Israel’s wanted war criminal Netanyahu joins Gaza ‘board of peace’
Netanyahu’s participation, despite an ICC warrant seeking his arrest for war crimes in Gaza, will add to concerns over the objectivity of the board.

Israeli ‍Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu ⁠has accepted an invitation from United States ​President Donald ‍Trump to join the “board of ⁠peace“.

The Israeli leader’s office announced on social media on Wednesday that Netanyahu is to join the initiative, despite the International Criminal Court (ICC) having issued a warrant for his arrest for war crimes in Gaza.

The so-called board of peace was unveiled as part of phase two of the ceasefire agreement with Hamas to end Israel’s genocidal war on Gaza.

Numerous world leaders have been invited to join the body, which Trump envisages would oversee “governance capacity-building, regional relations, reconstruction, investment attraction, large-scale funding, and capital mobilisation” in the enclave.

Netanyahu’s acceptance of a place on the board comes despite his office having earlier criticised the makeup of the executive committee, which includes Israel’s regional rival, Turkiye.

Meanwhile, the Israeli leader’s participation – despite the ICC warrant issued in 2023 that accuses him of overseeing crimes against humanity in Gaza – will add to concerns over the objectivity of the board, which Trump will lead while maintaining control of its lineup.

Bid for UK sanctions against Benjamin Netanyahu in 'UK first'

LEGAL documents have been filed with the UK Government calling for sanctions against Benjamin Netanyahu.

The Israeli prime minister, the subject of an international arrest warrant for war crimes , was responsible for comments which “amounted to incitement to commit genocide” in Gaza, according to the filing by the Arab Organisation for Human Rights UK (AOHR UK).

The request, lodged by lawyers from Deighton Pierce Glynn with the Foreign Office on Tuesday, said that Netanyahu should face financial sanctions and a travel ban.

It is thought to be the first request of its kind filled against the sitting Israeli premier.

Netanyahu would be arrested if he were to step foot on UK soil, the UK Government has previously indicated.

Britain has already imposed sanctions against finance minister Bezalel Smotrich and Itamar Ben-Gvir, the Israeli security minister.

The request focuses on Netanyahu’s personal responsibility as head of the Israeli government and ultimate decision-maker, citing command responsibility, incitement to violence and genocide against Palestinians, and involvement in serious violations of international law.

Netanyahu to Skip Trump’s ‘Board of Peace’ Signing in Davos Fearing ICC Arrest Warrant

Davos (QNN)- Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will not attend the inauguration ceremony of Trump's "Board of Peace" on Thursday at the World Economic Forum in Davos. His absence follows Switzerland’s announcement that it is legally obliged to cooperate with the International Criminal Court over an arrest warrant issued against him for war crimes he committed in Gaza, reported Haaretz.

Switzerland’s Federal Office of Justice told the Israeli newspaper that, as a party to the Rome Statute, it must cooperate with the ICC. The office said Swiss authorities would be required to arrest any person subject to an ICC warrant if they entered the country and to begin surrender procedures to the court.

The ICC arrest warrant states that Netanyahu is responsibile for war crimes and crimes against humanity against Palestinians in Gaza. These include starvation as a method of warfare, deliberate attacks on civilians, murder, persecution, and other inhumane acts. The crimes cover the period from at least October 8, 2023, to at least May 20, 2024.

Despite Netanyahu’s absence, his office confirmed that Israel will join US President Donald Trump’s so-called "Board of Peace". The White House announced the initiative last week, with its official launch set to take place during the World Economic Forum, where member states are expected to sign the board’s charter.

The charter suggests Trump is positioning the "Board of Peace" as a rival to the United Nations. While it was initially presented as a framework for managing Gaza’s reconstruction, the document does not mention Gaza by name. Instead, it says the board aims to restore “lawful governance” and ensure “enduring peace” in conflict zones, while implicitly criticizing existing international bodies.

So far, around sixty countries have received invitations to join the Board of Peace. In the Middle East, the United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Morocco, Jordan, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, and Turkey have confirmed their participation.

US immigration thugs escalate terror campaign, as sentiment for Minneapolis general strike grows among workers

On Sunday night it was revealed that a man living in Minneapolis who was kidnapped by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) thugs on January 6 died on January 14 at the Camp East Montana concentration camp in El Paso, Texas. Multiple outlets reported that Victor Manuel Diaz, 36, from Nicaragua, was found unconscious and unresponsive at the facility last week.

Diaz is at least the third person to die at the sprawling tent camp in south Texas in the last month and a half. On January 3, ICE announced that Geraldo Lunas Campos died at the same facility after “staff observed him in distress.” This purposefully vague statement was aimed at concealing the fact that Lunas Campos died after he was attacked by guards at the facility.

Last week, the Washington Post reported that the El Paso County Office of the Medical Examiner was likely to classify Lunas Campos’ death as a “homicide,” with the preliminary cause of death being “asphyxia due to neck and chest compression.” That is, Lunas Campos did not receive enough oxygen because severe pressure was being applied to his neck and chest.

Santos Jesus Flores, a witness to the incident, told the paper he saw at least five guards fighting with Lunas Campos after the latter refused to enter a segregated cell without his medication. Flores told the Post he saw guards choking the father of three and that he heard Lunas Campos scream, “No puedo respirar,” Spanish for “I can’t breathe,” before falling unconscious.

