Gerald Steinberg Quillette, Jan. 29, 2025 “Many members of the International Committee of the Red Cross—who visited Gaza, held press conferences and left without bringing holy hell down on Hamas, kicking and screaming and demanding that they see the hostages—have blood on their hands.” On 19 January 2025, following the conclusion of Israel’s ceasefire agreement […]
Tirza Short Jerusalem Center for Security and Foreign Affairs, Jan. 29, 2025 “Since the UN is the global arbiter of what is “politically correct,” the result has been the endowment of moral and political legitimacy to terrorist aggressors, negating the fundamental values of the international system.” The year 2025 marks the fiftieth anniversary of United […]
Jonathan S. Tobin JNS, Jan. 29, 2025 “What worries Democrats about sanctioning the ICC is the prospect that American action could really cripple the court. . . . the issue on the left is their unwillingness to do anything about multilateral institutions, like the ICC or the United Nations, even if they become cesspools of […]
UNWatch, Jan. 7, 2025 “UNRWA’s senior management not only knowingly employ individuals tied to Hamas terrorism, but also allow the terrorist groups to influence critical agency decisions and policies.” A bombshell new investigation from international human rights group UN Watch exposes the disturbing links between the UNRWA and Palestinian terror organizations.

Herb Keinon Jerusalem Post, Jan. 28, 2025 “Appointing him now as Supreme Court president, even though this cloud above his head has not been dispelled, only gives fodder to those who already say that, for various reasons, the court is illegitimate.” In a normal country, appointing a Supreme Court president clouded by ethical allegations would dominate […]
Tova Zimuky Ynet News, Jan. 26, 2025 “This means that the judicial system, which requires joint administrative decisions by the minister and the president, will not be made.” The Judicial Selection Committee appointed on Sunday High Court judge Yizhak Amit as permanent Chief Justice. The vote on the 14th president of the Supreme Court comes […]
Omer Dostri Jerusalem Post, Jan. 9, 2025 “The High Court’s ruling signifies the devaluation of the Israeli legislature, stripping it of its significance as both a constituent and legislative authority.” In their decision announced on January 1, 2024, regarding the amendment to the Basic Law aimed at reducing the reasonableness standard, eight out of the […]
Moshe Cohen-Eliya Law & Liberty, Mar. 4, 2024 “What explains the transfer of power from elected representative institutions to the judiciary in Israel?” In early 2024 and at the height of the Israel-Hamas war in Gaza, the Israeli Supreme Court published the most important ruling in its history.

J.E. Dyer The Optimistic Conservative, Jan.27, 2025 “I’ve been expecting him to invoke the Abraham Accords in relation to the war in Gaza, because that’s his foundational commitment for U.S. policy in the Middle East.” There’s no question President Trump disappointed a whole lot of people and lost a lot of momentum with some supporters […]
Khaled Abu Toameh Gatestone, Jan. 27, 2025 “The Qataris do not want the PA in the Gaza Strip to rein in Hamas and other terrorist groups, or to prevent attacks against Israel. Instead, they want the PA to act as a front to maintain Hamas’s hold on power — as a cover for keeping Hamas […]
Park MacDougald and Adam Lehrer The Scroll, Jan. 24, 2025 “Iran will hopefully make a deal, and if they don’t make a deal, that’s okay too,” combined with Trump’s expressed wish that Israel not have to resort to a strike (i.e., leaving the option open), is at the very least preferable to the Obama-Biden version of Iran […]
