For the first time, an Italian ship, after having rescued the immigrantsin mare, brought them back in Libya. It's about the Ace Twenty-Eight, a support vessel for an oil platform, That, in application of what has been established by the Italian government, coordinated with the Tripoli Coast Guard which is competent in those waters for the management of SAR search and rescue operations.
The boat, reports The Press, “it seems he followed the indications from the Coast Guard operations center which ordered the commander of Asso via radio from Rome 28 to coordinate with the Tripoli Coast Guard. Essentially the order was to bring those migrants back to Libya.".
“We have learned that one of the dinghies reported today by the Italian Coast Guard with 108 people on board in the Mediterranean were rescued by the ship Asso Ventotto, flying the Italian flag, which is heading towards Tripoli. We do not yet know whether this operation takes place on the recommendation of the Italian Coast Guard, but if that were the case it would be a very serious precedent, a truly collective rejection for which Italy and the ship's commander will answer before a court“, he said Nicola Fratoianni of Free and Equal, aboard the Open Arms. “International law – he adds – provides that people rescued at sea must be taken to a safe port and those in Libya, despite the mystification of reality by the Italian government, cannot be considered as such".

New settlements in the West Bank and recognition of the Golan: Israel defies international law
Israel to revive extensive Jewish construction projects in West Bank. The super hawk Avigdor Lieberman anticipated it on Twitter, Defense Minister of the government chaired by Netanyahu. “Next week – he wrote – we will submit to the Superior Council for planning in Judea-Samaria (West Bank) plans for the construction of 2.500 accommodation, 1.400 of which to be implemented immediately". “We will extend construction throughout Judea-Samaria – he added – from North to South, in small and large settlements”.
Israel militarily occupied East Jerusalem and the West Bank in the war 1967 and has since built dozens of settlements in a territory that according to international law belongs to what should become the State of Palestine, an area that the UN recognizes as "occupied territories".
Since the beginning of the Trump administration, Israel has stepped up, according to reports presented by some NGOs, the construction of new homes and new settlements in the occupied territories, a sign that the presence of a friendly government like the American one has created the conditions for Israel from an international point of view to implement a new phase of building expansion.
