any new agency under the scheme, or of who would provide security for its deliveries.
Unrwa, which has been supporting the Palestinian territories since 1950, has been shut out of conversations on its future existence despite being the largest humanitarian actor in the territory.
“Unrwa has not been systematically privy to conversations related to coordinating humanitarian aid in Gaza,” said the organisation’s director of external relations, Tamara Alrifai. Some UN officials see the Israeli plan as an attempt to portray the UN as unwilling to cooperate if there is famine in Gaza, which humanitarian organisations have warned is impending.
On Thursday the international court of justice, which is examining genocide charges against Israel, ordered the Israeli government to take “all necessary and effective measures” to ensure the large-scale delivery of aid to Gaza “in full cooperation with the United Nations”.
Some inside the UN, other aid agencies and human rights groups also see the Israeli proposal as the culmination of a long Israeli campaign to destroy Unrwa and take control.

“We shouldn’t be spending a dime on humanitarian aid,” Walberg said.

British Aid Worker Killed Alongside Two Other UK Volunteers in Israeli Air Strike on Gaza Food Convoy, Prompting Rishi Sunak FURY
James Henderson 33, from Penryn Cornwall was riding in a clearly marked aid convoy amid the strike. He is one of three British aid workers to have been killed by the IDF drone attack. John Chapman 57, who was born in Aylesbury Buckinghamshire. The BBC also reported the third Briton as James Kirby.
WCK said the workers – three Britons, a Palestinian, a Canadian, a Pole and an Australian – had been travelling in two armoured cars bearing the charity’s logo, and a “soft-skin vehicle”.
The Australian government named one of those killed as Zomi Frankcom, a 43-year-old Melbourne-born aid worker. It said it confirmed her death with “overwhelming sadness
The Polish victim was named by the country’s foreign minister as Damian Sobol.“Our brave compatriot, Damian Sobol from the city of Przemyśl helped those in need in Gaza, where a humanitarian crisis is taking place,”
Saif Issam Abu Taha, 25, was identified by relatives and hospital workers as the Palestinian aid worker killed.
His brother, Ahmed Abu Taha, confirmed he had worked for World Central Kitchen as a driver since the beginning of the year. “He was a dedicated young man,” his brother said.
On Tuesday, WCK named US-Canada dual citizen Jacob Flickinger as the final member of the group who was killed in the attack.
“Despite coordinating movements with the IDF, the convoy was hit as it was leaving the Deir al-Balah warehouse, where the team had unloaded more than 100 tonnes of humanitarian food aid brought to Gaza on the maritime route,” the charity said in a statement.
Israeli defence sources told Haaretz that the aid workers’ vehicles had been hit three times by missiles fired from a drone because of erroneous suspicions that a terrorist was travelling with the convoy.
Haaretz also reported that some of the passengers left their vehicle after it was hit by the first missile and climbed into another car, which was then hit by a second missile. The third car in the convoy, which approached to pick up the occupants of the second car, was hit by a third missile. The strike killed all of the WCK workers in the convoy.

