Palestinian Territory - Israel continues to ignore orders from the International Court of Justice (ICJ), including the Court’s most recent ruling. This ruling requires Israel to halt its military assault on the Rafah Governorate in the southern Gaza Strip and reopen the Rafah border crossing to facilitate the movement of people and humanitarian aid. In the 48 hours that followed the ICJ’s ruling on Friday 24 May, however, Israel conducted more than 60 air raids on Rafah.

Furthermore, dozens of artillery shells and constant gunfire were fired in areas of Rafah where the Israeli military was encroaching. Israel’s ground incursion began at dawn on 7 May and has since spread to the west and central parts of the city, mostly along the border strip. It has already impacted a significant portion of the city.

Thirteen Palestinians were killed in the 48 hours following the Court’s ruling, including six members of the Qishta family, an elderly mother and three of her children—two girls and one boy —and an adult son and his two children. The victims were killed when Israeli planes bombed their home on Saturday 25 May in Khirbet Al-Adas, north of Rafah, an area not included in the Israeli evacuation orders.

    Netanyahu wants Trump and will continue to ignore all attempts to intervene until Trump is elected, at which point Gaza will be annexed, the remaining Palestinians will be killed or “relocated”, and he will pressure Trump to bomb Iran. The ICJ, UN, Europe, and Democrats no longer have any influence on the Israeli right-wing government. This is all for naught.

    Bibi will name it Trump Alley or something else equally ridiculous, just like he did with the Golan Heights.

        Not according to the source I linked. His split with Biden and the Democrats has been years in the making, and has reached a point of no return. He wants Trump, and he’s willing to drag Biden through the mud to get Trump. This is not according to Bibi, this is according to people who worked for Obama and Biden, as well as Democrats in Congress.

            Israel ≠ Netanyahu

            There’s a very big difference between what the broader Jewish community prefers and what Netanyahu’s right-wing government prefers. But, to be sure, the best way to make those one in the same would be to withdraw support.

              Jews are not Zionists. Much of the Jewish community does not support the existence of israel whatsoever.

              The Zionists that do support israel bribe off both Democrats and Republicans. But they have hit the jackpot with Genocide Joe. There has never been an American president more willing to throw away his entire election in order to bow down for israel.

              If Zionists truly were trying to get Trump elected over Biden then there’s no reason for Biden to keep supporting this Genocide. And you would have to question Bidens sanity instead of his morals.

            Sorry, the website doesn’t make it clear to me, what are these numbers indicating they’re a recipient for? Are these direct donations from Israel?

              This is Pro-Israel Recipients. So donations from lobbies like AIPAC and other groups that bribe politicians into supporting israel.
