In this 21WIRE LIVE midweek edition, host Patrick Henningsen speaks with guest, international human rights lawyer Arnaud Develay, about about Trump and Israel's war on the International Criminal Court in The Hague - in their dangerous attempt to derail the criminal case against Israeli war criminals PM Netanyahu and Yoav Gallant. With an unprecedented attack like this from a western power, what are the ramifications for International Law? Also, we probe Trump's off-the-cuff announcement in Saudi Arabia that Washington will be lifting sanctions on Al-Jolani's regime in Syria. But will it happen, especially after Marco Rubio balked on it, and then predicted a civil war breaking out in Syria? All this and more. *SUBSCRIBE/DONATE TO OUR MEDIA PLATFORM HERE: https://21w.co/support VISIT OUR AFFILIATE SPONSORS: New Dawn Magazine - world's best independent print publication: https://21w.co/nd203 Health Solutions - Shop at Clive de Carle: https://21w.co/shop-clive FOLLOW OUR TELEGRAM CHANNEL: https://t.me/My21wire

Welcome to The Times of Israel's Daily Briefing, your 20-minute audio update on what's happening in Israel, the Middle East and the Jewish world. Legal correspondent Jeremy Sharon and environmental reporter Sue Surkes join host Jessica Steinberg for today's episode. Following Israel's procedural victory at the International Criminal Court, in which the Jewish state argued it could challenge the court's jurisdiction to try Israeli citizens for war crimes, Sharon examines the basis for the jurisdiction reasoning and what it could mean going forward regarding the arrest warrants issued last year for Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and former defense minister Yoav Gallant. Sharon also discusses the potential for a constitutional crisis following the allegations made in writing to the High Court by Shin Bet chief Ronen Bar against Netanyahu. Now that Bar has backed up his initial claims with documentation and evidence in his affidavit to the High Court, Sharon says it will be far harder for the court to avoid ruling on the substantive issues of the case, potentially bringing the government and judiciary into direct conflict. A highly unusual shark attack in which an Israeli man was mauled to death brought visitors to the beach where it happened, reports Surkes, despite police attempts to keep people away. Surkes discusses the environmental changes that have affected shark behavior along the Israeli coast. Surkes also discusses her visit to the southern city of Ofakim and the neighborhood that was most heavily attacked on October 7, 2023, and how the small city has reacted, with community efforts to draw together in healing and unity.

When the International Criminal Court issued arrest warrants last year accusing Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and former defence minister Yoav Gallant of crimes against humanity, it seemed like a watershed moment. Global anger over Israel's war in Gaza had long been at boiling point, with people demanding justice for the victims of war. But to this day, they have not been arrested. At the same time, provisional measures issued by the International Court of Justice in early 2024 obliging Israel to facilitate the entry and distribution of aid in Gaza appear to have been ignored, according to humanitarian organisations. Without legal enforcement, the capabilities of the world's top court have come into question and the limitations of international law have became more evident. In recent months, civil society groups and national legal coalitions have begun to take matters into their own hands. Lawyers, activists and academics at a grassroots level are trying to prosecute and document what they allege to be Israeli war crimes. Some of them have already filed appeals to their domestic law enforcement to investigate Israeli soldiers who may have committed core international crimes in Gaza. In this episode of Beyond the Headlines, host Nada AlTaher looks at the efforts and challenges of legal mechanisms in delivering justice to Palestinian victims, both on an international scale and in domestic courts. She speaks to former ICC prosecutor Luis Moreno Ocampo, legal director and founder of the Public Interest Law Centre in the UK Paul Heron, and Israeli historian Lee Mordechai.

UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres said "Conditions for Palestinians in Gaza are appalling and apocalyptic. What we are seeing may well amount to the gravest international crimes." Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant, said, "We are fighting human animals and we are acting accordingly." Prominent Israeli scholars such as Omer Bartov, Raz Segal, Ilan Pappe, Lee Mordechai and Amos Goldberg, have all said Israel's actions in Gaza amount to genocide. Amnesty International, Human Rights Watch, Jewish Voice for Peace, and other organizations have also reached the same conclusion. Apart from the U.S., Canada, and a few European countries Israel is largely isolated internationally. Arrest warrants for Prime Minister Netanyahu and Yoav Gallant have been issued by the International Criminal Court. Israel's goal in Gaza has been made explicitly clear by Netanyahu on down: eliminate the Palestinians. Recorded at the University of Wisconsin.

Since the October 7th attacks by Hamas on Israel, and the IDF military invasion of the Gaza strip, terms like 'war crimes', 'crimes against humanity' and 'genocide' have been used when discussing the conflict.Warrants have been issued by the International Criminal Court in the Hague for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, his former defence minister Yoav Gallant, and a Hamas commander Mohammed Deif - who has since died in an air strike - citing allegations of war crimes and crimes against humanity.In this special episode of the Law Show, we'll ask what are the legal definitions of these terms, how victims in a conflict situation can seek justice, and we'll explain the difficulties of gathering evidence in war and proving claims in an international court.

