Israel has been on trial in the international courts in The Hague for decades. The latest development in this saga is that South Africa has filed a case on 29th December 2023 with the International Court of Justice against Israel.
South Africa claims that Israel is committing genocide in Gaza. It requests the court to urgently order Israel to immediately cease its military campaign in Gaza.
Obsessional hostility has even infected counter-terrorism experts
UK Foreign Secretary Lord Cameron and US Secretary of State Antony Blinken, December 7 2023
The chilly winds that have been blowing towards Israel from its American and British allies have grown even colder.
Sir Lindsay Hoyle, the Speaker of the UK’s House of Commons whose duty is to be conspicuously impartial, caused astonishment when a diary note from his office indicated that he would meet the “Palestine Ambassador” to Britain this week. The note also said that “as part of Speaker-led diplomacy, we will be flying the … Palestine flag in honour of the Palestine Ambassador”.

During previous Gaza wars, authorities refrained from demolitions in East Jerusalem to ease tensions. However, the pace increased since October, with a 60% surge in demolished homes reported in 2023. Wednesday also marked the first demolitions in unrecognized Bedouin villages since the war began

The Jerusalem Municipality has expedited the pace of house demolitions in East Jerusalem since the war began, with 140 homes demolished in 2023, marking a 60% increase from the preceding year.
Alongside these, 84 other structures, including shops and warehouses, were also demolished. This current approach diverges from past Gaza conflict periods, where authorities refrained from demolishing homes in East Jerusalem to prevent escalating security tensions in the city.
Facing a difficult election, Biden and his team want to wind the war down, but they risk encouraging adversaries in the region and beyond

There have been an increasing number of Lebanese and international media reports in recent days and weeks about efforts to forge a diplomatic agreement between Israel and Hezbollah, spearheaded by the United States and France. This would ostensibly be done by pushing Hezbollah operatives back from the border with Israel by a distance of between five and ten kilometers.
E. Rowell: In this interview it becomes clear that staffers in the current Biden Administration function as Iranian agents. Their policy goals damage Israel’s legitimacy as a sovereign nation and her ability to protect her national security, while they empower Iranian hegemony over the Middle East. In addition, Israel’s current military leaders are so dependent upon the US, that they have been willing to jettison decisive victory against Hamas and Hezbollah in the vain hope of maintaining the US dependence that is now more millstone than support.

Minister Benny Gantz in a statement: The most urgent thing is the return of the hostages. This has precedence over any move in the fighting.

The chairman of the National Unity Party, Minister Benny Gantz, gave a statement on Wednesday afternoon in which he said that the war against Hamas in Gaza must not be stopped.
“The achievements of the IDF are increasing. Shaft after shaft, headquarters after headquarters. A large part of the Gaza Strip is not ruled by Hamas today. The public institutions were destroyed, it does not provide education or medical services except through international organizations. A Gazan citizen does not have a true governmental address,” Gantz said.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his ministers must remember that Israel is not an American vassal state.

(JNS) At his press conference Tuesday evening, U.S. Secretary of State Tony Blinken showed that contrary to popular belief, the Biden administration is not Israel’s ally. It is the greatest obstacle to Israel’s victory.
Blinken began his remarks by drawing a moral equivalence between the suffering of Israeli hostages and their families and that of the Palestinian Arabs in Gaza. The Palestinian Arabs in Gaza, who overwhelmingly support Hamas, are just as innocent as the hostages, Blinken insisted.
Peloni: The focus of the US led presence in the region is clearly not intended to deter Iran.
“The reluctance of the Biden administration to put U.S. carriers in the Gulf reflects the low priority deterring Iran is for Team Biden. A credible deterrent presence vis-à-vis Iran is the “hack” needed to lock the gates on regional escalation, and Biden isn’t putting the most obvious asset behind that. Instead, he’s got it hundreds of miles away, acting like an escort ship without the escort-ship agility and sea-combat superiority, while prevented by policy from doing what it was born for: mangling Houthi – or Iranian – stash ashore.”
How NOT to deter a rogue nation like radical Iran.

It doesn’t help that the U.S. military chain of command was basically, as far as we can see right now, in Status Unknown around the New Year. It’s being reported that neither the National Security Council nor Congress was informed on New Year’s Day when Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin was put in intensive care following an “elective procedure” performed sometime before (probably Christmas week). Austin was in the ICU for four days before the NSC was told.

Peloni: A very important conversation between Caroline and Wurmser where they discuss, among other things, how the US is pushing its hostile position upon Israel and that the Israeli elites have utterly failed to challenge the US support for the existential threats being leveraged against Israel.

Has there been a paradigm shift in US policy towards Israel since the beginning of the war with Hamas? What is US policy towards Hezbollah in the North? Is the Biden administration out of touch with the reality in the Middle East?
Caroline Glick talks with the Center for Security Policy’s David Wurmser to discuss all of this and more!
Regavim discovered tens of thousands of illegal structures along the Judea and Samaria security barrier, much of it constructed in the last 10 months.

An alarming increase in illegal Arab construction along the Judea and Samaria security barrier has come to light thanks to research by Israeli NGO Regavim.
Analyzing photography obtained through aerial reconnaissance, Regavim discovered tens of thousands of illegal structures built along the barrier, which runs roughly along the Green Line, the 1949 armistice line that followed Israel’s War of Independence.

If anyone is watching, armed Hamas fighters have hijacked aid convoys in videos taken both by the IDF and civilians in Gaza. In video after video, Hamas terrorists seize aid and assault civilians who, in some cases, respond by hurling abuse and stones.

A week after the horrors of October 7, when the Biden administration first convinced Israel to open up the siege of Gaza and allow in international aid, it promised Hamas would not get it.
“If Hamas in any way blocks humanitarian assistance from reaching civilians, including by seizing the aid itself, we’ll be the first to condemn it. And we will work to prevent it from happening again,” Secretary of State Antony Blinken pledged.
