In this op-ed in Haaretz, Michal Saliternik, David Kretzmer and I address the latest threats by Netanyahu's minister of defense Israel Katz and highlight their blatant unlawfulness. www.haaretz.com/opinion/2026...

Opinion | The IDF must reject defense minister's plan for mass Palestinian expulsions

Some ministers in Netanyahu's government openly acknowledge that the expulsions are part of a deliberate policy to permanently seize Palestinian land. Under international law, such forced displacement...

Utterly digusted by Ben Gvir's videos. But those that would have you believe that he is an outlier are no better. There is a prime minister who appointed him and even now refuses to fire him. In fact, there is no difference between Netanyahu, Ben Gvir, and the rest of their criminal government.

In this piece I argue that the mutual threats in the Iran war are highly unlikely to work since the parties don't trust each other enough to even believe that complying with the threats will actually change the adversary's behavior.

With threats to attack power plants and other civilian infrastructure circulating between the parties to the Iran war, Eliav Lieblich (@eliavl.bsky.social) argues that so-called reprisals are much more likely to cause uncontrollable escalation: #Iran #IranWar #Civilians #LawsofWar

The Trump Administration keeps throwing new arguments at the wall to see what might stick--but each one is worse than the last. This is an excellent piece by @eliavl.bsky.social explaining why Rubio's recent "double preemption" argument is a non-starter. www.justsecurity.org/133093/preem...

Double Preemption, Imminence, and the U.S. Attack Against Iran

Rubio’s argument that Operation Epic Fury was preemptive self-defense is not credible and does not satisfy the necessary precondition.

"the combat decisions he has made" Hegseth is setting up Admiral Bradley to take the blame for killing the survivors--which is just the tip of an immense iceberg of illegal acts. U.S. military officials beware: Following orders is not a defense to murder or war crimes.