“He said, ‘I cannot breathe, I cannot breathe.’ After that, we don’t hear his voice anymore and that’s it,” Flores said.

In the first 19 days of 2026, at least six people have already died while in the custody of ICE. These deaths are unfolding amid the ongoing federal occupation of Minnesota, where roughly 3,000 Department of Homeland Security (DHS) agents have been deployed to carry out mass raids and attacks on the working class as part of the Trump administration’s drive to establish a presidential dictatorship.

In addition to deaths in ICE custody, at least two people have been shot by immigration thugs in Minnesota since the start of the year, including the murder of Renée Nicole Good on January 7 by DHS agent Jonathan Ross. As social opposition mounts, Trump has repeatedly threatened to invoke the InsurrePost too long. Click here to view the full text.

>>493886
Does this mean Iran can finally destroy Diego Garcia or could they already reach that with their other missiles?

>>493888
If I had to guess, they could probably already reach it. I could be wrong. I think the primary use of these would be hitting the US directly in response to further aggression.
I'm also not 100% sure that this was actually the first ICBM they've tested - they may or may not have tested one on "Israel" last June (picrel).

Israeli military-grade bullets found in bodies of children killed during Iran riots
——
TASS reported on 21 January that Israeli military-grade bullets were found in the body of an 8-year-old girl killed during unrest in Iran, citing a source within Iranian security structures. According to the source, the child, from Isfahan, was fatally shot while out shopping with her family during recent protests. Forensic examinations reportedly identified the bullets recovered from her body as Israeli military-grade ammunition.

Separately, days earlier, Iranian state media reported that forensic tests in several cases found victims were killed with 7.63mm Tokarev bullets, a rare Soviet-era caliber not used by Iran’s armed forces. The ammunition is known for its unusually high power, causing more severe injuries than standard 9mm rounds. According to sources cited by state media, even in ordinary criminal cases this type of bullet is virtually unseen in Iran, also supporting the claim that armed elements involved in the violence had significant foreign backing.

Iran’s foreign minister issues warning to US: Tehran will 'fire back with everything we have' if attacked
——
Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi issued his strongest warning yet to the US, saying the Islamic Republic would respond fully if it comes under renewed attack. The statement, made in an opinion piece in The Wall Street Journal, comes as a US aircraft carrier group and other military assets redeploy toward West Asia.

Araghchi referenced the 12-day war launched by Israel in June 2025, stressing that Iran’s armed forces now have no qualms about defending the country.

“Unlike the restraint Iran showed in June 2025, our powerful armed forces have no qualms about firing back with everything we have if we come under renewed attack,” Araghchi wrote, referring to the 12-day war launched by Israel on Iran in June. “This isn’t a threat, but a reality I feel I need to convey explicitly," he wrote.

No idea what happened there.

That does seem bizarre, frankly.

There's a Newsweek article from the 13th saying that the bodies were supposed to go on public display.

The Cuban government has announced official funeral honors and a public display of the remains of 32 Cuban military personnel killed during the January 3 operation in the Venezuelan capital, Caracas, Cuba’s Communist Party newspaper Granma reported on Monday evening.

The public funeral arrangements will include a "March of the Fighting People" on Tuesday morning, it said.

Cuba released names and images of the deceased las[t] week, when national mourning was declared nationwide across Cuba.

>>493653
1. Arm.
2. Arm more.
3. Arm as much as possible.
4. Arm enough that you could equip others if need be.
5. Do you have land? Keep it. Figure out how many others can stay on it if need be.
6. Do you not have land? Look for a place you can potentially go if you need to.
7. Figure out where all the munitions plants, munitions plants offices, logistics centers, etc. near you are.
8. Check them out. Take note of their entrances, exits, security, etc.
9. Quick, targeted strikes when they are unguarded or least guarded.
10. Repeat as many times as possible.

The system has more vulnerabilities than it does guards.

You can also map out your local area in relation to where the nearest national guard will most likely be coming from. Figure out the roads they are most likely to take in order to get to you, or to the nearest city, quickly. Mark maps on paper. Prepare for when they come.

EU lawmakers vote to launch legal challenge to Mercosur trade deal

BRUSSELS, Jan 21 (Reuters) - EU lawmakers voted on Wednesday to challenge the European Union's contentious free trade agreement with South America in the bloc's top court, a move that could delay the deal by two years and potentially derail it.

The European Union signed its largest-ever trade pact with Mercosur members Argentina, Brazil, Paraguay and Uruguay on Saturday. The agreement still requires approval before it can take effect.

Opponents, led by France - the EU's largest agricultural producer - say the deal will sharply increase imports of cheap beef, sugar and poultry, undercutting domestic farmers who have staged repeated protests.

LEGAL CHALLENGE

A group of 144 lawmakers put forward a parliamentary motion to ask the EU Court of Justice to rule on whether the agreement can be applied before full ratification by all member states and whether its provisions restrict the EU's ability to set environmental and consumer health policies. The court typically takes around two years to deliver such opinions.

The European Parliament backed the motion with 334 votes in favour to 324 against, with 11 abstentions.
If referred to the court, the EU could still apply the pact provisionally pending the ruling and parliamentary approval. But doing so could prove politically difficult given the likely backlash, and the European Parliament would retain the power to annul it later.
