International Criminal Court Prosecutor Karim Khan has defended his decision to bring war crimes allegations against Israel's prime minister, saying Israel had made "no real effort" to investigate the allegations itself.

British Prime Minister Keir Starmer on Friday condemned what he called "the poison of antisemitism rising around the world" after a visit to Auschwitz-Birkenau, the former German Nazi concentration camp.

Karim Khan’s defence of Gaza war crimes allegations against Netanyahu comes amid delays over ceasefire ratification.

The Israeli cabinet gave its final approval to the ceasefire deal in Gaza, although strikes have continue to kill people in the Palestinian territory.

The Israeli security cabinet had earlier recommended to the government that it allow the Qatar, Egypt and US-mediated truce to go into effect on Sunday.

The ceasefire was urgently needed and wildly overdue. But as long as Israel clings to land that is not its own and covets more, it’s not the end of the fighting.
