On Tuesday Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu became the first foreign leader to meet Donald Trump in The White House during his second term. During the meeting, Trump doubled down on previous suggestions to remove Palestinians from Gaza.

As the dust settles in regime-changed Syria, a new reality emerges–one where the victors are not liberators, but former Al-Qaeda warlords restyled in suits, shaking hands with world leaders, and reshaping the state in their own sectarian image.

The international community wants to hold Israeli leaders accountable for war crimes committed in Gaza. Why is the United States standing in the way?

The arrest warrant for the President of Russia, issued by the International Criminal Court is, on one side, a rather ridiculous affair.

International Criminal Court (ICC) continues to serve as a “battering ram for U.S. and NATO policy,” as the former U.S. ambassador-at-large for war crimes in the Clinton administration defined it.

Israel attempts to improve its public image to counter efforts by human rights organizations that reveal the nature of Israeli apartheid.