Our first interview, “Four Days in October,” focused on the intense deliberations that took place behind closed doors regarding the possibility of Israel responding to its stronger adversary first, Hezbollah in Lebanon, rather than Hamas in the Gaza Strip. If you have not heard or seen that interview, you can find it here. For the second interview in our series with General Gallant, we focused on the most difficult aspect of this war - the hostages in Gaza and the efforts to bring them home.Yoav Gallant served as Israel's Defense Minister from 2022 until 2024. He was fired by Benjamin Netanyahu twice in those two years, first in 2023, when massive protests in Israel led Netanyahu to reverse his decision, then again in November of 2024. Gallant is a member of Netanyahu's Likud party. His military career spans five decades, beginning in 1977 as a naval commando in Shayetet 13, and serving as chief of the IDF's Southern Command during Operation Cast Lead, an early war with Hamas that lasted from late 2008 to early 2009. CREDITS:ILAN BENATAR - Producer & EditorMARTIN HUERGO - Sound EditorYARDENA SCHWARTZ - Executive Editor of Ark MediaGABE SILVERSTEIN - Research Intern YUVAL SEMO - Music ComposerAMIEL SHAPIRO - Voice Actor

President Donald Trump het ʼn uitvoerende bevel onderteken om sanksies teen die Internasionale Strafhof in te stel en beskuldig die hof van ongegronde en onwettige optrede teen Amerika en Israel. Dit stel finansiële sanksies in en keer visums vir strafhof-werknemers en hulle gesinne wat gehelp het met ondersoeke na Amerikaanse burgers of hul bondgenote. Die strafhof het in November lasbriewe vir inhegtenisneming uitgereik vir Israel se eerste minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, en sy destydse minister van Verdediging, Yoav Gallant, vir misdade teen die mensdom en oorlogsmisdade. Die bevel sê die hof bedreig Amerikaanse soewereiniteit. Die hof se hoofaanklaer, Karim Khan het verlede jaar in Mei met Christiane Amanpour gepraat oor dreigement deur Amerika oor die Israeli-sanksies.

Real 'progress' made in Gaza truce talks — Biden "United States President Joe Biden said there has been ""real progress"" toward a Gaza ceasefire deal between Israel and Hamas. Meanwhile, the humanitarian crisis deepens as the death toll surpasses 46,000 due to Israel's ongoing genocidal war against Palestinians in Gaza since October 7, 2023, with the majority of casualties being women and children and 109,378 others reported wounded." US passes bill targeting ICC sanctions over Netanyahu warrants "The US House of Representatives passed a bill, with 243 votes to 140 in favour, sanctioning the International Criminal Court in response to arrest warrants issued against Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his former defence minister Yoav Gallant. The bill, dubbed the ""Illegitimate Court Counteraction Act,"" backed by both Republicans and some Democrats, aims to protect US citizens and allies from ICC investigations. The Senate is expected to swiftly pass the legislation, allowing President-elect Donald Trump to sign it into law. The ICC issued the warrants in November 2024 for war crimes committed during Israel's Gaza invasion." Protests in Mozambique turn deadly as opposition leader Mondlane returns "At least three people were killed by police in Mozambique as they gathered to welcome opposition leader Venancio Mondlane, who returned from exile following controversial election results. Mondlane, who claims to have won the election, rejects the official results. His return sparked protests, leading to clashes with police. Nearly 300 people have killed since post-election protests erupted in October. Mondlane called for accountability and justice, but his return could further escalate tensions." Lebanese parliament elects army chief Joseph Aoun as president "Lebanese lawmakers have elected Army Chief Joseph Aoun as the country's new president. Aoun secured 99 out of 128 votes in the second round of voting. The presidency has been vacant since October 2022, creating political instability. It comes amidst international pressure to fill the position, particularly due to an impending deadline for a ceasefire agreement in south Lebanon." Wildfires in California may become the costliest disaster in US history "Wildfires in Los Angeles are on track to become the most expensive disaster in US history, with economic losses expected to approach 50 billion dollars, nearly doubling earlier estimates. Insured losses could exceed 20 billion dollars, with figures rising if fires remain uncontrolled. The death toll has climbed to seven while President Joe Biden called the-fires the worst in California's history and pledged additional federal support. Early reports indicate the event could rival past catastrophic fires like the 2018 Camp Fire, which saw insured losses of 12.5 billion dollars."

Welcome to The Times of Israel's Daily Briefing, your 20-minute audio update on what's happening in Israel, the Middle East and the Jewish world. US bureau chief Jacob Magid joins host Jessica Steinberg on today's show. Magid discusses why former defense minister Yoav Gallant resigned from the Knesset, which appears to be primarily due to his opposition to legislation that would allow ultra-Orthodox men exemptions from army service. The move is somewhat confusing, given that Gallant's vote could have made a difference regarding certain legislation, but he seems to be leaving as a political move, to cement his future possibilities. Magid looks at why the hostage talks are reported to have stalled, with obstacles that included Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's not offering a viable alternative as to who would fill the void of Hamas leadership in Gaza, and the Hamas stance that it can't locate all the remaining hostages held in Gaza. He also reviews a Palestinian Authority crackdown on armed terror groups in Jenin in the northern West Bank, and its relationship to the fall of Assad to rebel groups in Syria. Criticism of the Palestinian Authority's activity was broadcast on Al Jazeera, and the news channel was then barred temporarily from the West Bank. For news updates, please check out The Times of Israel’s ongoing live blog.

