Following the media's hyperfocus on the ICC’s 2024 request warrants against Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu and Defense Minister Gallant, the press corps has gone quiet on the case's latest hiccups, including the suspension of chief prosecutor Karim Khan.
President Herzog's visit to Costa Rica and Panama underscores expanding Israeli diplomatic ties to the region. Top ICC prosecutor says no evidence to show that Israel committed genocide in Gaza. First Palestinian submits complaint to ICC asking to prosecute Hamas for war crimes against Palestinians.
New allegations on International Criminal Court prosecutor Karim Khan's relationship with Qatar. Israel sent defense systems and Israeli troops to UAE to help defend against Iranian missiles in March. Hamas sexually assaults young Gazan boys and the mainstream media has been silent.
NYT Magazine subtly presented the genocide libel to its readers through a series of omissions, including the failure to divulge to readers that its "genocide expert" was an antizionist professor who justified the Hamas atrocities of October 7, 2023.
