The Israeli regime has declared a 48-hour state of emergency as a wave of panic swept across the occupied territories following a barrage of retaliatory strikes by Lebanon’s Hezbollah resistance movement.

Former Israeli prime minister Ehud Olmert calls on the regime’s military and security officials to submit their immediate resignations if the current round of the Gaza ceasefire negotiations fail.

Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu reportedly refused to meet British Foreign Secretary David Lammy over the new British government’s decision to retract objection to ICC arrest warrants against Netanyahu and Israeli minister of military affairs Yoav Gallant.

Netanyahu’s office put out a statement, rebuking Gallant.

Britain has announced it will not proceed with its attempt to question whether the International Criminal Court has jurisdiction to issue arrest warrants for Israeli Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, and Minister of Military Affairs, Yoav Gallant.

Britain’s new government says it will drop its predecessor’s challenge to arrest warrants sought by the International Criminal Court’s prosecutor for the Zionist entity’s prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Downing Street announced on Friday.

The secretary-general of the Lebanese resistance movement pledged formidable retaliation in case of a potential assault by Israel.