First up on today's wide-ranging show, Ralph speaks to political scientist Adolph Reed about how American politics has started taking its cues from professional wrestling and how the left can rebuild itself. Then, we welcome Steve Silberstein from National Popular Vote to update us on their interstate compact's progress. Finally, we're joined by three interns from the American Museum of Tort Law—Dylan Bird, Gabriel Duffany, and Rachel Donovan discuss a rather unique summer assignment.Adolph Reed is Professor Emeritus of political science at the University of Pennsylvania and an organizer with the Debs-Jones-Douglass Institute's Medicare for All-South Carolina initiative, and co-host of Class Matters Podcast. His most recent books are The South: Jim Crow and Its Afterlives and (with Walter Benn Michaels) No Politics but Class Politics.One of the things that struck me, especially, is during the pandemic it was striking to see how much full-blown animus toward government— or toward the idea of public and public goods—that there is out there in society at large. And we know Heritage (and the rest of the reactionary, the Koch brothers) have been fueling that and stoking that kind of resentment for as long as they've been around, frankly, right…But what's different is that since the Clinton years, the Democrats have been just as likely to attack the idea of government or public goods and public services, right? And they're more likely to do it backhandedly…So there hasn't been any space for people to connect even the fact that they like to go to the public library or like to use the public park with this bipartisan, full-bore attack on the idea of government. And that has gone so far and so deeply within society.Adolph ReedSteve Silberstein founded and served as the first president of Innovative Interfaces Inc., a leading supplier of computer software for the automation of college and city libraries. Mr. Silberstein sold his interest in the company in 2001 and now devotes his time to philanthropic and civic matters, one of which is sitting on the Board of Directors of National Popular Vote.Of the states that have passed [the National Popular Vote compact], it's mostly been with Democratic votes. Because for a while there's been a theory that Republicans couldn't win the national popular vote. That's why they opposed it. But now that they have actually won the popular vote this time around, that theory which caused some of them to oppose it has gone by the wayside.Steve SilbersteinThere's no reason for [Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, and Michigan being “swing states”]. You know, those states didn't even exist when the constitution was established. It's just purely an accident…Those states are not typical of the United States—each state is unique in some way. So, Wisconsin has a big dairy industry. Pennsylvania has coal mining or fracking or something like that. So the candidates just concentrate on those—what are really very obscure issues to most of the people in the country. These states are not typical. They are not representative in any way shape or form of the rest of the country.Steve SilbersteinDylan Bird is a sophomore at St Lawrence University, pursuing a double major in Global Studies and Spanish on a Pre Law Track. Gabriel Duffany is a sophomore at the University of Connecticut, pursuing a double major in Human Rights and Communication also on a Pre Law Track, and he is an intern at the American Museum of Tort Law. Rachel Donovan is the Outreach Coordinator at the American Museum of Tort Law, and she is pursuing studies in education. All three recently worked as summer interns at the American Museum of Tort Law in the VoxBox Civic Engagement Summer Course, and they participated in Ralph Nader's Dictionary Pilot.It's a very daunting task when somebody hands you a full dictionary—over a thousand pages or so—and asks you to read it front-to-back. Once you start to actually sink your teeth into it…I actually found it to be a very positive experience. Rather than simply looking up individual words and ending your journey there, the goal really becomes the exploration of knowledge.Dylan BirdFor me, what really did stand out wasn't the individual words. It was more so the process of defining that I found the most compelling. So it showed up to me in the linguistic sense that these aren't exact definitions here. They're more so measurements, gauges of people's public opinions and definitions that would shift over time. So it was interesting to see how the evolution of words came, how meanings evolved over time with new technologies, new cultural moments. And as a news writer, I found that fascinating—the complexities of a word, the connotations that go with it, they can make or break the framing of any certain topic.Gabriel DuffanyI think that this project could be very important for students of all ages because it's not often that you would use a physical dictionary very much anymore—versus just going online and looking up a word. And now multiple definitions could come up—you may not even find exactly what you're looking for, because words undergo new meanings on a near-daily basis. And I think having the chance to read the original definition may give students new meanings to words that they may have thought they had the knowledge of due to social media.Rachel DonovanNews 12/25/241. On December 19th, the Teamsters announced they would launch “the largest strike against Amazon in U.S. history.” This strike covers nearly 10,000 Amazon workers who have joined the Teamsters, with workers taking to the picket line in New York City Atlanta, Southern California, San Francisco and Skokie, Illinois. Teamsters President Sean O'Brien is quoted saying “If your package is delayed during the holidays, you can blame Amazon's insatiable greed. We gave Amazon a clear deadline to come to the table and do right by our members. They ignored it…This strike is on them.” Scenes from this strike went viral over the holidays; one video posted by Labor Notes journalist Luis Feliz Leon shows NYPD officers guarding a path for Amazon trucks to depart after clearing away a blockade by striking workers – in case you were wondering whose side the cops are on.2. In more Amazon union news, INDY Week's Lena Geller reports that on December 23rd Amazon workers filed for a union election at the RDU1 warehouse in Garner, North Carolina. These workers are organizing under the auspices of Carolina Amazonians for Solidarity and Empowerment, aka CAUSE, which states that “despite an illegal campaign of intimidation by Amazon, which is desperate to keep unions out to continue paying poverty wages and failing to improve dismal work conditions,” the union believes they have “easily” exceeded the 30% card check threshold to demand an election. If successful, RDU1 would become the first unionized Amazon facility in the South.3. Independent investigative journalists Ken Klippenstein and Dan Boguslaw are out with a report on a potential conflict of interest in the Luigi Mangione prosecution. Apparently, “Magistrate