Irish Parliament Moves to Ban Import of Zionist Settlement Goods
The Irish Parliament is preparing to pass the 'Settlements Bill,' which would ban the import of goods produced in settlements located in the West Bank, East Quds, and the Golan Heights.
According to the Palestinian Ma'an News Agency, if approved, Ireland would become the first European country to enact such legislation.
Ireland is considered a leading nation in supporting the Palestinian cause and is known for its stance opposing the Zionist enemy within the European Union.
Veteran Republican Senator Lindsey Graham tweeted last night: 'I hope Ireland reconsiders its efforts to economically isolate Israel.'

Brazil nears joining Gaza genocide case at ICJ
Brasília - Saba: The Brazilian Foreign Ministry announced on Wednesday that it is in the final stages of submitting a formal request to join the genocide case against Israel at the International Court of Justice (ICJ) regarding its military actions in the Gaza Strip. In a statement cited by Quds Press, the ministry stressed that the ongoing atrocities in Gaza cannot be met with international silence. It emphasized that the global community must not remain idle in the face of violations against civilians in the besieged enclave. Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva stated on Tuesday that Israel is committing "genocide" in Gaza, clarifying that the situation is "not a war" but rather a systematic killing of civilians, particularly women and children. Latin American Nations Join South Africa's Case Five Latin American countries have successively joined the lawsuit filed by South Africa at the ICJ, accusing Israel of committing genocide against Palestinian civilians in Gaza during its continuous aggression since October 7, 2023. - Nicaragua was the first Latin American country to take this step, formally submitting a request to the court on February 16, 2024, to join as a "third party." It argued that Israel's actions in Gaza violate the 1948 Genocide Convention and called for accountability. - Colombia filed a similar request on April 5, 2024, stating its aim was to "defend the Palestinian people's right to life and dignity" and ensure accountability for crimes against civilians. - Chile submitted its formal request on September 13, 2024, following President Gabriel Boric's announcement in June that Chile would support South Africa's legal efforts, calling Gaza's humanitarian tragedy a matter requiring decisive legal action. - Bolivia officially joined the case on October 9, 2024, expressing full support for legal measures to hold Israel accountable. - Cuba intervened on January 13, 2025, submitting a declaration in support of South Africa's call for accountability over "grave and systematic violations of international humanitarian law." Brazil is now set to become the sixth Latin American country to join the case. ICJ's Provisional Measures On January 26, 2024, the ICJ issued provisional measures ordering Israel to take all possible steps to prevent acts of genocide in Gaza, including ensuring humanitarian aid access and preventing incitement to hatred. While the court has not yet ruled on the case's merits, it found South Africa's claims "plausible enough" to warrant urgent measures—a legal basis that prompted multiple countries to intervene. South Africa filed the lawsuit on December 29, 2023, accusing Israel of violating the Genocide Convention through its military operations in Gaza, which have killed tens of thousands of civilians, mostly women and children.

Hamas: Knesset vote imposing "Sovereignty" iver West Bank is void & illegitimate
Gaza - Saba: The Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas) emphasized on Wednesday evening that the Zionist Knesset's vote on a draft resolution to impose "sovereignty" over the occupied West Bank—paving the way for its annexation—is a void and illegitimate measure that will not alter the identity of the Palestinian land. In a press statement received by the Yemeni News Agency (SABA), Hamas stated that "this measure constitutes a challenge to international laws and resolutions and is an extension of the widespread violations committed by the enemy government in the occupied West Bank, including land theft, settlement expansion, and campaigns of killing, arrest, and repression against the Palestinian people." The movement called on "the masses of the Palestinian people in the occupied West Bank and their active forces to unite, stand together, and escalate resistance in all forms to thwart the schemes of the fascist Zionist enemy." It also urged the "international community and the United Nations to condemn this illegitimate move and put an end to the enemy's recklessness, fascist policies, and ongoing violations of our Palestinian people's rights, which pour oil on the fire and escalate tensions in the region."

Popular Front for Liberation of Palestine: Imposing sovereignty over West Bank is dangerous escalation , part of settlement & judaization schemes
Beirut – Saba: The Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP) stated on Wednesday evening that "the decision by the enemy's parliament, the Knesset, to pass a proposal with a majority of 71 votes endorsing the imposition of sovereignty over the West Bank and the Jordan Valley represents a dangerous escalation and an integral part of the occupation's schemes to settle, Judaize, and displace the Palestinian population." In a statement received by the Yemeni News Agency (SABA), the PFLP emphasized that "the Israeli enemy already exercises full control over the land and commits all forms of crimes, from ethnic cleansing and destruction of infrastructure to land seizures across the West Bank, while allowing settler militias to carry out every kind of crime against our people, their villages, cities, and agricultural lands." The statement added, "However, formalizing this step legally reinforces the occupation, entrenches its presence, expands its settlement and Judaization project, and confines our people to isolated enclaves as a prelude to forced displacement." The PFLP affirmed that "unity and resistance are the only means to confront this dangerous scheme, which is no less severe than the genocidal crimes the occupation is committing in Gaza."
