The Telegraph: ICC puts its reputation on trial by chasing Netanyahu
The International Criminal Court has issued arrest warrants for Israeli leaders Benjamin Netanyahu and Yoav Gallant, marking a significant moment as it is the first time such warrants have been issued against democratically elected officials. This situation raises questions about the ICC's authority and its relationship with Western nations that support Israel.
The enforcement of these warrants poses challenges, as many member states, including the UK and Western Europe, provide military aid to Israel. The effectiveness and relevance of the ICC may be tested, especially since neither Israel nor the US are members of the court.

The use of Storm Shadows missiles in Ukraine has raised concerns about escalating the conflict, prompting discussions on whether the UK Parliament should vote on further military actions. Nigel Farage highlighted the importance of parliamentary approval, recalling a past instance in 2013 when a vote prevented arming Syrian rebels, which could have led to unintended consequences.
Farage noted that while the government can act without parliamentary consent, public opinion and accountability should guide decisions on military involvement. He referenced Jeremy Corbyn's call for a parliamentary vote on escalating support in Ukraine as part of a broader debate on national decision-making in wartime.

Breitbart: Germany Ignored Warnings of Nord Stream Sabotage Plot: Report
An investigation claims that German officials received intelligence about a Ukrainian plot to sabotage the Nord Stream pipelines months before the attack but failed to act. The report suggests a significant intelligence failure by Chancellor Olaf Scholz’s government, which ignored warnings from Dutch military intelligence.
The intelligence indicated a planned attack during NATO exercises in June 2022, but after the attack did not occur, the government deemed the information false. The subsequent sabotage in September 2022 raised questions about Germany's support for Ukraine and has prompted calls for investigations into the government's knowledge of the plot.
