NewsFeed Political analyst Xavier Bou Eid tells Al Jazeera that decades of impunity have fostered a culture that extends beyond the Israeli state to Israeli settlers and politicians. With elections expected later this year, he says, political parties are competing to persecute Palestinians, who remain totally defenseless in the occupied West Bank.

Israel’s Supreme Court rejects government ban on prisoner visits, affirming Red Cross access under international law. Published On 4 Jun 20264 Jun 2026 Israel’s Supreme Court has unanimously rejected a government policy banning representatives of the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) from visiting Palestinian detainees in Israeli prisons. The court ruled on Wednesday that by preventing the Red Cross from visiting prisoners, the government had contravened Israeli and international law, and therefore the policy must be repealed. Recommended Stories list of 3 itemsend of list It also ruled that the government failed to present a legal foundation for its policy on annulling all visits after the Hamas-led attack on October 2023, in which more than 1,100 people were killed and more than 240 were taken captive. The assault triggered a brutal war in Gaza, which has been defined as a genocide by several prominent scholars and an independent United Nations inquiry. The Israeli army killed more than 72,950 people in the enclave, according to Gaza’s Health Ministry, and reduced most of the besieged …

Several machines hum away as they sort, wash, dry, shred and melt plastic garbage – spitting it out as recycled pellets to be used again. “From waste plastic to raw material again,” explains mechanical engineer Ibrahim Ghazal, who sifts through a handful of pellets from a bag weighing several tons.

Israel’s President, Isaac Herzog, Denounces Israeli Violence

Israel’s President, Isaac Herzog, Denounces Israeli Violence

Published by Sam Flores

Israel’s president, Isaac Herzog, on Sunday delivered an unusually harsh indictment of what he described as “a terrible process of brutalization” creeping into Israeli society. He cited examples of thuggery like a surge of “mob” violence by Jews against Palestinians in the occupied West Bank and the abuse of detainees in Israeli custody. Mr. Herzog, whose role is largely ceremonial, was speaking at an event to award the annual Jerusalem Unity Prize at his official residence. The award was established by the families of three Israelis who were abducted and killed by Palestinians in the West Bank in 2014. “I wish I could speak today only about unity,” Mr. Herzog said before launching into a discussion of the actions taken by some Israelis that have prompted international censure and, he said, are “threatening us all.” “There are segments among us that are barely shocked by violence anymore,” Mr. Herzog said. “Certain other segments treat it lightly.” He warned that extremist and inhuman behavior is being normalized, and even celebrated, by some people on the margins …

It left him traumatized and terrified for years. It was “triggering” to see any Israeli in uniform, he says. “For me, all of them were a threat.” But decades later, Hussein, now a 33-year-old entrepreneur, has willingly and purposefully tied his fortune to his co-founder, who is an Israeli Jew. Hussein is one of about 35 entrepreneurs taking part in a start-up accelerator program called 50:50 Startups, where mixed teams of Palestinians, Israeli Arabs and Israeli Jews spend six months in …

Israel’s October 7 tribunal: Show trial of Palestinians or justice? | Israel-Palestine conflict News

Published by Sam Flores

Israel approved the establishment of a special military tribunal to try Palestinians accused of participating in the October 7, 2023, Hamas-led attack on Israel earlier this month, and will give the body the power to impose the death penalty. But analysts, campaigners, and international organisations – including the United Nations – have all questioned whether there will be any real justice delivered by the tribunal, and instead consider it a way of seeking revenge on imprisoned Palestinians. Recommended Stories list of 4 itemsend of list The impact of the October 7 attack, in which 1,139 were killed and 250 abducted, was amplified in Israel through endless repetition of videos of the attack. Al Jazeera’s own investigation unit has found that stories of atrocities committed on October 7 – some of the false – were used to justify the genocide launched on Gaza after the attack, which has so far killed more than 72,600 Palestinians. Some Israeli parliamentarians have made their positions clear on what they hope will be the result of the televised trials of an …