Judge Katharine H. Parker, who is overseeing pre-trial hearings for…Mangione, is married to a former Pfizer executive.” Judge Parker's husband, Bret Parker, had served as Vice President and assistant general counsel at Wyeth, and held the same titles after that company was purchased by Pfizer. According to financial disclosures, Mr. Parker still collects a pension from Pfizer in the form of a “Senior Executive Retirement Plan.” The Parkers also own hundreds of thousands of dollars' worth of stock in Pfizer itself, along with other pharmaceutical, biotechnology, and healthcare companies. These holdings raise grave questions about the impartiality of this judge.4. In more news from New York, Gothamist reports New York Governor Kathy Hochul has vetoed a bill which would have “reversed New York's longstanding ban on jury service for anyone convicted of felonies at any point in their lives. If enacted, the bill would have allowed people with felony convictions to serve only after completing their sentences, including parole.” This bill passed with the support of the New York Civil Liberties Union and Phil Desgranges, an attorney at The Legal Aid Society, called this bill “common-sense legislation.” State Senator Jabari Brisport wrote “Fun fact about [New York] politics. The Governor has until end of year to sign bills so she usually waits until [the] holiday season and vetoes a bunch right before Christmas, hoping no one notices.” The Gothamist piece notes that Hochul vetoed 132 bills over the weekend.5. Turning to Israel, a remarkable story in unfolding around the 80th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz. According to Democracy Now!, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is planning to skip the anniversary “out of fears he might be arrested for committing war crimes in Gaza.” As we have documented on this program, the International Criminal Court issued arrest warrants for Netanyahu and his former defense minister Yoav Gallant in November, and since then various countries have grappled with their obligations under international law to arrest the pair. While certain ICC signatory nations like Germany and France have sought to weasel out of these commitments, according to this report, “Poland's deputy foreign minister recently confirmed Poland would comply with the ICC arrest warrants if Netanyahu visited.”6. On the domestic front, newly elected Congressional Progressive Caucus chair Greg Casar has sent a letter to Secretary of State Antony Blinken and Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin demanding that the Biden administration withhold new transfers of offensive weaponry to the Israeli military. In this letter, he and other progressive members of Congress make clear that the administration itself has “correctly identified steps the Israeli government must take in order for continued transfers…to be in accordance with U.S. law,” and that “the Israeli government has failed to take sufficient action or change course.” This letter is signed by 20 members of Congress including Casar himself along with Summer Lee, James McGovern, Mark Pocan, Pramila Jayapal, Sara Jacobs, AOC, Rashida Tlaib, and others.7. In a stunning story picked up by POLITICO, Republican Congresswoman Kay Granger – chair of the critical House Appropriations Committee until last April – has been missing in action for months. Despite continuing to hold her Texas seat, she has not cast a vote at all since July. Calls to her office went unanswered and unreturned. Visits to her office found it vacant. And when investigative reporters sought her out, they wound up finding her in an assisted living facility wracked with dementia. This story is tragic; Granger's son has spoken out since publication, addressing how rapidly his mother's mental decline has progressed. Yet, this is just the most striking example of the gerontocracy that has gripped Capitol Hill. And at least Granger had the sense remaining to recuse herself from votes; rebellious Republican Congressman Thomas Massie of Kentucky is quoted saying he's “more concerned about the congressmen who have dementia and are still voting.”8. Moving to some good news, the Federal Trade Commission announced last week that they, along with the Attorney General of Illinois, have reached a $25 million settlement with food delivery giant GrubHub, stemming from the firm's engagement in “an array of unlawful practices including deceiving diners about delivery costs and blocking their access to their accounts and funds, deceiving workers about how much money they would make delivering food, and unfairly and deceptively listing restaurants on its platform without their permission.” In addition to the monetary penalty, the company must make significant changes to its operations model, including “telling consumers the full cost of delivery, honestly advertising pay for drivers, and listing restaurants on its platform only with their consent.” This is a victory for consumers, workers, restaurants, but perhaps above all, the rule of law. As FTC Chair Lina Khan puts it “There is no ‘gig platform' exemption to the laws on the books.”9. On December 23rd, President Biden announced that he would commute the death sentences for 37 out of the 40 federal prisoners on death row, in a major victory for ending executions by the state. These sentences have been commuted to life in prison without the possibility of parole. In a statement, Biden wrote “I've dedicated my career to reducing violent crime and ensuring a fair and effective justice system…Make no mistake: I condemn these murderers, grieve for the victims of their despicable acts, and ache for all the families who have suffered unimaginable and irreparable loss. But… I am more convinced than ever that we must stop the use of the death penalty at the federal level.” He ends this statement by alluding to the fact that as president he has imposed a moratorium on federal executions and fears that the incoming Trump administration will resume state-sponsored killings. Per AP, the three inmates whose sentences were not commuted are: Dylann Roof, the Mother Emanuel AME Church shooter, Boston bomber Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, and Tree of Life Synagogue shooter Robert Bowers.10. Finally, on Christmas Eve, Bernie Sanders issued a statement laying out “How to Make America Healthy Again,” echoing the language used by Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Under Bernie's plan, this initiative would include Medicare for All, lowering the cost of prescription drugs, paid family and medical leave, a 32-hour work week, raising the minimum wage, and reforms to the food industry itself, such as banning junk food ads and stronger warning labels on high-sugar products. As with Bernie's qualified embrace of the “Department of Government Efficiency” this should be seen as a savvy move to call the Trump team's bluff. Will they really go after big sugar? Or will they bend the knee to their corporate benefactors yet again?This has been Francesco DeSantis, with In Case You Haven't Heard.

