Mahmoud Abbas has utterly failed to show leadership at a moment of crisis

3 weeks ago | middleeasteye.net | Lubna Masarwa |Abed Abou Shhadeh

Eighteen months into the ongoing genocide in Gaza, Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas gave a speech before the Palestinian Central Council this week that - at least superficially - warrants serious attention. His words highlight the depth of the Palestinian tragedy.
Collective punishment is a war crime. Israel is doing it anyway

Israel Katz made remarks this week that solidified something legal experts have long stated: Israel is collectively punishing the people of Gaza. The defence minister published a video directly addressed to “the residents of Gaza”, issuing a “last warning”. “Soon, the evacuation of the population from combat zones will resume, and what follows will be far more severe: you will pay the full price,” he warned. He called on Palestinians in the enclave to return Israeli captives and expel Hamas.

Yehuda Cohen, the father of 19-year-old soldier Nimrod Cohen, has criticised Netanyahu for prolonging the war on Gaza for his own "private interests" during a discussion with families of captives in the Knesset on Monday, sparking anger amongst members of parliament.
War on Gaza: As Palestinians suffer, liberal Zionists play the victim

Jan 13, 2025 | middleeasteye.net | Abed Abou Shhadeh

Less than a year after Israel occupied the West Bank, Gaza and the Sinai Peninsula, Jewish philosopher Yeshayahu Leibowitz published an article titled “The Territories,” criticising the Israeli occupation and the imposition of a military regime on millions of Palestinians. From this critique emerged the now-famous slogan: “The occupation corrupts” - a phrase that has become the foundation of arguments by many liberal Zionists.

After mounting political losses, Israeli society may soon face a reckoning

In the background of the ceasefire between Israel and Hezbollah, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has been facing mounting pressure from an increasingly frustrated Israeli public.

For an entire year, Israel's security forces have been insisting that Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar was hiding underground, surrounded by hostages, and likely disguised as a woman, with a head and face covering. Sinwar died on the battlefield on 16 October, in a chance encounter with Israeli forces, armed, without hostages around him, while wearing combat fatigues.