UK Breach INT. Law Under GENOCIDE Convention
Three former supreme court justices, including the courts’ former president Lady Hale, are among more than 600 lawyers, academics and retired senior judges warning that the UK government is breaching international law by continuing to arm Israel.
In a letter to the prime minister, the signatories, who also include former court of appeal judges and more than 60 KCs, say that the present situation in Gaza is “catastrophic” and that given the international court of justice (ICJ) finding that there is a plausible risk of genocide being committed, the UK is legally obliged to act to prevent it.
Their letter adds further pressure on the UK government after three British citizens were killed in an Israeli strike on Monday.
The 17-page letter, which also amounts to a legal opinion, was sent on Wednesday evening and says:
“While we welcome the increasingly robust calls by your government for a cessation of fighting and the unobstructed entry to Gaza of humanitarian assistance, simultaneously to continue (to take two striking examples) the sale of weapons and weapons systems to Israel and to maintain threats of suspending UK aid to Unwra falls significantly short of your governments’ obligations under international law.”
US Arms Exports to Israel Must STOP Immediately
UN GENEVA (23 February 2024) – Any transfer of weapons or ammunition to Israel that would be used in Gaza is likely to violate international humanitarian law and must cease immediately, UN experts warned today.
“All States must ‘ensure respect’ for international humanitarian law by parties to an armed conflict, as required by 1949 Geneva Conventions and customary international law,” the experts said. “States must accordingly refrain from transferring any weapon or ammunition – or parts for them – if it is expected, given the facts or past patterns of behaviour, that they would be used to violate international law.”
“Such transfers are prohibited even if the exporting State does not intend the arms to be used in violation of the law – or does not know with certainty that they would be used in such a way – as long as there is a clear risk,” they said.
The experts welcomed the decision of a Dutch appeals court on 12 February 2024 ordering the Netherlands to halt the export of F-35 fighter jet parts to Israel. The court found that there was a “clear risk” that the parts would be used to commit or facilitate serious violations of international humanitarian law, as “there are many indications that Israel has violated the humanitarian law of war in a not insignificant number of cases”.
The Dutch court pointed to the extensive civilian casualties, including thousands of children; the destruction of 60% of civilian homes and extensive damage to hospitals, water and food supplies, schools and religious buildings; widespread severe hunger; and the displacement of 85% of Palestinians in Gaza. It also highlighted evidence of the prolific use of imprecise “dumb bombs”; deliberate, disproportionate and indiscriminate attacks; failures to warn civilians of attacks; and incriminating statements by Israeli commanders and soldiers.
Over 29,313 Palestinians have been killed and 69,333 injured in Gaza since 7 October 2023, the majority being women and children. “Israel has repeatedly failed to comply with international law,” the experts said.
The experts noted that States Parties to the Arms Trade Treaty have additional treaty obligations to deny arms exports if they “know” that the arms “would” be used to commit international crimes; or if there is an “overriding risk” that the arms transferred “could” be used to commit serious violations of international humanitarian law.
European Union member states are further bound by EU arms export control law.
“The need for an arms embargo on Israel is heightened by the International Court of Justices’ ruling on 26 January 2024 that there is a plausible risk of genocide in Gaza and the continuing serious harm to civilians since then”, the experts said. The Genocide Convention of 1948 requires States parties to employ all means reasonably available to them to prevent genocide in another state as far as possible. “This necessitates halting arms exports in the present circumstances”, the experts said.
The experts welcomed the suspension of arms transfers to Israel by Belgium, Italy, Spain, the Netherlands and the Japanese company Itochu Corporation. The European Union also recently discouraged arms exports to Israel.
The experts urged other States to immediately halt arms transfers to Israel, including export licenses and military aid. The United States and Germany are by far the largest arms exporters and shipments have increased since 7 October 2023. Other military exporters include France, the United Kingdom, Canada and Australia.
The experts noted that arms transfers to Hamas and other armed groups are also prohibited by international law, given their grave violations of international humanitarian law on 7 October 2023, including hostage-taking and subsequent indiscriminate rocket fire.
The duty to “ensure respect” for humanitarian law applies “in all circumstances”, including when Israel claims it is countering terrorism. Military intelligence must also not be shared where there is a clear risk that it would be used to violate international humanitarian law.
“State officials involved in arms exports may be individually criminally liable for aiding and abetting any war crimes, crimes against humanity or acts of genocide,” the experts said. “All States under the principle of universal jurisdiction, and the International Criminal Court, may be able to investigate and prosecute such crimes.”
The experts stressed that the duty to “ensure respect” additionally requires all States to do everything reasonably in their power to prevent and stop violations of international humanitarian law by Israel, particularly where a State has influence through its political, military, economic or other relations.

Commandos have already conducted reconnaissance along the Lebanese coastline ahead of a potential maritime rescue mission.
Tonight, speaking exclusively to the Mail, Defence Secretary Grant Shapps confirmed he 'stands ready' to assist any Britons trapped in the region.
The Foreign Office has already advised all UK citizens to leave Lebanon.
Tonight US National Security Council spokesman John Kirby said there remained a 'serious threat' of attack while it was reported that Iran had sent a message to Washington warning them against the involvement of US troops in the region.
Germany warned its citizens to leave Iran, saying that there was a risk both of a sudden escalation in Tehran's existing tensions with Israel and that Germans might be at risk of arbitrary arrest in the country.
"In the current tensions, especially between Israel and Iran, there is a risk of a sudden escalation," the Foreign Office wrote in a fresh travel warning issued on Friday. "It cannot be excluded that air, land and sea transport routes could be affected," it added.
"German citizens are at concrete risk of being arbitrarily arrested and interrogated and being given long prison sentences. Dual citizens with Iranian and German nationality are especially at risk," the Foreign Office said.

