i'm sure it's just a coincidence that the bitcoin wallet that #OFAC just sanctioned because it was being used by Russian and North Korean weapons programs just so happened to be sending all its bitcoins to crypto exchanges belonging to Trump's Chinese business partners: Justin Sun's #HTX and Changpeng Zhao's #Binance.

“Belgium to recognize Palestine, sanction Israel”

https://www.politico.eu/article/belgium-to-recognize-palestine-sanction-israel/

But still “only … if Hamas releases all remaining Israeli hostages kidnapped in the Oct. 7, 2023 attack and the militant group ‘no longer has any role in managing Palestine’”

How odd: nothing about disbanding the IDF and ensuring that the Israeli government that is checks notes COMMITTING GENOCIDE no longer has any role managing Israel?

“In the meantime, Belgium will also impose ‘firm sanctions’ on the Israeli government, Prévot said. The measures include a ban on importing products from illegal settlements, a review of public procurement policies with Israeli companies and restrictions on consular assistance to Belgians living in illegal settlements.”

This part sounds good but I’ll believe it when I see it.

The Dutch #government just collapsed... again.

They were already a caretaker cabinet, waiting for elections to happen.

But a debate about imposing sanctions on Israel resulted this evening in the minister of Foreign Affairs' resignation, after which his colleagues from the same party resigned as well.

I've never seen government in The Netherlands so unstable.

And yet, still no #sanctions on #Israel forthcoming.

The deadline passed with no pause in the war — the fighting has in fact intensified as #Russia pushes forward with a summer offensive — and no new economic penalties on Russia.

“Instead of getting hit with #sanctions, #Putin got a summit,” said Ryhor Nizhnikau, a Russia expert & senior researcher at the Finnish Institute of International Affairs. “This is a tremendous victory for Putin no matter what the result of the summit.”

But it is more than a photo op. In addition to thawing #Russia’s pariah status in the West, the summit has sowed discord within #NATO — a perennial Russian goal — & postponed #Trump’s threat of tough new #sanctions. Little more than two weeks ago, he vowed that if #Putin did not commit to a cease-fire by last Friday, he would punish Moscow & countries like China & India that help Russia’s war effort by buying its oil gas.

A federal judge blocked on Friday the enforcement of #Trump's #ExecutiveOrder targeting those who work with the #InternationalCriminalCourt.

The ruling follows an April lawsuit by 2 #HumanRights advocates challenging Trump's Feb 6 order authorizing potentially far-reaching economic & travel #sanctions on people who work on #ICC investigations of US citizens or US allies, such as Israel.

Sorry IDF you can't 'blame malfunction' when dehydrated and starving kids are killed waiting to collect water during a genocide. Water is life, but obviously not for the Knesset and IDF when it comes to Palestine. Today @EUCommission meets to discuss possible actions/ sanctions on If the EU wants to be seen as credible and uphold the international rules-based order, it must impose sanctions on Israel.

Interesting response and analysis of Francesca Albanese regarding profiteering in the siege of Gaza and settlements of Palestinian land, annexed to Israel. She’s been studying this for over 2 years, revealing particular capitalist entities like Maersk. She notes that young activists undertook the research and now established media refuses to acknowledge their authority. 2nd part of interview yet to be recorded and posted.

Please read about the #BDS #boycotts if you haven’t already!

I know, as #anticapitalist we’re not likely to be the biggest #consumers, and that many of these #companies targeted for #boycott, #divestment, and #sanctions, are not #consumer brands anyway.

But, the #Palestinian BDS National Committee has identified list of companies that support #Israel and which profit off the #genocide in #Gaza!
