"...the House may vote as early as tomorrow on a bill that would impose sanctions on the #ICC, a blatant act of retaliation for its decision to issue the arrest warrants. House #Republicans are prioritizing protecting #Netanyahu — a wanted war criminal — from prosecution, so much so that it is one of the first bills they are bringing in the new Congress."

Quaker group pulls NYT ad over paper’s refusal to let it call Israel’s Gaza bombing ‘genocide’ (Guardian, 2025-01-08)

“The American Friends Service Committee (AFSC), a #Quaker organization that advocates for peace, said on Monday the group cancelled a planned advertisement in the New York Times in response to the paper refusing to allow it to refer to Israel’s actions in Gaza as a genocide.”

“According to the #AFSC press release, when the group refused [to use ‘war’ instead of ‘genocide’], the New York Times responded with an email that read, in part: ‘Various international bodies, human rights organizations, and governments have differing views on the situation. In line with our commitment to factual accuracy and adherence to legal standards, we must ensure that all advertising content complies with these widely applied definitions.’”

Trump would not elaborate on what he meant by his threat — first announced on social media in early December — that "all hell will break out" if a deal is not made.

"It will not be good for Hamas, and it will not be good, frankly, for anyone," Trump said.

I wonder if he's implying that this threat includes Israel. I'm probably being too hopeful, but maybe the Trump administration will actually compel Israel to negotiate a deal. It wouldn't be the first time a Republican president reined in Israel.

A 16-year-old Palestinian boy from the West Bank with an intellectual disability has been detained in Israel without trial for six months. His lawyer, Riham Nassra, says that he does not understand that he is in administrative detention, is unable to express himself and has faced ostracism and violence in custody due to his condition.

Administrative detention is arrest and detention in which no indictment is filed and the evidence against the suspect is not presented to their lawyer. It is usually based on classified intelligence, and the ostensible goal is to prevent future activity rather than as a punitive tool.

The teen's condition was not mentioned in the transcripts of the hearings on his administrative detention order; his lawyers argued in their request that his situation was not brought to the attention of the court. In response, the military prosecution argued that his medical status was presented to the courts that discussed the approval of the order, as well as to the chief of the IDF Central Command when he issued the order.

“Al Jazeera Media Network has strongly condemned the Palestinian Authority (PA) ban on its operations in the occupied West Bank this week, calling it an action that ‘aligns with Israeli occupation practises’”

“The PA’s decision to ban Al Jazeera mirrors Israel’s announcement last year that the channel would be banned in Israel and then its closure of the bureau in Ramallah.

“Here’s a breakdown of how Al Jazeera has been targeted by both the PA and Israel…”
