Australian protesting Herzogâs visit gets beat up by police,
The Oslo Accords were nothing but a zionist heist on the rest of the world anyway. In short, we (the entity) steal and occupy and you (the rest of the world) pay for it.
That is truly sickening! 
âI am now collecting her piece by piece. With what? With this sifter. This sifter is normally used to sift flour⌠Today, I am using it to collect the bones of my wife and children,â he continued. âCollecting bones with a shovel is difficult, so I thought of using a sifterâto sift, bone by bone, one by one. And praise be to God, I was able to reach this,â he said, pointing to a small pile of bone fragments, brown with dirt, grouped together on a tarp.
Netanyahuâs flight to US passed through Rome Statute member states despite ICC warrant
Flight data from yesterday revealed that Netanyahuâs aircraft, en route to the US, flew over three countries that have signed the Rome Statute, which requires them to comply with an arrest warrant issued by the International Criminal Court (ICC).
The flight-tracking website FlightRadar showed Netanyahuâs plane, known as âWing of Zionâ, flying over Greece, Italy and France on its way to the US. All three countries are parties to the Rome Statute and members of the ICC and are obligated to comply with its decisions, yet their airspace was not closed to the aircraft.
The plane followed the same route it took in late December, when Netanyahu travelled to the US to meet Trump.
On previous trips, Netanyahu has avoided entering the airspace of several countries over fears of arrest. However, during his trip to New York in September last year to attend the UN General Assembly, he used the airspace of Greece and Italy but did not enter French airspace.
The ICC issued an arrest warrant for Netanyahu in November 2024 over war crimes and crimes against humanity in Gaza, where more than 72,000 people have been killed in its genocidal war since October 2023.
How many times has Israel violated the Gaza ceasefire?
Since the âceasefireâ took effect, Israeli attacks have killed at least 586 Palestinians and wounded 1,558 across Gaza.
Israel violated the ceasefire agreement at least 1,620 times from October 10, 2025 to February 10, 2026, through the continuation of attacks by air, artillery and direct shootings, the Government Media Office in Gaza reports.
The office said Israel shot at civilians 560 times, raided residential areas beyond the âyellow lineâ 79 times, bombed and shelled Gaza 749 times, and demolished peopleâs properties on 232 occasions. It added that Israel had also detained 50 Palestinians from Gaza.

Death Penalty Bill Mandates Execution for Palestinians and Imprisonment for Israelis for Identical Offenses
Legal and security experts who took part in a Knesset panel on the legislation â including representatives of the Justice Ministry and the Defense Ministry â opposed the billâs wording. They warned that several of its provisions are unlawful and carry âgrave international implicationsâ
The latest draft of a death penalty bill sponsored by the Netanyahu coaltiionsâ far-right Otzma Yehuditâs party mandates the death sentence for Palestinians convicted of acts of terror that result in murder, but leaves room for Israeli citizens convicted of the same crime to be sentenced to life imprisonment.
One of the billâs clauses states that the defense minister may allow a military commander to determine that a West Bank resident who intentionally caused the death of a person under circumstances deemed to be terrorism can be punished only by death. The law states that this determination does not apply to an Israeli citizen or resident.
By contrast, in the chapter relating to a trial in Israeli courts, the punishment is âdeath or life imprisonment.â
Legal and security experts who joined legislative deliberations in the Knesset National Security Committee, where far-right lawmaker Tzvika Foghel is the chair, on Monday opposed the wording and warned that some of its clauses were unlawful and that the sections would âhave serious international implications.â
The only ones who did not express opposition to the law were an Israel Prison Service official and David Bavli, an adviser to National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir.
Foghel said the wording would be the last before the committee began hearing the reservations to the law before it is sent for second and third votes in the full Knesset.
Yuval Zilber, of the Defense Ministryâs legal office, cited complications in the section of the law granting additional authority to the defense minister. He noted that Defense Minister Israel Katzâs position on the issue had not yet been formulated.
Nechama Pearl, a lawyer with the National Security Council, said the ministerial legislative committee had determined that the words âdeath penalty onlyâ would be omitted from the law, so that judges could sentence Israeli citizens to life imprisonment at their discretion.
Lilach Wagner, a Justice Ministry official, asserted that the bill did not meet constitutional standards. She noted that even the security officials themselves âtook a cautious approach regarding the question of whether the bill fulfills its stated main purpose, while it is clear that the proposal has weighty international implications.â
In response to a question from The Democrats MK Gilad Kariv, Wagner said Justice Minister Yariv Levin believed the bill presented a problem because it limited the stateâs authority over offenses. She noted that if a crime covered by the law is committed on Israeli territory by a non-citizen, he will stand trial in military courts in the West Bank. The law thus grants exclusive jurisdiction for a court in the West Bank.
âWe have not heard an explanation here as to why this [situation] was created, why it was required,â Wagner said. Currently, terrorists accused of murder inside Israel can be tried in its courts.
Lt. Col. Eliran Ben Eliezer, a Defense Ministry official, told lawmakers that the prohibition on mitigating the punishment of Palestinians from the West Bank violated a clause in the Geneva Convention. âAs is known, we operate according to its provisions in the Judea and Samaria region,â he noted. Therefore, he said, the Defense Ministryâs position is that the clause should not be included in the bill.
Ben Eliezer added that the fact that the prohibition on commuting sentences applies only to Palestinians from the West Bank, and not to citizens or residents of Israeli territory, âcould also raise difficulties in the context of an international perspective of the proposal.â
The law stipulates that in the case of Israeli citizens, the prime minister may ask the court to order a stay of execution of the sentence for no more than 180 days. However, the prime minister will not be authorized to mitigate or commute the sentence of a Palestinian or to pardon him. The death penalty will be carried out by the Israel Prison Service. The law makes it clear that this clause refers to a resident of the West Bank, with the exception of an Israeli citizen or resident.
The legislation states that its purpose is âto prescribe the death penalty for terrorists who have committed murderous terrorist attacks, for the purpose of combating terrorism, including for the purpose of protecting the State of Israel and its citizens and residents; increasing deterrence; preventing premeditated attacks; retribution for their criminal acts; and to determine the arrangements for carrying out this punishment.â
The current version adds that those who may be present at the execution of the death penalty include a doctor, a district court judge appointed by the president of the district court or a judge of a military court of appeals appointed by the president of the court.
The bill does not include the Hamas terrorists involved in the October 7, 2023, massacre, for whom a separate bill is being proposed.
It is not yet clear how the bill will progress to its second and third votes. While the opposition Yisrael Beiteinu party is expected to support it, neither the ultra-Orthodox parties nor Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu have declared they will back it.
