The warrant for Benjamin Netanyahu’s arrest is a stain on Israel – but he remains shameless
It is of little comfort for the Palestinian people – but it does seem that a ceasefire, of sorts, is within sight. What happens after that, not even Mr Trump knows, because there is no plan for “the day after” the fighting winds down. The rubblescape of Gaza and Lebanon has created not just unspeakable horrors and miseries, but a vast political vacuum.
In due course, the people of Israel will have to choose who it is that they want to take their nation forward and make it truly safe and secure. The man wanted in The Hague for war crimes, in a war that he failed to win, shouldn’t be in any position to frame their future.