durée : 00:58:32 - Cultures Monde - par : Julie Gacon, Margaux Leridon - Le 21 novembre, la Cour pénale internationale lançait des mandats d'arrêt contre Benyamin Nétanyahou et son ancien ministre de la Défense Yoav Gallant. Une décision qui engage vraisemblablement l'existence de la Cour, car elle vise pour la première fois un chef d'État allié des pays occidentaux. - réalisation : Margot Page - invités : Anne-Laure Chaumette Professeure de droit international à l'université Paris Nanterre, membre du CEDIN (Centre de droit international de Nanterre); Insaf Rezagui Docteure en droit international à l'Université Paris Cité, chercheuse associée à l'Institut français du Proche-Orient (Jérusalem), membre du comité de rédaction de la revue Yaani ; Damien Scalia Professeur de droit à l'Université libre de Bruxelles

In this monthly recap, we take you through the two key moments of November '24. Firstly, we take a look at the details of the ceasefire agreement between Hezbollah and Israel, specifically looking to see whether it will hold, and if so, who does that make the winner of this war? Secondly, we briefly touch on the ICC's decision to issue arrest warrants for Benjamin Netanyahu and Yoav Gallant. What does this mean for them? Will all countries abide by the Rome Statute? Listen to find out more.

The International Criminal Court issued arrest warrants for individual Israeli and Hamas leaders, charging them with crimes against humanity. The accusations against Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his former defense chief Yoav Gallant involve the intentional murder of Palestinian civilians and starvation as a method of war. Since invading Gaza in the aftermath of the Hamas atrocities of Oct. 7, 2023, Israel has killed tens of thousands of Palestinian women and children while utterly destroying most of Gaza's civilian infrastructure. Jewish settlers are said to be waiting to move into the northern Gaza Strip now that it has been emptied of Palestinians. Is it genocide? In this episode, historian Omer Bartov explains why he believes Israel's actions amount to the "intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial or religious group, as such."

Last week, the International Criminal Court issued arrest warrants for the Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his former defence minister Yoav Gallant. It was a rare moment of hope for Palestinians, but the US government responded with outrage.Earlier this year, a report by the Guardian and +972 Magazine showed that Israel had been spying on the ICC for a number of years. The aim of the espionage was to keep track of which particular allegations of war crimes were being investigated by the ICC. Israel would then start its own investigation retroactively into the same allegations. This was designed to undercut the ICC and make it possible for people like US State Department spokesman Matthew Miller to speak about the virtues of the Israeli court system.Our guest today for a conversation about the ICC arrest warrants is John Reynolds. John is a professor of law at Maynooth University and the author of Empire, Emergency and International Law.

This past Thursday, the International Criminal Court (ICC) issued arrest warrants for Israel's prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, and Israel's former defense minister, Yoav Gallant. The warrants were issued on charges of attempting to orchestrate starvation as a method of warfare, and crimes against humanity, of “murder and persecution”, in the ICC's terms. A warrant was also issued for Hamas leader Mohammed Deif, who was killed in an airstrike in Gaza in July.To help us understand the ICC; its role, jurisdiction and credibility; and the wide range of implications of these arrest warrants, our guest is Natasha Hausdorff.Natasha is a British barrister and expert on international law, foreign affairs, and national security policy.

The International Criminal Court issued arrest warrants for Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and former Defense Minister Yoav Gallant this week. This is the first time the court has ever targeted leaders from a democratic country. PM Netanyahu responded saying: "The antisemitic decision of the international court in The Hague is a modern Dreyfus trial, and it will end the same way. It is falsely accusing me, the democratically elected prime minister of the State of Israel and Israel's former defense minister Yoav Gallant, of deliberately targeting civilians, this when we do everything in our power to avoid civilian casualties." Netanyahu and Gallant might have to avoid visiting certain countries in Europe and Canada as a result of the decision. It is believed that once President Trump is in office, he will target the ICC for their unjust and illegitimate ruling. This story and much more news from Israel, on this week's Israel Uncensored, with Josh Hasten.

