The chief prosecutor of the International Criminal Court, who filed arrest warrants against Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defence Minister Yoav Gallant over Gaza, has been cleared of all wrongdoing over “sexual misconduct” allegations.

The unanimous conclusion of the panel of judges concluded that the allegations “do not establish any misconduct or breach of duty.”

Reports in August 2025 documented the scale of the intimidation campaign targeting the ICC chief prosecutor: “The campaign has involved threats and warnings directed at Karim Khan by prominent figures, close colleagues and family friends briefing against him, fears for the prosecutor’s safety prompted by a Mossad team in The Hague, and media leaks about sexual assault allegations.”

The case unfolded against the backdrop of Khan’s efforts to pursue investigations into alleged war crimes by Israeli officials in Gaza and other occupied Palestinian territories.

@DropSiteNews Obviously, Abdul wants the Black vote and apparently he is lagging there. Hence Kamala… he is in this to win, he’s becoming a politician… it’s like Obama, he had to bend to be the first Black President… Abdul wants to be the first Muslim senator.

What Ed Sheeran did wrong tonight:

- Started with Oct 7th
- Called it a conflict
- Pretended that he didn't know enough
- Both Sides it
- Didn't apologise to Macklemore
- Didn't call it a genocide
- Didn't say FREE PALESTINE
- Used a teleprompter
- Didn't blame Israel

[Caitlin Johnstone @caitoz]

The reason everyone stopped caring about October 7 is because Israel just spent three years showing the world all the murderousness, sadism and racism which caused October 7 to happen.

Noura is a brilliant, thoughtful, principled human rights lawyer; for her to be arrested for exercising her right to free speech is symptomatic of a serious & disturbing degeneration in the American system.

“Among the many shocking facts in ‘Naza,’ Yuval Abraham and Rachel Szor’s unflinching expose of systematic Israeli war crimes in Gaza, is a title at the end noting that many of the revelations in the film were previously published in the ‘Guardian’ newspaper, ‘+972 Magazine,’ and ‘Local Call,’” writes Bilge Ebiri. At the picture’s press conference in Venice, not long before the film received what might be the longest-ever standing ovation in film-festival history, Szor also reminded everyone that Palestinian journalists have reported on these facts. In other words, the information has been out there for months, and much of the world has shrugged, if not ignored it completely.

“Perhaps it will be hard to ignore now, with the appearance of this starkly shot, damning documentary, which was a very late and out-of-the-blue addition to the Venice and New York Film Festival lineups. That secrecy was warranted. ‘Naza’ is a bombshell,” writes Ebiri.

Isn’t it amazing that at this late date that every single major cable news anchor is still a genocide denier? They’re like the Japanese soldiers hiding in caves who don’t know the war’s over. Whole world knows the Israelis committed a horrific genocide. Except captured US media.

[Variety @Variety]

Israeli directors Yuval Abraham and Rachel Szor — who are two of the four co-directors of Oscar winner “No Other Land” — return with "NAZA."

The new documentary was shot at night on the rooftops of Tel Aviv and shows “in detail the systems behind Israel’s calculated mass killing of Palestinian civilians in Gaza,” per an official synopsis. Abraham and Szor interviewed 24 Israeli military intelligence officers and soldiers — all of whom spoke on the condition of anonymity — who were involved in the surveillance or remote killing of Palestinian civilians in Gaza. Their appearance and voices were digitally altered to disguise their identities.

"I think that this piece is likely to make the denial of what took place in Gaza — not only its genocidal nature, but really the specifics of what it looked like from inside the Israeli system — harder. We know there is a lot of denial happening. And to me, that denial is one factor that contributes to the crimes persisting," Abraham tells Variety.

Israel Isn't Debating a Palestinian State. It's Preparing for Expulsion.

Gadi Eisenkot's position on Palestinian statehood is beside the point. Across Gaza, the West Bank and Israel itself, the machinery for making Palestinian life impossible is already operating, laying the groundwork for mass expulsion

Gadi Eisenkot, the election frontrunner and leader of the Yashar party, has a stance on a Palestinian state that is ultimately irrelevant. What is at stake today is not a "diplomatic solution," but the very existence of the Palestinian people between the Jordan River and the Mediterranean Sea. The Israeli forces striving to "erase" them recognize no limits or restraints. Their supporters are too numerous for us to rely solely on the steadfastness and resilience of a people that has already endured expulsion plans carried out by Israel.

The world stands by. The left is tiny, weak and hoarse from sounding too many warnings. The anti-Bibi opposition oscillates among downplaying the danger, remaining indifferent to it and outright supporting expulsion. The sporadic condemnations, prompted mainly by something the U.S. ambassador posted on X, are about as useful as a sieve in a rainstorm. The Jewish Phalangists attack constantly and everywhere, not only in Qusra.

The debate over one state, two states or a federation is more theoretical than ever. Any agreed-upon solution requires first acknowledging the problem and agreeing on what it is. Too many Jews in Israel have been conditioned to believe that the problem is the very presence in this land of a Palestinian people with roots, historical and economic continuity, cultural capital and material assets, a rich agricultural heritage and a profound love of homeland.

