  • Turkey joins South Africa’s case against Israel

    Turkey joins South Africa’s case against Israel

    Turkey has filed an official request to join South Africa’s genocide case against Israel in the International Court of Justice (ICJ) in the Hague.

    In a statement, the Turkish foreign ministry announced that it had decided to join the case—formally known as submitting a declaration of official intervention—and would make the necessary legal preparations.

    Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan said it had made the formal request on Wednesday.


    “The international community must do its part to stop the genocide and exert the necessary pressure on Israel and its supporters,” Fidan said in a post on X (formerly Twitter).


    “Turkiye will make every effort to do so,” he added.


    The court will make the final decision of admission to the case.


    South Africa brought its case against Israel in December, accusing it of state-led genocide in Gaza.

    However, in January, the ICJ ordered Israel to refrain from any acts that could fall under the Genocide Convention and to ensure its troops commit no genocidal acts against Palestinians.


    Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said that in January, Turkiye provided documents for the case at the ICJ, also known as the World Court. In June, Spain said it had asked to intervene in the case at the ICJ.


    Israel has repeatedly dismissed the case’s accusations of genocide, claiming its right to self-defence after Oct 7 last year that killed 1,200 Israelis and foreigners. In 10 months of subsequent Israeli attack, more than 39,600 Palestinians have been martyred in Gaza. Hundreds of thousands are displaced, and most of the strip suffers from a humanitarian crisis.

    ‘Apologizing for wearing choli was mistake’; Defiant Ushna Shah slams trolls

    Ushna Shah has never shied away from speaking her mind, never allowing trolls to dictate anything to her. If social media creeps think they can troll her into changing who she is, they’ve got another thing coming.

    On Wednesday Ushna posted a video of herself with the caption, “@livgolf_league was such a vibe! They’re really on to something. Got to watch some incredible golf, made some lovely friends & spectated elite #currypower ! ⛳”

    In the video, the actress was seen wearing shorts, accompanied by her husband. The clip sparked a wave of trolling from social media judgemental users.

    In response to the backlash, Ushna took to her X (formerly Twitter) account and defiantly wrote, “A girl from a liberal background, who grew up in Canada & wore shorts etc with her friends is now married to a white man who is from a similar background & doesn’t care if she shows her legs when they’re abroad..and her Pakistani audience looses their minds. ”

    Refusing to give an inch to internet creeps, she said, “The biggest mistake I ever made was apologising for wearing a red choli on my wedding & dancing, to the same people who will drool over the Nargis Fakhris of the world (also Pakistani, also Muslim) but will annihilate us for having a liberal upbringing that differs from theirs. I’m in my “over it” era. Go watch some item numbers & keep searching for po*n, I’m too old to cater to your hypocrisy, I choose to live my life & be happy. ”

    Many people have spoken out in favor of the actress and her right to dress however she prefers.
    Here is the video shared by Ushna Shah:

  • Will Young Stunners be allowed to perform in India?

    Will Young Stunners be allowed to perform in India?

    If you’re a fan of the talented Pakistani hip-hop duo, Young Stunners, you might have seen the buzz about their upcoming tour in India. Two stars Talha Anjum and Talhah Yunus, who are the Young Stunners have gained a massive following across the border.

    Young Stunners’ upcoming performances are in Delhi on December 25, Bengaluru on December 21, and Mumbai on December 13. Skill Box is in charge of organizing the tour and has started accepting pre-registrations for concert tickets, giving priority to those who purchase them early.

    However, the rappers have not announced the tour on their social media and have only updated it with updates about their tours in Australia and Canada. And, some Indian social media users are criticizing the event by reposting previous tweets from Talha Anjum’s accounts, which allegedly made fun of Indian Air Force pilot Abhinandan, attacked Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, and called for the independence of Kashmir from Indian rule.

    The organizer for the Young Stunners’ tour, Desi Disco Entertainment, says that the duo’s shows in India are still on, with registrations open on another website for the Young Stunners Mumbai gig.
    Vaheed Khan, the director of Desi Disco, stated in an interview with The Print in India, that the controversy was a part of a larger strategy to attack the show for declining to work with certain handles.

    Vaheed Khan said, “We won’t let a few negative tweets stop our show. Some social media pages wanted a share of our profits, but we refused to promote them. That’s why they started posting negative tweets. Half of these tweets are fake and have nothing to do with Talha or Pakistan.”
    Young Stunners have a huge fan following in India, with the largest number of their Spotify listeners from Mumbai (152,583 listeners) and New Delhi (245,000 listeners). While the controversy swirls, fans await an official confirmation from the duo.

    Here are the previous tweets of Talha Anjum which created a controversy:
