International Criminal Court Issues Arrest Warrant For Netanyahu

The International Criminal Court on Thursday issued arrest warrants for Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of Israel and the former Israeli defense minister, Yoav Gallant, for crimes against humanity and war crimes in the Gaza Strip.Karim Khan, the court’s chief prosecutor, had requested the arrest warrants in May for the two Israelis, alongside three top Hamas officials. Israel has fiercely contested the court’s allegations, which include the use of starvation as a weapon of war and “intentionally directing an attack against the civilian population.”The court on Thursday also issued a warrant for the arrest of Muhammad Deif, Hamas’s military chief, for crimes against humanity, including murder, hostage taking and sexual violence. Israel said in August that it had killed Mr. Deif. Mr. Khan had also sought arrest warrants for Yahya Sinwar, the leader of Hamas, and Ismail Haniyeh, another top figure in the militant group, both of whom were later killed by Israel.The warrants added to Israel’s declining legitimacy on the world stage, where it has faced increasingly fierce condemnation over its conduct of the war against Hamas in Gaza. Israel insists that it fights in accordance with the international laws of war.

Congress Calls Trump's Gaza Plan "Bizarre And Incoherent"

Trump proposed unprecedented U.S. control of Gaza Strip during a White House press conference with Netanyahu, suggesting "long-term ownership" that could last 10-15 years.The plan calls for nearly two million Palestinian residents to permanently relocate to neighboring countries, marking a dramatic shift from decades of U.S. policy.Congressional leaders from both parties expressed skepticism, with even Trump ally Lindsey Graham calling the proposal "problematic."Middle East experts, including former Palestinian Authority advisor Khaled Elgindy, criticized the plan as "bizarre and incoherent."White House officials argue mass relocation is the only viable option and seek to convince Egypt and Jordan to accept displaced Palestinians.The administration estimates Gaza reconstruction would take 10-15 years, far longer than the 3-5 years outlined in cease-fire agreements.The proposal lacks clear details on how to handle Palestinian resistance to relocation or potential U.S. military deployment.Saudi Arabia immediately rejected the plan, stating it wouldn't normalize ties with Israel without a clear path to Palestinian statehood.Trump expressed uncertainty about the current cease-fire's durability while presenting his proposal.The plan faces significant implementation challenges and could complicate other regional objectives, including Israel-Saudi normalization efforts.

ICE Seizes Columbia Protest Leader as Rubio Vows Purge of "Hamas Supporters"

Trump announced the arrest of Mahmoud Khalil, a lawful U.S. permanent resident and Columbia graduate involved in pro-Palestine campus protests.Federal immigration authorities arrested Khalil inside his university-owned apartment on Saturday night.ICE agents claimed they were acting on State Department orders to revoke Khalil's immigration status.The Department of Homeland Security confirmed the arrest was "in support of President Trump's executive orders prohibiting anti-Semitism."This appears to be the first publicly known deportation effort under Trump's promised crackdown on students who joined Gaza war protests.Authorities allegedly threatened to arrest Khalil's American citizen wife, who is eight months pregnant.Khalil's attorney reported being unable to locate where he is being detained after initial information proved incorrect.Secretary of State Marco Rubio stated the administration "will be revoking the visas and/or green cards of Hamas supporters in America."Immigration experts note this detention of a legal permanent resident without criminal charges is extraordinary and legally questionable.Khalil was under investigation by Columbia University for his pro-Palestinian activism, including allegations about social media posts he claims he "had nothing to do with."
