Eyal Weizman’s pioneering work with Forensic Architecture is the focus of his new book "Ungrounding: The Architecture of Genocide" which details a subject that has long consumed me: how Zionist settlers destroyed my home and built a kibbutz on my land.

In a better world, Ben-Gvir isn’t afraid of being arrested in the US, because he’s already on trial at the ICC.

The British Bar Association temporarily suspended the embattled chief prosecutor of the International Criminal Court Karim Khan, on Friday, pending the outcome of disciplinary proceedings.

The Bar Standards Board said it had suspended Khan from practice and would hold a hearing on disciplinary proceedings within four weeks, according to their statement. The board said it would not comment on what information it based its decision on.

The 56-year-old Briton hit the headlines when he successfully applied for arrest warrants against Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and former defence minister Yoav Gallant for crimes committed during the war on Gaza. He was among the first to be sanctioned by Israel's ally, the United States, which expressed outrage over the arrest warrants.

British barrister Khan was formally removed from his duties at the ICC last week after the court found he had engaged in "serious misconduct" with a female staff member.

On Thursday, the ICC announced a special session would be held on 24 July in New York to vote on Khan's removal. Sixty-three countries would need to vote in favour of ousting Khan for the decision to go through.

Reminder that Pramila Patten, the Special Representative of the Secretary-General on Sexual Violence in Conflict, produced the most authoritative report on sexual violence by Hamas et al on and after 10/7.

Allegations of anti-Israel bias are ludicrous.

New @opiniojuris: why the ASP has to decide for itself whether the Prosecutor engaged in misconduct, requiring the ASP to hold two votes, not just one on removal. https://t.co/H4gWKelSfa

It should be illegal, even criminal, to sell stolen property in illegally occupied Ukraine.

And it should be as illegal & criminal to sell stolen property in the #WestBank.

Even leaving aside its moral and political misjudgements and basic legal illiteracy, journalism students all over the world should study this WSJ editorial carefully in order to learn how not to practise their profession.

Beyond that, it is of little use. https://t.co/mDILagtSf4

Such a dishonest @TimesofIsrael headline. There was no "probe." A bunch of diplomats took political instructions from their governments about how to vote, and overwhelmingly Western ones voted to override the actual scrutiny engaged in by actual judges. https://t.co/iETbiBYNDE

אביו של התינוק שנורה למוות בידי צה"ל בחברון: עצרתי כשהתבקשתי ואז פתחו באש. "לא הייתה שום אזהרה", סיפר פאהד אבו הייכל, והוסיף שהכדור עבר דרכו ופגע בראש של בנו – שהיה בזרועות אימו. "החייל היה במרחק של כעשרה מטרים ממני. היה אור יום והכול היה ברור"
