As well as ordering an end to the occupation as soon as possible, the court, which consists of 15 judges, said Israel must put an end to all unlawful acts, including ceasing all new settlement activity and repealing legislation that maintains the occupation, including that which discriminates against Palestinians or seeks to modify the demographic composition of any parts of the occupied territory.

Salam said reparations included restitution, compensation and/or satisfaction, defining the former as “Israel’s obligation to return the land and other immovable property, as well as all assets seized from any natural or legal person since its occupation started in 1967, and all cultural property and assets taken from Palestinians and Palestinian institutions, including archives and documents.

“It also requires the evacuation of all settlers from existing settlements and the dismantling of the parts of the wall constructed by Israel that are situated in the occupied Palestinian territory, as well as allowing all Palestinians displaced during the occupation to return to their original place of residence.”

She has at least spoken words about needing a ceasefire and made noises about concern for civilians. It's an improvement, even if that is a low bar to trip over.

It seems that blowing up Arab children in a rocket attack is horrific if you're Hezbollah, not so much if you're Israel, who are doing it most days.

It's mostly political (the Tories' action was only really likely to delay the arrest warrants?) but it's something.

Better still is the suggestion (at the end) that at least a ban on the sale of 'offensive' weapons is in the pipeline.

"Moderate" leader dead, there'll be no negotiations now until next guy comes in who's likely to be more militant which suits bibi down to the ground

Bibi extends his perpetual war into Lebanon and its a total cluster fuck

The world is basically relying on Qatar to try and resolve this and that's not going to happen

there is a real prospect that the UK and/or

(1) Re. Israel’s breaches of the prohibitions of acquisition of territory by
aggression and (allegedly) genocide and torture, and the Palestinian
peoples’ right to self-determination: There is a real prospect that the
UK or individuals herein rendered aid which facilitated these wrongs
and alleged wrongs. This, alone, would be sufficient to establish

and assistance which facilitated the alleged wrongs and had the
requisite knowledge thereof. This would be sufficient to establish
