While Biden talked about Israel withdrawing from more populated areas of Gaza, Abdullah al-Arian, professor of history at Georgetown University, Qatar, says it isn’t known if there is an acknowledgement from the US that Israel will remain occupying parts of Gaza even after the ceasefire is reached. “I think this is a major sticking point and one that Palestinians have continuously rejected that any part of Gaza should remain occupied,” he told Al Jazeera. “There’s a major contradiction here and the fact that both the US and the Israeli side have said on the one hand, that they don’t want a future in Gaza in which Hamas has any kind […]
Al Jazeera’s political analyst, Marwan Bishara, says that, statistically, if the US were Gaza, Israel would have caused 16 million American casualties, of which 2 million would be dead children. He says the Israelis use propaganda to suggest “they care for human life”, when in fact they are committing war crimes.

Al Jazeera’s senior political analyst, Marwan Bishara, commented on the United Nations Security Council meeting regarding the war in Gaza. Bishara noted the powerful speech by Palestinian representative Majed Bamya, who vividly described the suffering of Palestinians and the dehumanisation they endure. He emphasised the stark contrast between the Israeli and Palestinian narratives, highlighting the zero-sum game often presented by Israel. Bishara observed that the Palestinian representative advocated for peace, ceasefire, and negotiations, while the Israeli stance focused on the necessity of war. This dichotomy between the war camp and peace camp was evident at the Security Council and reflected globally. Bishara also remarked on the influence of global peace […]

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 […]

Geoffrey Nice, a British barrister and judge, says the International Criminal Court has jurisdiction in Gaza, and that he expects a prompt decision because no one involved with the processes of the law, with respect to Israel, dares to “move slowly”.

Al Jazeera correspondent Osama bin Javaid, reporting from The Global Security Forum in Doha, relayed reactions to the ICC’s announcement from both Israeli and Palestinian perspectives. 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 […]
