ICC's Arrest Threat Against Netanyahu Sparks Israeli Outrage

The International Criminal Court's (ICC) request for arrest warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Yoav Gallant, alongside Hamas leaders, on war crimes charges has shocked Israel. The move has sparked outrage in both Israel and America, with accusations of an unfair equivalence between Israel and Hamas. The ICC's focus on Israel's alleged use of starvation as a war tactic in Gaza has intensified the controversy, despite Israel's denials and claims of allowing aid convoys. The likelihood of a trial remains low, but the implications are significant for Israel's international standing.

Controversy Surrounds Israel's New National Guard and Its Potential Impact.

Israel's cabinet has approved the creation of a national guard under the control of the national-security minister, Itamar Ben-Gvir, a far-right politician who has been convicted of inciting racial hatred and supporting Jewish terrorist organizations. The force will have an initial strength of 1,800 officers and will be allocated 1bn shekels ($278m) for its first year of operation. Its main role will be to help out the police during emergencies. The move has provoked opposition from both law-enforcement officials and civilian critics of Mr Netanyahu’s government, who fear that the national guard will act as a publicly funded militia led by an ultra-nationalist.
