  • Marwan Bishara
    Marwan Bishara “Once again, the US's veto demonstrated a policy of it's my way or the highway. Palestine could only be a country the way the United States sees it, or Israel sees it, only at the time that it's suitable to the United States and within the geopolitics and the global interest of the United States. The US is sacrificing the freedom of Palestinian people for egotistical and narrow interests of the United States and Israel.” 9 hours ago

    Brad Setser “Tariffs are currently 7.5 percent on electric vehicle battery packs but 25 percent on the components of those packs. The lower rate should be raised. China had long steered its subsidies to companies that manufacture and source their products in China - and sometimes had required those companies to be Chinese-owned. In order to build up industrial sectors where China has a first-mover advantage and now a cost advantage you need to have an insulated market - and to use some of the tools that China has already used.” 13 hours ago

    Lael Brainard “China's policy-driven overcapacity poses a serious risk to the future of the American steel and aluminum industry. China cannot export its way to recovery. China is simply too big to play by its own rules.” 13 hours ago

    Ruth Harris “War is a physical human endeavour and you have a force that is utterly exhausted, not slightly fatigued. It's a heavily attritional war. It's messy, it's bloody, there is nothing glorious about this. The glide bombs that are currently used are hugely devastating. They're cheap to make. They are pretty damn accurate and they can be adapted really quickly. They are fast and [the Russians] have a lot of them. This is a war of mass cost and pace. That's the operational factor on the ground.” 18 hours ago
  • Ali Vaez
    Ali Vaez “We are in a situation where basically everybody can claim victory. Iran can say that it took revenge, Israel can say it defeated the Iranian attack and the United States can say it successfully deterred Iran and defended Israel. If we get into another round of tit for tat, it can easily spiral out of control, not just for Iran and Israel, but for the rest of the region and the entire world.” 18 hours ago

“The [Israeli military's] first priority is to destroy the armed wing of Hamas and the other Palestinian factions, to undermine them in any way, even if it costs the lives of some of the hostages. The latest captives' reported deaths also indicates that Israel's war strategy is not achieving its objectives after more than 140 days of fighting. We are in the 147th day of war and there are more and more hostages dying, the majority of them by Israeli fire. The only way to release the hostages safely is the way it was done before - through some sort of negotiations. The Israeli government knows that… They just don't want to admit it.”

“You said that Israel's just war against Hamas in Gaza is the same as what Hitler and the Nazis did to the Jews and you have desecrated the memory of the six million Jews who were murdered in the Holocaust. We will not forget nor forgive. Shame on you and apologise!”

“In February, Israeli forces arrested 110 residents, mostly former prisoners and wounded men. In January, the occupation re-arrested a child, who was among those who were released in the exchange deal that took place in November 2023. This isn't just about numbers. The brutality with which the detainees and their families are being treated is unprecedented. This includes incidents of abuse, torture, severe beatings, and the use of family members, including women, as hostages to pressure a family member to surrender.”

“Israeli government is still unclear on the type of restrictions it will take in the Muslim holy month against worshippers trying to pray at Al-Aqsa Mosque. It's due to pressure from the more right-wing ministers who are calling for matters to be resolved with a firm hand. But the army knows that Ramadan is a powder keg that can lead to an explosive situation, especially with the ongoing war in Gaza. Netanyahu is looking to side with Smotrich and Ben-Gvir, who don't want to see any restrictions lifted during Ramadan, while the military is concerned about things spilling over in the occupied West Bank, including East Jerusalem.”

“This is not a tragedy; it is man-made. Starvation is being forced upon the people of Gaza by the Israeli occupation forces. Just two days ago, the international nutrition cluster came out with a very alarming report … that there is a sharp increase in the drivers of malnutrition in Gaza - food insecurity, a lack of diversity in the diet and decreasing infant and young child feeding possibilities. How can the world just sit idly by and watch children die from starvation?”

“It looks like there will be around 40 Israeli hostages being released - that would be women civilians, female soldiers, older men with serious medical conditions - in return for hundreds of Palestinian prisoners currently held in detention or Israeli jails. An agreement could also lead to a considerable increase in humanitarian aid going into the Gaza Strip and a potential return of Palestinians to the heavily bombarded and attacked areas in the northern part of the enclave.”

“The thing about imperial powers like the UK and the US is that they don't give a damn about the action, in this case, the occupation. They care for the actor, and the actor is an ally, Israel. That's why this court is important, because this court does not see actors. It doesn't care about the identity of the actor, it only cares about the nature of the act. And in this case, it's 75 years of dispossession, 56 years of occupation. The UK and the US don't want you to know the legal opinion of this question, because what they care about is the cynical calculus of geopolitics.”

“This has been experimented [with] over the past three decades. Palestinians have been negotiating with Israel, and Israel doesn't want to get anywhere with these negotiations. At the same time … Israel has been taking more land, expelling Palestinians from their homes and controlling their lives more. What we can see today in the Gaza Strip, Israel has not even thought that apartheid is enough, now they are committing genocide. So what should we wait for? Should we wait until there are no more Palestinians to talk to?”

“Rafah is the last bastion of Hamas control and there remain battalions in Rafah which Israel must dismantle to achieve its goals in this war. The only potential delay to the Israeli assault on Rafah could come should Hamas give ground in hostage negotiations and hand over the prisoners it took on Oct. 7. Even that would only delay the advance on Rafah unless it is coupled with the demilitarization of the city and surrender of the Hamas battalions there.”

“We shall not bow down to international dictates in regards to a future deal with the Palestinians. Such a compromise should be through direct negotiations with no preconditions. How can we give recognition to such a state after the massacre of October 7. This would be a reward for terrorism.”

