What to look for in the ICJ’s ‘provisional measures’ ruling on genocide in Gaza

‘Operation Al-Aqsa Flood’ Day 111: Hospitals under siege, UNRWA shelter bombed in southern Gaza

#israel / After a Decade Inside the Most Radical Circles of Israel's Far-right, He's Ready to Tell All
Q: Apropos tailor-made laws, the coalition agreement between Otzma Yehudit and #Likud stipulates that the clause in the law which prevents inciters to #racism from running for the #Knesset will be revoked. But it doesn’t seem to be on the agenda, from Ben-Gvir’s point of view.
“Correct – he understands that the way things are aligned politically does not enable this at the moment ... But Ben-Gvir isn’t really interested in this. He’s gathered around him a group that obeys his authority and does as he says. He has no interest in bringing Marzel and Ben-Ari back to the Knesset at this stage.
