Prince Tucy Condemns Israeli Strikes; ICJ Declares Israeli Occupation Illegal, Not Statehood


Hyderabad, June 18 (Same Day): Prince Yakub Habeebuddin Tucy, a descendant of the last Mughal Emperor Bahadur Shah Zafar, has issued a strong statement condemning recent Israeli military actions targeting the Islamic Republic of Iran. The Prince, who has frequently voiced solidarity with the Palestinian cause, called Israel’s operations a “blatant violation of international law” and urged the global Muslim community to unite in defense of Iran and Palestine.

“Such aggression against a sovereign Islamic nation not only destabilizes the region but threatens the principles of peace and justice enshrined in international law,” Prince Yakub said in a statement released Tuesday. He further called on the United Nations and the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) to take urgent action.

Meanwhile, in a landmark development on the global legal front, the International Court of Justice (ICJ) has delivered a non-binding advisory opinion on the Israeli occupation of Palestinian territories. The court ruled that Israel’s continued settlement activities and its military occupation of the West Bank, East Jerusalem, and Gaza violate international law, including the prohibition on acquiring territory by force.

The ruling, issued in July 2024 and gaining renewed attention amid current tensions, has intensified calls for international accountability. 

In response to the ruling, a coalition of nations known as “The Hague Group” has been formed by several countries including South Africa, Malaysia, Chile, and Namibia, aiming to push for the enforcement of the ICJ’s recommendations and strengthen support for Palestinian self-determination.

The developments come amid growing global criticism of Israel’s military campaigns in both Gaza and, more recently, its targeting of alleged Iranian assets. Observers say the convergence of legal condemnation and political mobilization signals a turning point in how the international community may address long-standing conflicts in the Middle East.

Patients Forced to Buy Medicines, Carry Bottles at Unani Hospital Charminar: Lubna Sarwat Raise Alarm

Image
Hyderabad (Same Day): Patients visiting the Government Unani Hospital in Charminar are reportedly being compelled to purchase a majority of their prescribed medicines from private pharmacies, with activists claiming that over 60% of essential Unani medicines are unavailable at the facility. Adding to the woes, patients are also being asked to bring their own empty bottles to collect traditional halwa-based medicines—a practice described as both inconvenient and degrading by social activists and patient families. Dr. Lubna Sarwath, social and environmental activist and member of the Indian National Congress (INC), has formally raised the grievance with the Hyderabad District Collector on Wednesday, demanding immediate redressal. “This is a public hospital meant to serve the underprivileged. Patients should not have to bear the financial burden of purchasing medicines or bring containers to access prescribed formulations. It reflects a breakdown in basic public health services,” she sai...
