ICC Likely to Issue Arrest Warrants in Israel-Hamas Conflict

Israeli and international officials are growing increasingly convinced that the International Criminal Court (ICC) may soon issue arrest warrants for high-ranking government officials. These warrants could be related to Israel's conflict with Hamas. The International Criminal Court (ICC), a global tribunal responsible for trying individuals for crimes against humanity, war crimes, and genocide, is believed to be considering issuing arrest warrants for senior Israeli officials. This step is seen as a response to Israel's actions during the ongoing conflict with Hamas, a Palestinian political group with a military wing. Not only are Israeli officials under the ICC's consideration, but leaders from Hamas are also potentially on the hook. The court's move, if validated, could result in a...

However, the logistics of delivering this aid are complex and fraught with challenges.

Supreme Court Deliberations on Ex Presidential Trump’s Immunity

As the justices of the Supreme Court convened, Trump's assertion of "absolute immunity" from criminal prosecution for acts performed in an official capacity came under intense scrutiny. This idea of absolute immunity is a contentious aspect of the case, as critics argue that it could potentially turn the presidency into a haven for criminal activity. Despite their reservations about the concept of absolute immunity, the conservative ju...

Iran’s President warns of ‘massive’ response if Israel commits ‘even the smallest aggression’

Iran's President Ebrahim Raisi, in a recent statement, has issued a stark warning against Israel.

The reasons behind this shift remain undisclosed by Iranian authorities. The parade was not broadcast live on state TV, as has been the norm in previous years. Raisi's statement follows the aftermath of the recent as...
