Mouin Rabbani, a non-resident fellow at the Center for Conflict and Humanitarian Studies in Doha, Qatar, noted that, unlike previous attacks by Israeli forces on Palestinian civilians, Israel now claims it is investigating the Rafah camp attack that killed 45 people. Rabbani told Al Jazeera that the recent developments, referred to as a “diplomatic tsunami”—including the International Court of Justice’s recent ruling and the International Criminal Court’s applications for arrest warrants—are gradually beginning to have an effect. He further commented on the broader international situation, stating that US President Joe Biden’s “red line” in Gaza appears to be a “river of Palestinian blood,” which senior US officials seem quite willing […]

Michael Martin also accused Israel of violating the International Criminal Court’s ruling, ordering its military to stop its offensive in Rafah. Spain’s Foreign Minister also urged Israel […]

I don’t know how long it will last because there must be cracks,” he told Al Jazeera. “Israelis should start to ask themselves, ‘Where is my responsibility’? Is it really only the world’s blame? Or maybe there were crimes of war in Gaza. Maybe our leaders […]