Welcome to The Times of Israel's Daily Briefing, your 20-minute audio update on what's happening in Israel, the Middle East and the Jewish world. Editor David Horovitz joins host Amanda Borschel-Dan for today's episode. In a speech today in Istanbul, Turkey's President Recep Tayyip Erdogan praised the “courageous decision” of the International Criminal Court to seek the arrest of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and former defense minister Yoav Gallant. The ICC issued the warrants against the Israeli leaders and Hamas military chief Mohammed Deif on Thursday on charges of crimes against humanity and war crimes in the Gaza conflict. We discuss how this as a new line in the sand for Israel-supporting countries. Yesterday, new Defense Minister Israel Katz announced an end to administrative detention orders for West Bank settlers. Almost on the heels of this announcement, several dozen Jewish extremists in Hebron for an annual pilgrimage tried to attack the head of the IDF Central Command Maj. Gen. Avi Bluth. Five were arrested. Horovitz weighs in on this announcement and other unsettling news regarding settlers this week. In a highly unusual move, the State Prosecutor's Office on Friday published a rebuttal to allegations that it has been selectively enforcing the law concerning leaked intelligence information with the grave charges it has brought against Eli Feldstein, a spokesman for Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, and an unnamed IDF reservist, in relation to the leak of a stolen, classified document to German newspaper Bild. A second PMO spokesman, Jonathan Urich, was questioned by the Israel Police's Lahav 433 major crimes unit for a second time on Wednesday as part of the probe. Horovitz discusses the prosecutor's unusual move to publish a Q&A on the case and raises other outstanding questions surrounding it.

Discussed articles include: UK indicates it could arrest Netanyahu on ICC warrant, as Hungary invites him to visit Analysts warn ICC arrest warrants could pave way to future arms embargoes on Israel Defense minister declares end to administrative detention against West Bank settlers Several dozen Jewish extremists in Hebron try to attack IDF's top West Bank commander Troops smuggled settler leader into Gaza to survey settlement options – report State prosecution posts rare rebuttal of ‘misinformation' relating to PMO intel leak case Report: Netanyahu adviser Urich questioned for second time in document leak case Subscribe to The Times of Israel Daily Briefing on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube, or wherever you get your podcasts.

The Legal Walls Are Closing In On Benjamin Netanyahu w/ Max Blumenthal From the Dimitri Lascaris podcast Watch it on YouTube On November 21, 2024, the International Criminal Court finally issued warrants for the arrest of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and for Yoav Gallant, the former Israeli Defence Minister whom Netanyahu recently fired. On the same day, Israeli prosecutors indicted an aide to Netanyahu, Eli Feldstein, on a "grave" charge of harming state security, as part of the security documents scandal that has roiled Netanyahu's office in recent weeks. Max Blumenthal, editor-in-chief of The Grayzone, joined Dimitri Lascaris to discuss these developments. Blumenthal and Lascaris also discussed a new scandal engulfing the Israeli military. This week, in south Lebanon, Zeev Erlich, an "amateur Israeli historian" who lives illegally in the occupied West Bank, was killed by Hezbollah fighters while Erlich was accompanied by the chief of staff of Israel's 'elite' Golani Brigade. The Israeli military claims that Erlich did not have proper authorization to enter south Lebanon, but in fact, Erlich appears to have entered the area on multiple occasions in order to construct a fake narrative that south Lebanon historically belongs to Israel. Finally, Blumenthal and Lascaris discussed the withdrawal of Matt Gaetz as Trump's nominee for the position of U.S. Attorney General.

In news that was somehow both genuinely surprising and 100 percent predictable, former Florida Rep. Matt Gaetz withdrew from consideration to be the next U.S. Attorney General on Thursday. If President-elect Donald Trump was upset about the whole thing, he didn't show it. Within hours, he had a new pick for the job: Former Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi, another longtime MAGA devotee. Still, it's also not like Gaetz was Trump's only problematic nominee, and it's not clear how many of the others will actually make it through the Senate confirmation process. Tim Miller, host of The Bulwark podcast and a former Republican strategist, explains what Gaetz's withdrawal means for the rest of Trump's nominees. And headlines: The International Criminal Court issued arrest warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his former defense minister Yoav Gallant, CNN released old tape of RFK Jr. comparing Trump to Hitler, and the Justice Department wants Google to sell off Chrome.Show Notes:Check out Tim's pod – https://www.thebulwark.com/Subscribe to the What A Day Newsletter – https://tinyurl.com/3kk4nyz8What A Day – YouTube – https://www.youtube.com/@whatadaypodcastFollow us on Instagram – https://www.instagram.com/crookedmedia/For a transcript of this episode, please visit crooked.com/whataday

The International Criminal Court (ICC) has issued arrest warrants against Benjamin Netanyahu, his former defence minister Yoav Gallant as well as – separately – for Hamas military leader, Mohammed Deif. They are all wanted for alleged war crimes, but specifically regarding Netanyahu and Gallant the ICC say that, 'each bear criminal responsibility for ... the war crime of starvation as a method of warfare; and the crimes against humanity of murder, persecution, and other inhumane acts.' So why have these warrants been issued now? And what are the implications for Labour's relationship with Israel?   Oscar Edmondson speaks to James Heale and Tom Gross, commentator on the Middle East.  

