Israeli politician signals support for South Africa ICJ case
Ofer Cassif, a member of the Knesset who represents the far-left, Arab-majority Hadash coalition, has stated that he is in favor of the International Court of Justice's hearing this week to consider South Africa's allegations of genocide against Israel. He accused the Israeli government of pushing "South Africa to turn to The Hague" in a post on X. "I have a constitutional obligation to serve Israeli society and its citizens, not a government whose supporters advocate for ethnic cleansing and even genuine genocide," the author said. The Israeli parliament's ethics committee suspended Cassif in October after he likened Netanyahu's Gaza plan to the Nazis' "Final Solution" for the extermination of the Jewish population in Europe.

Can the UN do anything to stop Israel’s war on Gaza?
There are increasing doubts about the UN's ability to put an end to Israel's attack on Gaza. Invoking Article 99 last month, UN chief Antonio Guterres warned that the Gaza war "may threaten the maintenance of international peace and security" and forced the Security Council to address the conflict. The United States, however, softened the wording of a later resolution, and nothing noteworthy happened—not even extra aid for the beleaguered Gazans.

In Minneapolis, hundreds of people protest to call for a stop to Israel’s war.
Numerous demonstrators demonstrated in front of Minnesota Representative Amy Klobuchar's office in Minneapolis because she favors keeping Israel's war going. The office door was adorned with fake corpse bags, posters, and banners depicting children who were murdered by Israel. The rally's organizer, the Muslims of America for Palestine campaign, stated that it will never stop reminding Senator Klobuchar and all other US lawmakers that their hands are soiled with the blood of Gaza. Chants against Klobuchar included demands that the world join South Africa in taking Israel to task at the International Court of Justice and that they did not want their money to be used to finance the genocide in Gaza.

More money, more problems: Debate on Black Tax in African football returns
The "Black Tax" has grown commonplace among football players, who are frequently among the highest-paid professionals in the world, but the topic is typically broached in private or in whispers. Former Chelsea midfielder John Mikel Obi reignited a long-standing discussion in November 2023 over the challenges faced by wage earners, particularly high-level football players who earn millions of dollars. "When you come from Africa - and this is something I don't think we speak about a lot - when you make money, it is not your money," Obi remarked in an interview with Rio Ferdinand, the former England international, on the Vibe with Five podcast.