"Erasure" is the nightmare solution being written into reality every day. Knesset laws, politicians' declarations, military orders, school textbooks and the holy real estate battalions operating in Gaza, the West Bank and the Negev all work, together and separately, to advance this "solution" diligently and without fear of international condemnation.

Israeli policy is directed toward making life unbearable for Palestinians wherever they live, so that their emigration can be described as an act of free will. Within Israel itself, the authorities give Arab crime organizations free rein to arm themselves and kill Palestinian citizens in their homes. In the West Bank, those same Israeli authorities give "God's battalions" free rein to arm themselves, kill and expel, while the official army continues its raids day and night. In devastated and thirsty Gaza, the government and the army cultivate armed militias of criminal collaborators, while Israeli pilots continue to launch missiles of revenge and retribution that claim the lives of still more children. All these testosterone-fueled displays are interconnected.

At the same time, Israel is destroying or severely restricting Palestinians' ability to earn a living. In Gaza, that mission has been completed. A "living dead" population of aid recipients, two million people carrying the weight of some 74,000 fresh graves, families and memories, talents and professions, and evaporated savings, is crammed into roughly 150 square kilometers of scorched earth. Creativity, resourcefulness and mutual aid are dwarfed by the scale of the destruction and by Israel's prohibition on rebuilding and recovery.

In the West Bank, the Finance Ministry's financial noose is tightening around the necks of approximately three million people and the Palestinian Authority. The systematic theft of revenues is compounded by the army's campaigns of destruction in cities and refugee camps, as well as by the other methods used to prevent Palestinians from cultivating and developing their land: checkpoints, bureaucratic prohibitions, fences and Israeli-Jewish shepherds.

Within Israel itself, the "Judaization of the Galilee and Negev" was and remains code for stealing land and resources from Palestinian citizens of Israel. Discrimination against them in allocations, subsidies and employment, along with building prohibitions and demolitions, has always featured prominently in official policy within the Green Line.

Let me reiterate: The very existence of the Palestinian people between the sea and the river is now in danger. Too many active forces are creating that danger: Israel's military might and capabilities; the cult of military service under all conditions and under every government; obedience as a value; weapons and military attacks as the default modus operandi; the normalization of PTSD among soldiers and of soldiers dying by suicide; the attractions of a military career and the doors it opens; the lure of an affordable villa in a Galilee exclusionary community or a settler suburb in Samaria; the falsehoods of official and unofficial propaganda; indifference to the hell on earth Israel has created in the Gaza Strip; denial of 60 years of occupation and forced rule; the Pavlovian response, "But October 7"; the synergy among the army, the government, the rabbis and the kippa-wearing militias in the West Bank; equanimity in the face of Lebanon's destruction; disregard for the occupation of more parts of Syria; the normalization of expulsion discourse; justice and education systems tainted by secular and religious racism; and the army of jailers who abuse thousands of Palestinian prisoners, both under orders and by choice.

Together, these and similar forces are creating the material, ideological and psychological infrastructure within Israeli-Jewish society for another mass expulsion of Palestinians and for what might accompany it: mass slaughter.

The heroes of the settler militias openly declare that expulsion is their goal. They clearly recognize the readiness of large segments of Israeli-Jewish society to participate in carrying it out, actively or passively, directly or indirectly. Through their daily provocations and crimes, committed in broad daylight and made possible only by institutional support, the Phalangists constantly seek to provoke a Palestinian act of rage and revenge that "succeeds," so that it can be exploited as the match that ignites a new holy war.

The Jewish Phalangists and the right-wing organizations that fuel them are counting on broad mobilization, including from the leaders, voters and supporters of Yashar and the liberal Democrats party, for a war that could already be given the slogan: "One people, one army, one land cleansed of Arabs."

We’ve been covering settler violence against Palestinians in the West Bank for years.

But yesterday, we found ourselves on the menu.

A group of masked settlers beat our team and pummelled the 51 year old woman we were interviewing unconscious.

We’re all ok now - and Aida is out of the hospital - but this is just one incident among an unprecedented surge in settler violence across the West Bank.

Here’s out story on yesterday’s attack on Sunday Today on @NBCNews.

#ULTIMAHORA Palestina tiene ahora un ejército defendiéndolo 👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼

Abogado @Gilles_Devers “Ustedes no tienen ejército, por eso decidimos ser su ejército”

Uno de los abogados franceses más famosos y experimentados, Gilles Devers, reunió en solo 10 días un ejército de abogados de todos los continentes para presentar una demanda por los crímenes cometidos por la entidad sionista contra los palestinos.

La lista reunida por Devers superó los 300 abogados de diferentes nacionalidades y religiones, y aún está abierta a más incorporaciones.
El maestro abogado Gilles Devers amenazó al Israel invasor con un futuro sombrío y se dirigió a los palestinos de la siguiente manera:

"No tenían a nadie que los defendiera, pero ahora tienen un ejército que los defenderá en los tribunales internacionales y nacionales."

[Thomas Massie @RepThomasMassie]

The U.S. has been significantly weakened by the war with Iran.

This administration depleted our missile defenses, drained our oil reserves, sacrificed our men & women, inflated the price of consumer goods, increased our debt, and neglected our domestic needs…

all for Israel.