It's Friday, November 22nd, A.D. 2024. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 125 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Adam McManus Anti-Christian hate crimes in Turkey have doubled The number of anti-Christian hate crimes in Turkey more than doubled from 2021 to 2023, according to an International Christian Concern analysis.  The Freedom of Belief Initiative, a religious freedom watchdog group, reports that hate crimes against Christ followers in Turkey jumped from 10 in 2021 to 22 in 2023.   Since 2020, Christians have experienced most of the religious hate crimes committed in Turkey, with 52 occurrences reported. The crimes include property damage, harassment, and violence.  In John 15:20, Jesus said, “If they persecuted Me, they will also persecute you.” Int'l Criminal Court issues arrest warrant for Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu In a shocking development, the International Criminal Court issued formal arrest warrants yesterday for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and former Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant for alleged Israeli “crimes against humanity” and “war crimes” committed in Gaza.   Gary Bauer, Founder of Campaign for Working Families, wrote, “Israel is fighting an existential war against Islamic supremacists who have promised a second Holocaust and vowed to destroy the state of Israel. And the International Criminal Court wants to put Benjamin Netanyahu and Yoav Gallant on trial?   “This is what happens when nations surrender their sovereignty to globalist world government. The International Criminal Court is a creation of the United Nations, but functions independently of the U.N. The United States and Israel wisely opposed the creation of the International Criminal Court.” Bauer concluded, “Donald Trump imposed sanctions on International Criminal Court officials when they tried to go after U.S. troops who fought in Afghanistan. The Biden/Harris administration repealed those sanctions. This insane action ensures that the Trump/Vance administration will terminate any and all support for the International Criminal Court.” Matt Gaetz withdraws his name from U.S. Attorney General consideration Former GOP Congressman Matt Gaetz of Florida, a Trump loyalist, withdrew his name for U.S. Attorney General yesterday, reports NBC News. He tweeted, "It is clear that my confirmation was unfairly becoming a distraction to the critical work of the Trump/Vance Transition. There is no time to waste on a needlessly protracted Washington scuffle, thus I'll be withdrawing my name from consideration to serve as Attorney General. Trump's Department of Justice must be in place and ready on Day 1.” Gaetz's path to being confirmed by the U.S. Senate was mired by a series of allegations of sexual misconduct, including his hiring prostitutes and having an intimate encounter with a minor at a 2017 party, according to leaks from the House Ethics Committee. The New York Times had reported that Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky, Senators Lisa Murkowski of Alaska and Susan Collins of Maine, and Senator-elect John Curtis of Utah had all indicated they would not confirm Gaetz as Attorney General. With a 53-member majority, four defections would be enough to defeat the nomination. Will Gov. Ron DeSantis appoint Gaetz as Senator to replace Marco Rubio? Questions have swirled on whether Florida Governor Ron DeSantis will now nominate Gaetz as his state's next senator. DeSantis must appoint a replacement for Senator Marco Rubio, who was tapped as Trump's secretary of state, should the Senate confirm him. Under the U.S. Constitution and Florida state law, the governor has the power to fill vacancies in the U.S. Senate while voters decide who fills empty seats in the U.S. House. Senator Marco Rubio of Florida was re-elected in 2022. That means whoever replaces him will serve until 2026, when a special election will ensue to determine who holds the seat for the rest of his term until 2028. Sources close to DeSantis say it's unlikely he'll appoint Gaetz. Trump taps Florida's former Attorney General to be U.S. Attorney General President-elect Donald Trump announced former Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi as his nominee for U.S. attorney general, reports The Epoch Times. On Truth Social, Trump wrote, “Pam was a prosecutor for nearly 20 years, where she was very tough on violent criminals, and made the streets safe for Florida families.” Bondi also served as Florida's attorney general from 2011 to 2019. The president-elect said that as the state's first female attorney general, Bondi “worked to stop the trafficking of deadly drugs, and reduce the tragedy of fentanyl overdose deaths, which have destroyed many families across our country.” MSNBC's Joe & Mika met with President-elect Trump after calling him Hitler On Comedy Central's The Daily Show, Jon Stewart, a liberal comedian, got a chuckle out of the recent visit made by MSNBC's top liberals, Joe and Mika Scarborough, who were willing to sit down with President-elect Trump at Mar-a-Lago in Palm Beach, Florida.  STEWART: “Joe and Mika Brzezinski Scarborough, who famously warned of the growing threat of Trump's fascism, also had an interesting announcement to make.” MIKA SCARBOROUGH: “Last Thursday, we expressed our own concerns on this broadcast, and even said we would appreciate the opportunity to speak with the president elect himself. “On Friday, we were given the opportunity to do just that. Joe and I went to Mar-a-Lago to meet personally with President-elect Trump. And for those asking why we would go speak to the president elect during such fraught times, especially between us, I guess I would ask back, ‘Why wouldn't we?'" STEWART: “Because you said he was Hitler!" (laughter) Biden secretly awards Planned Parenthood leader And finally, in a secret ceremony, President Joe Biden gave the Medal of Freedom to Cecile Richards who aggressively ran the murder giant, Planned Parenthood, for 12 years, reports LifeNews.com. According to the Washington Times, “The ceremony was not listed on Mr. Biden's public schedule, nor was his decision to award the medal to Ms. Richards publicly announced until after the presentation. Members of the media were not invited to watch the ceremony.” Under Richards' leadership, Planned Parenthood pushed abortion on demand during all nine months of pregnancy. Despite the fact that she oversaw the systematic murders of  1.5 million pre-born babies every year, President Biden laughably called Cecile Richards “a leader of the utmost character.” However, Isaiah 59:7 describes Cecile Richards more accurately. “Their feet rush into sin; they are swift to shed innocent blood. They pursue evil schemes; acts of violence mark their ways.” Close And that's The Worldview on this Friday, November 22nd, in the year of our Lord 2024. Subscribe by Amazon Music or by iTunes or email to our unique Christian newscast at www.TheWorldview.com.