“This was a predictable development of the situation on the ground. The tension has been brewing in the West Bank, including Jerusalem, since October 7. More than 7,000 Palestinians have been detained, almost 400 Palestinians killed by Israeli soldiers and settlers. The situation was being described as a pressure cooker, and now we've seen just how that pressure would explode in a very deadly and tragic manner. The writing was on the wall, and anyone who didn't see it just didn't want to.”

“A peace deal between Israel and Hamas will only be reached through direct negotiations between the parties. Israel outright rejects international dictates regarding a permanent settlement with the Palestinians. Israel will continue to oppose the unilateral recognition of a Palestinian state. Such recognition in the wake of the October 7 massacre would give a huge reward to unprecedented terrorism and prevent any future peace settlement.”

“Now is not the time to be speaking about gifts for the Palestinian people, at a time when the Palestinian Authority themselves have yet to even condemn the October 7 massacre. Here in Israel, we are still in the aftermath of the October 7 massacre. Now is the time for victory, total victory over Hamas. All discussions of the day after Hamas will be had the day after Hamas.”

“We will in no way agree to this plan, which says Palestinians deserve a prize for the terrible massacre they carried out against us: a Palestinian state with Jerusalem as its capital. A Palestinian state is an existential threat to the State of Israel as was proven on Oct. 7.”

“We're going to do it while providing safe passage for the civilian population so they can leave. Those who say that under no circumstances should we enter Rafah, are basically saying 'lose the war, keep Hamas there'.”

“The Khan Younis Brigade of the Hamas organisation is disbanded, we will complete the mission there and continue to Rafah. We will continue until the end, there is no other way.”

“The ICJ ruling puts a lot more pressure on the US and other Western allies to move on a ceasefire resolution. It makes it a lot harder for the US, along with Israel, to make the case to Western governments that are still very much concerned with international legitimacy, to maintain the idea that Israel is acting within the constraints of international law in Gaza and that it's acting in self-defence.”

“Israeli politicians have already said that they're going to ignore the ICJ order. It is much harder for, particularly, the US and European states including the UK, to ignore the order because they have a much stronger record of holding or supporting the International Court of Justice.”

“The ruling sends a strong message to Israel that the court views the situation as very serious and that Israel should do what it can to perform restraint in carrying out its military campaign.”

“Israelis have upped the ante of what they were doing beforehand. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has been vocal about calls for an escalation. Israel is also ramping up its attacks to stave off attacks by Iran and allies in the region, however many of these groups are part of the axis of resistance and are doing so in their own national interests.”

“The appalling suffering of civilians, both Israeli and Palestinian, is first and foremost the result of Hamas' strategy. If there were acts of genocide, they have been perpetrated against Israel. Hamas seeks genocide against Israel.”

“Israel's political leaders, military commanders and persons holding official positions have systematically and in explicit terms declared their genocidal intent. These statements are then repeated by soldiers on the ground in Gaza as they engage in the destruction of Palestinians and the physical infrastructure of Gaza. [Netanyahu's comments on October 28, 2023, urging ground troops preparing to enter Gaza to 'remember what Amalek has done to you'] This refers to the Biblical command by God to Saul for the retaliatory destruction of an entire group of people. The evidence of genocidal intent is not only chilling, it is also overwhelming and incontrovertible.”

“The military elite has grown increasingly uncomfortable over the past 10 years, and they're not pacifists by any means - they are not doves. But they understand what is strategically important for Israel, and they have been pushing against the overly militarist ambitions of the civilian government.”

“[Smotrich] didn't want that discussion [on the day after] to take place. He is very much against the Palestinian Authority [PA] having any rule in Gaza post the war. Netanyahu cancelled the war cabinet, worried it would fracture his coalition, fracture his government and put his position as prime minister at risk. The war cabinet was also meant to discuss a deal with Hamas - negotiated by the Americans, the Qataris and the Egyptians - about exchanging captives for Palestinian prisoners being held in Israeli jails.”

“One challenge is a ceasefire versus a truce. Palestinians are talking about a full-fledged ceasefire. The Israelis are hearing a 'truce,' a pause. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu would also have to pull back from its stated mission of eradicating Hamas. On the one hand [Netanyahu] is still negotiating with Hamas indirectly, but at the same time his main dream is to eradicate Hamas. He lives in two separate worlds and he needs to unify them.”

“The world's foremost superpower of the past 70 years is being humiliated by Israel. America laid few red lines: No reoccupation of Gaza, which is now no reoccupation of Gaza long term; no indiscriminate bombing. And then Sullivan comes to the region and says, 'No, we understand'. Every time we talk about a spat, it involves Israel spitting and America's face-saving. It is not exactly an equal relationship. The patron continues to follow the orders of the client.”

“There is no way we are not going back to fighting until the end. This is my policy, the entire cabinet stands behind it, the entire government stands behind it, the soldiers stand behind it, the people stand behind it - this is exactly what we will do.”

“It's unlikely to happen, given the messages coming from the Israeli side. I also think a ceasefire is not the same as putting out the fire to the original spark - the original point of conflict between Israelis and Palestinians. If they are just extending the truce for a few days, and resuming the carnage, it doesn't seem like an effective way to move forward. It's not moving forward at all.”

“For every Palestinian prisoner [the Israelis] release, there seems to be a continued disregard for the freedoms of Palestinians they continue to detain, a continuous disregard for Palestinian life as they continue to kill people in very violent and endless raids in the occupied West Bank.”
