Gideon Levy, a columnist for Israeli Haaretz newspaper, says the rise in Israeli soldiers’ death toll in Gaza has not made much of an impact on Israeli public opinion, the majority of which support continuing the war. “Thirteen soldiers [killed] is a hell of a price for Israel but 600 people in Gaza were killed this weekend,” Levy told Al Jazeera. Israeli army says 152 Israeli soldiers have so far been killed since the ground assault in Gaza began on October 27. Levy said he is “quite surprised” that pressure on Netanyahu has been “limited” so far. “There is pressure concerning only one issue – releasing the hostages. Everything else […]
Chris Gunness says what’s unfolding in Gaza is “an American-Israeli genocide – it’s not just an Israeli genocide”. “Just as America provides Israel with $4bn of military support per annum, it’s also – as we’ve seen tonight – providing Israel with diplomatic and political cover to continue with a genocide which is marked by the wholesale and industrial ignoring of international humanitarian law,” Gunness told Al Jazeera. He added that Israeli statements following the passage of the Security Council resolution make it clear the country plans to retain control of what goes into Gaza. “It’s clear that [Israel] as it’s done in the past, [intends] to have a veto over […]

Israel is stepping up its military operations – air attacks striking deeper into Lebanon. Overnight, it targeted a site in the Iqlim al-Tuffah region approximately 20km (12 miles) from the border, an area where Hezbollah has military assets. That could have been in response to Hezbollah firing surface-to-air missiles that exploded close to Israeli helicopters flying in Israeli air space close to the border. Both sides are sending messages to each other – a form of deterrence, “If you hit us, we are able to hit you.” The frequency of the attacks has increased, but it is still largely confined to the border area. Al Jazeera’s Zeina Khodr has the […]

Attacks by Yemen’s Iran-aligned Houthi militants on ships in the Red Sea are disrupting maritime trade and prompting U.S. efforts to build a coalition to deal with the threat, as freight firms reroute around the Cape of Good Hope to avoid the Suez Canal. The Houthi group said it launched a drone attack on two cargo vessels in the area on Mon-day, the latest in a series of missile and drone strikes on shipping which it says are a response to Israel’s assault on the Gaza Strip. Myles B. Caggins, a retired US Army Colonel and a senior fellow at the New Lines Institute who served as a spokesman for […]
