"PRESS RELEASE: the #ICJ indicates additional provisional measures following South Africa’s request of 6 March 2024 in the case #SouthAfrica v. Israel bit.ly/3IVfOjp"
The court _unanimously_ orders more land crossings opened, and full cooperation with the UN.
Seeing that Bibi is rejecting cooperation with UNRWA, that's not likely to happen, but noteworthy that the ICJ could reach unanimity.
Update on the status in Haiti from
Renata Segura of #crisisgroup:
"CARICOM had requested Haitian political forces to send a proposal for creating a transitional government. They received 7 instead.
The meeting in Jamaica ended with white smoke of sorts: [the current president] oledged to resign, and a 7 member presidential council was created with representation from multiples parties (including Henry's). The council will chose a new prime minister.
This is a huge deal, as negotiations to form a new gvt has stalled for years. However, the immediate emergency is the security situation. Gang leader Chérizier said yesterday (before CARICOM's announcement) that Vin Ansanm would NOT recognise a new gvt resulting from [the meeting in] Jamaica.
The question is how to respond now to the security crisis. The Mission led by Kenya is preparing to deploy, but the biggest ? is if it will be able to arrive fast enough to prevent gangs from taking control of the entire capital."