MailOnline 13 APR 2024
Iran has launched more than 100 drones and missiles to attack Israel that are set to hit within hours, after Israel announced it was closing all schools amid fears of an upcoming attack from the rogue state.
Dozens of drones were seen flying from Iran over neighbouring Iraq's Sulaymaniya province, according to three security sources. Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) said via state media that it had 'launched extensive drone strikes against targets in occupied territories.'
British maritime risk management firm Ambrey added that Yemen-based Houthis have begun firing UAVs towards Israel.
The IRGC added via state media: 'The aerospace unit of the Revolutionary Guards has attacked targets in Israel with dozens of drones and missiles in reaction to the Zionist regime's crimes, including the attack on the consulate section of Iran's embassy in Damascus and martyring our commanders and military advisers in Syria.'
It added that it was ordered to launch the drones and missiles by Iran's Supreme National Security Council, and was under the guidance of the General Staff of the Armed forces, which coordinated military activity.
Israel said tonight that its airspace was shutting down at 12:30am local time. Iraq also announced it was shutting down its airspace and suspending all air traffic on Saturday from 11:30pm local time to 5:30am tomorrow.

'Sad little man': TRUMP Mocked Online For Response to Iran Attack on Israel
Irans' massive aerial attack on Israel this weekend would not have happened if his administration had been in the White House, former president Donald Trump has said, as Israel warns the spike in hostilities is "not over yet."
"God bless the people of Israel, they're under attack right now," the former president and likely Republican presidential nominee said during a rally in Schnecksville, Pennsylvania, on Saturday. "The weakness that we've shown is unbelievable," Trump said. "It would not have happened if we were in office." He then posted clips of the rally and his comments to his Truth Social platform.
Iran launched a large-scale aerial attack on Israel overnight in the first direct strike from Tehran's territory into Israel in years of rumbling tensions.
Tehran said the assault was in retaliation for a strike it has blamed on Israel against the Iranian consulate in the Syrian capital, Damascus, at the start of this month. It killed several members of Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps. Israel has not claimed nor denied responsibility.
Former Trump supporter Joe Walsh, a former "Tea Party" GOP lawmaker who has since left the Republican party, had this to say about the post. "He’s such an ignorant, pathetic narcissist," he wrote. "He makes everything about him. What a sad little man he is."
Jeff Timmer, a former Michigan Republican Party executive director and outspoken Trump critic, issued a correction to Trump.
"Fun Fact: Iran attacked U.S. military sites in Iraq while Trump was president," Timmer wrote.
British journalist Anthony Davis had a simple reply to Trump:
"This happened because you were President, Sir," he wrote Saturday.
Popular account Angry Staffer wrote, "Shut the f--- up about how Israel wouldn't have been attacked if Trump were president.
Iran attacked US when Trump was president.
Trump Reacts To Irans’ Drone Attacks On Israel At Pennsylvania Campaign Rally
TRUMP responded AGAIN to Iran’s Saturday attack on Israel by reposting a 2018 all-caps tweet in which he threatened the president of Iran and said the US would not stand for “DEMENTED WORDS OF VIOLENCE & DEATH.”
“To Iranian President Rouhani: NEVER, EVER THREATEN THE UNITED STATES AGAIN OR YOU WILL SUFFER THE CONSEQUENCES THE LIKES OF WHICH FEW THROUGHOUT HISTORY HAVE EVER SUFFERED BEFORE. WE ARE NO LONGER A COUNTRY THAT WILL STAND FOR YOUR DEMENTED WORDS OF VIOLENCE & DEATH. BE CAUTIOUS!” read the 2018 tweet.

The UN also said there is ‘clear and convincing information’ of rape and sexualised torture being committed
Israeli Defence Forces (IDF) has been accused of beating Palestinians captured in Gaza, including UN staff, and subjecting them to extreme sexual violence.
Israeli soldiers allegedly held detainees in cages, deprived them of food, water and sleep and tortured them during interrogation.
A disturbing United Nations report was published on Tuesday following extensive interviews with Palestinian prisoners returning to Gaza.
It documents torture and humiliation faced by Palestinians of all ages, genders and backgrounds held in makeshift detention facilities across Israel.
But the claims are fiercely contested by Israel, which accuses the released prisoners of lying and claims many of those at UNRWA, the UN agency that supports Palestinian refugees, are complicit in Hamas terror.
