A War Criminal
The UK has dropped its opposition to an international arrest warrant for Benjamin Netanyahu, removing a key hurdle to one being issued and underlining the tougher stance being taken towards Israel by the new Labour government.

Downing Street confirmed on Friday that the government would not submit a challenge to the jurisdiction of the international criminal court, whose chief prosecutor, Karim Khan, is seeking a warrant against the Israeli prime minister.


The move, first reported by the Guardian, makes it more likely that the ICC will grant Khan’s request, in what would be a stunning international rebuke for Israel over the way it has conducted the war in Gaza and put Netanyahu at risk of arrest if he travels abroad.
 
What will the response be after the Israeli strike on Beirut. Unpredictable days ahead in the ME that could escalate beyond control.

Compounded by Isreal taking out a major Hamas leader in Tehran, either by missile or fighter. For all its sabre rattling Iran obviously doesn’t control its own skies. Irans response should be interesting.

I guess Iran will give their usual 24 hours notice of their intention to attack a specific target …
 

Deadly attacks in Tehran, Beirut going to put the lives of Jewish people at risk​


Akiva Eldar, a political analyst based in Tel Aviv, says the killing of Haniyeh and the deadly attack in Beirut is going to put the lives of Jewish people at risk.
“It’s like opening a beehive without protective cloth that Israel believes it has from the international community,” he said. He cited the 1994 killing of dozens of Jews in a bombing in the Argentinian capital, Buenos Aires.
On the response from Israel, Eldar said that “there is more than one Israel, there is Netanyahu Israel and there is Israel that lost complete trust in Netanyahu”.
“The families of the captives and millions of Israelis who worry today and ask themselves how they are getting close to get back home or we can say goodbye to the deal with Hamas and prospect of ending this war,” he said.
“Is there any hope to put an end to the conflict or are we looking at escalation?”