Here are 3 big things you need to know—   One — President Biden says the ICC arrest warrant for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is outrageous.  The International Criminal Court issued warrants on Thursday for Netanyahu and his former defense secretary Yoav Gallant, accusing them of war crimes in the Gaza Strip.   Two ---- Gaza protestors have filed a federal lawsuit against the city of Detroit for violating their right to free speech.  A group called the "Ceasefire Choir" sang for peace and an end to the war in Gaza in 2023 and January 2024 at Campus Martius Park and were told by security they had to leave.  The city is not commenting on the lawsuit and says they will respond in court.  And number three — Home sales are up. According to the National Association of Realtors, sales of previously owned homes went up three-point-four percent from September to October. That's also nearly three-percent higher than October 2023. It's the first annual increase in more than three years.

The International Criminal Court issued arrest warrants on Thursday for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, his former defense minister Yoav Gallant, as well as top Hamas leaders, over the Israel-Hamas war. Netanyahu condemned the arrest warrant against him, saying Israel “rejects with disgust the absurd and false actions.”Ukraine claimed Thursday that Russia launched an intercontinental ballistic missile overnight at one of its cities, without providing any evidence. But American officials said an initial U.S. assessment indicated the strike was carried out with an intermediate-range ballistic missile, not an ICBM.TSA expects a potentially record-breaking Thanksgiving travel season, with some of the busiest travel days in US history next week.

Last night in Israel, in what came as a shock to many Israelis, Prime Minister Netanyahu fired Defense Minister Yoav Gallant.  At the same time, there was a Red Wave that swept through U.S. politics. As Israelis and Americans simultaneously process these two 180 degree pivots in their respective political systems, we are joined by two CallMeBack regulars to discuss both stories: Nadav Eyal is a columnist for Yediiot. He is one of Israel's leading journalists. Eyal has been covering Middle-Eastern and international politics for the last two decades for Israeli radio, print and television news. Amit Segal is the chief political correspondent and analyst for Channel 12 News, and for Yediot Ahronot, the country's largest circulation newspaper.

We've released a few episodes on Honestly for the anniversary of October 7. Today, we're bringing you one more conversation with someone who has been breaking news on the ground every single day of this war: journalist Trey Yingst. On the morning of October 7, Trey was in Israel's south, reporting on the massacre as it unfolded. He saw bodies dragged into vehicles, mothers trying to save their children, and the bloodshed—unlike anything he had ever seen—in the communities and kibbutzim. He reported these stories live on Fox—in many instances while rockets rained down on him and his crew, who often didn't have time to take shelter. He remembers those early hours and days as “a true horror movie.”  That was just the beginning of his reporting on the unfolding war, which has taken him into Gaza and more recently on an embed with Israeli troops into southern Lebanon. He tells these stories in his new book Black Saturday, which chronicles his reporting over the last year and the very real human stories of this war, both from the perspective of Israelis and Palestinian civilians in Gaza. Trey is the chief foreign correspondent for Fox News. He has reported from the front lines in Ukraine, Afghanistan, and Pakistan, and since 2018, he's been based in Israel. He says he tries to talk to everyone involved in the conflict, and he's gone a long way toward doing so. He's interviewed the leaders of Hamas and Islamic Jihad, and he's sat down on the Israeli side with everyone from Benjamin Netanyahu to Yoav Gallant. If you're someone listening who holds stereotypes about what a Fox correspondent might sound like, Trey will surprise you. Trey has unconventional and strongly held views about the future of the region, about whether Hamas can ever be defeated, and about what should happen next in the war. Most of all, he has an unwavering commitment to a kind of old-school journalism that tells stories of human beings in times of war, whatever side of the border they fall on.  If you liked what you heard from Honestly, the best way to support us is to go to TheFP.com and become a Free Press subscriber today.
