Gideon Levy, a columnist at Israel’s Haaretz newspaper, told Al Jazeera that he hopes that “Israelis will start to look upon themselves and not to blame the whole world for what’s going on”. “The notion right now in Israel, as usual, is that the whole world is against us, the whole world is anti-Semitic and let’s get together, we the victims of the world. 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 […]

Gideon Levy, a prominent columnist from Haaretz, expressed surprise at ICC Chief Prosecutor Karim Khan’s decisiveness but felt satisfaction that war crimes by both Hamas and Israel were being acknowledged. He predicted Israel would react defensively, portraying itself as a victim of global antisemitism, despite his belief in the justice of the decision. Diana Buttu, a lawyer who has represented the PLO, argued that the ICC’s balanced approach was driven by the scale of Israeli actions, which she characterized as genocidal. She criticized the […]
Daniel Levy, president of the US/Middle East Project, says that Israel’s goal for victory is defeating Hamas and that the “IDF has conspicuously failed” to do so.

US National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan says the Biden administration does not view the killings of Palestinians in Gaza by Israel as a genocide. “We do not believe what is happening in Gaza is a genocide. We have been firmly on record rejecting that proposition,” Sullivan said. Sullivan, speaking to reporters at the White House, said the US wants to see Hamas defeated, Palestinians caught in the middle of the war are in “hell” and a major military operation by Israel in Rafah would be a mistake. Jake Sullivan was questioned by Al Jazeera’s White House Correspondent, Kimberly Halkett.
