Tens of thousands of farmers gathered at Whitehall in bitterly cold conditions on Tuesday for a major protest against “cruel” changes to inheritance tax – but ministers indicated they would hold firm. On the coldest day of the year – which saw snow fall in Westminster – more than 20,000 people from all corners of the nation gathered to urge the Government to scrap the so-called “tractor tax”. A massive crowd greeted the former Top Gear star-turned-farmer with roaring cheers as he took the stage – having battled back pain to make the protest. |

| Imam’s ‘destroy Jewish homes’ sermon is not a crime, say police |
 |
|
According to the Jewish Chronicle, the Metropolitan Police have determined that an imam’s prayer calling for the destruction of Jewish homes does not constitute a crime, leaving security experts baffled. Just two weeks after Hamas’s massacre in southern Israel last year, a preacher at an east London mosque – located near a sizeable Jewish community – told his followers: “Oh Allah, curse the Jews and the children of Israel. Oh Allah, curse the infidels and the polytheists. Despite public outrage, the Met concluded that the sermon, including its context and narrative, did not meet the legal threshold for prosecution, though they acknowledged the content was upsetting. Lord Mann, the government’s antisemitism adviser, called for the case to be re-investigated and plans to discuss it with the policing minister. Meanwhile, Jewish security group CST expressed that many in the community would find the decision hard to comprehend, and a former officer suggested it reflects “two-tier policing” with different standards for different groups. This decision follows controversy over Essex Police’s criminal investigation into a tweet by journalist Allison Pearson, sparking further debate over inconsistencies in policing. |

| Sweden and Finland Warn citizens to prepare for war |
 |
| Sweden’s Minister for Civil Defense Carl-Oskar Bohlin shows off the new manual for civilians to be prepared for war or crisis. |
|
The governments of Sweden and Finland are urging their citizens to prepare for the possibility of war, as the Russian invasion of Ukraine continues with no resolution in sight, now surpassing a thousand days. In Sweden, a special “In Case of Crisis or War” pamphlet has been distributed, providing detailed guidance on how to prepare for and survive a national emergency. Notably, this pamphlet has only been issued five times since World War II, highlighting the gravity of the situation. Meanwhile, the Finnish government has raised concerns that only 58% of its population possesses the necessary emergency supplies to endure a potential conflict. Authorities have issued detailed recommendations on essential items to stockpile in households, emphasizing the importance of preparedness. |

The International Criminal Court (ICC) in the Hague issued arrest warrants this afternoon (Thursday) against Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and former Minister of Defense, Yoav Gallant. The ICC explained that there is reasonable belief that Netanyahu and Gallant committed war crimes. The announcement statement that Netanyahu and Gallant “bear criminal responsibility for crimes, including shared participation in acts committed with others – war crimes of starvation as a method of warfare and crimes against humanity, including murder, persecution, and other inhumane acts.” In addition, “Netanyahu and Gallant each bear individual criminal responsibility as civilian superiors for the war crime of intentional attack against a civilian population,” it was written. Since Hamas did not formally confirm the death of Mohammed Deif, the ICC also issued an arrest warrant against him. Former Prime Minister, Naftali Bennet, commented on X that, “The ICC arrest warrants are a mark of shame not of Israel’s leaders but of the ICC itself, and its members. On October 7th, Hamas brutally attacked Israel, murdering, burning alive and raping over 1200 Israelis. Israel is fighting back the most just of wars against pure evil.” “All Israelis, left and right, stand behind the war whose goals are to release the kidnapped Israelis, demolish Hamas and restore security to Israel. Shame on ICC.” President Isaac Herzog said that, “Taken in bad faith, the outrageous decision at the ICC has turned universal justice into a universal laughing stock. It makes a mockery of the sacrifice of all those who fight for justice – from the Allied victory over the Nazis till today. |
