🚨 The International Court of Justice issued a decision deeming illegal the zionist entity's settlements in the West Bank and eastern Al-Quds, considering that they amount to "de facto annexation" and are a violation of the Geneva Convention. The ICJ noted that the zionist entity has accelerated settlement construction in the occupied West Bank with 24,000 new units, thus violating international law and creating an untenable living situation for Palestinians. The court called for the entity to stop all new settlement activities and for UN members not to recognize "israel's" presence in the West Bank and eastern Al-Quds. The court highlighted the zionist entity's exploitation of resources, prevention of entry of water to Palestinians, and transfer of settlers to Palestinian areas, noting that these contradict "international commitments." The ICJ viewed the zionist entity's practices against Palestinians as possibly amounting to "discrimination and apartheid." Zionist Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich called for annexing the entire West Bank after the decision, while "National Security Minister" Itamar Ben-Gvir called the decision anti-Semitic.

Moscow’s symbolic ‘Parade of the Vanquished’ German generals & soldiers in WWII marks 80th anniversary Eighty years ago, almost a year before the end of the Great Patriotic War, a march of German prisoners of war known as the “Parade of the Vanquished” was organized in Moscow at the behest of Joseph Stalin. On July 17, 1944, 57,600 German soldiers and officers captured during Operation Bagration marched along the Garden Ring and other streets of the Russian capital. Among the prisoners were 19 generals, leading the column in uniforms adorned with medals. Watering vehicles followed the procession, symbolically cleansing the ‘dirt’ from the roads. The event, showcasing the Soviet Union's strength in WWII, left a lasting impact on the citizens of Moscow and international observers. 👍Boost us! | Subscribe to @geopolitics_live

This article written by President Putin for the north Korean media before his recent visit is well worth reading. President Putin’s trip to the DPRK was conducted at a time when Russia is increasingly leaning into its Soviet heritage – economically, militarily and diplomatically. The treaty signed between the two nations put the west on notice that Russia will no longer allow the DPRK to be isolated or threatened with impunity, and greatly strengthened the global axis of anti-imperialist resistance. https://thecommunists.org/2024/06/24/news/vladimir-putin-dprk-ussr-russia-long-traditions-friendship-cooperation/
