Must say I'm surprised Katz isn't on the list

Ministers Ben Gvir and Smotrich are two of the names on the list. According to a diplomatic source, minister Orit Strook is the third politician

"The Office of the Chief Prosecutor in The Hague has requested secret arrest warrants against Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich, National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir and several other senior Israeli officials, Haaretz has learned."

The International Criminal Court has issued 5 secret arrest warrants for three Israeli politicians and two military officials, according to @lizarozovsky @haaretzcom

One of the costs of Israel's forever war approach since Oct 7 and its redefining of a ceasefire to mean continued, albeit it less, fire, is that the current "ceasefire" in Lebanon is in fact not a ceasefire at all. But this time it's mutual. 8 IDF soldiers killed since April 16.
English
In ~1 month of "ceasefire" (since April 17), Israel has killed 449 people & wounded 1342 in Lebanon (~62 casualties/day)
During previous 15 month "ceasefire" (Nov 28 2024 to Mar 1 2026), Israel killed 397 people & wounded 1102 (~3.3 casualties/day)
The rate of casualties during this "ceasefire" has been ~20X previous one.

Channel 14 broadcast: At the conclusion of the emergency cabinet session to discuss the problem of Hezbollah's FPV drones, it was decided to allocate an immediate budget of two billion shekels for the procurement and development of advanced technological solutions.
The main objective is to establish a "protection system" adjacent to the soldiers, capable of repelling the threat of drones, which have changed the face of the battle over the past month (there’s still no solution, they’re just throwing money at it).

Elections are coming anyway-but what he said that is much more significant is that the party “has no faith in Netanyahu” and that talk about a coalition “bloc” is no longer relevant, meaning they could switch loyalties.
This likely means elections will be in September

#BREAKING: Senior haredi spiritual leader, Rabbi Dov Lando, has instructed the Degel Hatorah to work to dissolve the current Knesset due to reports that the draft deferment law has been put on hold.

It's a start.
But as the ICJ explained, all States have an obligation not to render aid or assistance in maintaining the occupation, and to ensure that any impediment to the exercise of the Palestinian people of its right to self-determination is brought to an end.

EU Foreign Ministers just gave the go-ahead to sanction Israeli settlers over violence against Palestinians. They also agreed new sanctions on leading Hamas figures. It was high time we move from deadlock to delivery. Extremisms and violence carry consequences.
English
What the EU should do is ban all settlement goods. Why would Israeli settlers care if they are sanctioned? They are religious fanatics. What you need to do is to deprive them of what they need to operate.

Sanctions are not enough and could even be counterproductive. What is needed is consistent pressure to change Israeli state behavior

Does the IRI really think Trump will be impeached and removed from office if the GOP loses the Senate (which isn't happening, tbc)?
هنر جنگ@dolfiniran
۲۳:۰۴/ ۲۰ اردیبهشت جمهوری خواهان در امریکا حتی قبل از جنگ با ایران شانسی برای پیروزی در انتخابات مجلس نمایندگان نداشتند. اما تبعات جنگ با ایران بویژه رویگردان شدن طبقات مستقل از ترامپ، باعث شده به تازگی آنها به این نتیجه برسند که مجلس سنا را هم خواهند باخت. باخت هر دو مجلس احتمال استیضاح ترامپ را بالا خواهد برد. ایجاد اجماع دوحزبی بر ضدترامپ با همدستی ‘دولت عمیق’ در امریکا، احتمال حذف او به روش های دیگر را هم جدی می کند.

@bonzerbarry Call with Netanyahu. Think hes dare to resume bombing before China?

An Iranian official to Al Jazeera: Tehran's response to the American proposal came in a realistic and positive form. Our response focuses on ending the war in the entire region, especially in Lebanon, and settling disputes with Washington. Our response focuses on the need for a clear and guaranteed mechanism for lifting all forms of sanctions. Our response is based on the country's supreme interests and the outcomes of our consultations with regional countries. The choice is now in Washington's hands, and its commitment to political realism will be crucial.

@SinaToossi AIPAC and Israel woukd never allow anything but capitulation
English
The path to a US-Iran deal requires Trump abandoning the illusion of Iranian capitulation.
So far, Trump’s pattern has been: pressure fails, he says a deal is close, then he escalates another way. Rinse & repeat.
Many in Iran see his latest posts as heralding more escalation.
English
Fwiw reporting earlier this week suggested Trump was going to stick with the blockade and see if the Iranian position shifted after a month of additional pressure.
His comments today suggest his view is more binary--either return to war, or cut a deal.

What's next: "There are options. Do we want to go and just blast the hell out of them and finish them forever or do we want to try and make a deal. Those are the options," Trump said

@ConspiracyBull1 Ukraine is one state the Eu still has a number of very pro Israel governments in it.

With more than 300 health workers killed in Lebanon since October 2023, Israel continues to attack first responders conducting relief efforts.
Why hasn’t Lebanon opened pathways to accountability by giving the ICC jurisdiction to investigate and prosecute war crimes?
Lebanese Presidency@LBpresidency
دان رئيس الجمهورية العماد جوزاف عون الاعتداء الإسرائيلي الذي ادى إلى استشهاد ثلاثة رجال من الدفاع المدني خلال قيامهم اليوم بمهمة إنقاذ وإسعاف للمصابين نتيجة غارة اسرائيلية استهدفت مبنى في بلدة مجدل زون وادّت أيضا إلى استشهاد مواطنين مدنيين. واعتبر الرئيس عون أن هذا الاعتداء يضاف الى سلسلة اعتداءات استهدفت عاملين في الإغاثة والإسعاف ما يدل على أن إسرائيل تواصل انتهاك القوانين والمواثيق الدولية التي تحمي المدنيين والمسعفين وعناصر الدفاع المدني والصليب الأحمر والعاملين في حقول الإنقاذ والإسعاف والطبابة. وقدم الرئيس عون تعازيه إلى عائلات الشهداء الثلاثة والمدير العام للدفاع المدني العميد عماد خريش ورفاق الشهداء منوهاً بالتضحيات الكبيرة التي يقدمها الدفاع المدني والهيئات الإنسانية والاسعافية والطبية في لبنان خلال هذه الفترة الصعبة من تاريخه.

60 UK ex-ambassadors: “Britain and its European partners should ban all settlement trade - goods and services, including investment and insurance - and review those agreements with Israel.”

60 former British ambassadors, from across generations of diplomats. All united in demanding international law be upheld when it comes to our relationship with Israel over the 1967 occupation of the territories of the State of Palestine.

What kind of deal is Trump looking for?
Does he need a "big" deal that covers Iran's nuclear program--and is such a deal even possible in a short time frame?
Or, would a "little" deal that reopens the strait enough for him to claim victory and move on?
Critical question as the US-Iran appear deadlocked.
