</a>
</h2>
<div class="content">
<div class="field field-field-text"><p>The appeals chamber of the International Criminal Court (ICC) on Monday ruled against <a href="https://www.middleeasteye.net/countries/israel" target="_blank">Israel's</a> arguments that the investigation into crimes in Gaza after 7 October 2023 was invalid.</p>
<p>The decision is a significant development in the <a href="https://www.middleeasteye.net/countries/palestine" target="_blank">Palestine</a> investigation, which led to arrest warrants for Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his former defence minister Yoav Gallant in November last year.</p>
<p>Israel has filed numerous appeals to try to invalidate the warrants, including an attempt to <a href="https://www.icc-cpi.int/sites/default/files/RelatedRecords/0902ebd180d13ddc.pdf" target="_blank">disqualify</a> the court's chief prosecutor Karim Khan for alleged lack of impartiality and a <a href="https://www.icc-cpi.int/sites/default/files/CourtRecords/0902ebd180b5913d.pdf" target="_blank">challenge</a> to the court's jurisdiction in Palestine. </p>
<p>The ICC’s investigation into war crimes committed in occupied Palestine was initiated in 2021, based on a referral by the state of Palestine in 2018.</p>
<p>But since November 2023, seven other referrals have been filed by South Africa, Bangladesh, Comoros, Bolivia, Djibouti, Chile and Mexico. </p>

The truth is everyone in the UK should be getting a payrise and every public service should be getting increased funding, and we should be doing it by punishing the billionaires who have been punishing everyone else for 15+ years.

The older I get, the more my politics mature from childish, naïve beliefs like "the world is complicated and leaders have to make hard decisions" to more serious, adult principles like "hurting people is bad and helping people is good."

Inequality is not an accident. It is not natural. And it is not inevitable.
According to the United Nations’ World Inequality Report, inequality results from deliberate political and institutional choices.
The question is, why do our politicians perpetuate it?

Chief executives are now paid hundreds of times more than the people who actually create value in their companies. This is not innovation or entrepreneurship – it is extraction.

Reform UK councillor slapped with a £40,000 fine for hiring an illegal worker. 🤔
So much for "taking back control", apparently the rule is: deport them… but only after we’ve squeezed some cheap labour out of them.

Too many campaigners talk about what’s wrong, but never explain what must change or how it could happen.
Real campaigning means finding solutions: identifying causes, proposing reforms, and then doing the maths on the finances to show how they would work in practice.

<div class="content">
<div class="field field-field-text"><p>In a time of deep <a href="https://www.middleeasteye.net/countries/palestine" target="_blank">Palestinian</a> anguish, the national football team's successive victories in the <a href="https://www.arabnews.com/node/2625405/sport" target="_blank">Arab Cup</a>, currently taking place in <a href="https://www.middleeasteye.net/countries/qatar" target="_blank">Qatar</a>, have ignited a rare and precious sense of unity.</p>
<p>This joy begins in the rain-soaked tents of displaced families in Gaza, stretches to refugee camps in <a href="https://www.middleeasteye.net/countries/lebanon" target="_blank">Lebanon</a>, <a href="https://www.middleeasteye.net/countries/jordan" target="_blank">Jordan</a> and <a href="https://www.middleeasteye.net/countries/syria" target="_blank">Syria</a>, and ripples across Palestinian communities worldwide.</p>
<p>From Rafah comes Ihab Abu Jazar, the team's coach, whose family home was <a href="https://www.aljazeera.net/sport/2025/12/7/%D9%85%D9%86-%D8%AF%D8%A7%D8%AE%D9%84-%D8%AE%D9%8A%D9%85%D8%AA%D9%87%D8%A7-%D8%A8%D8%BA%D8%B2%D8%A9-%D9%88%D8%A7%D9%84%D8%AF%D8%A9-%D8%A3%D8%A8%D9%88-%D8%AC%D8%B2%D8%B1-%D9%85%D8%AF%D8%B1%D8%A8" target="_blank">destroyed</a> and whose mother was moved to a tent in the Mawasi area. He becomes, suddenly, a beacon of hope.</p>
<p>For a fleeting moment, his squad delivers triumph on the green pitch, qualifying for the next round and dedicating the victory first to Gaza and then to Palestinians everywhere.</p>
<p>Behind the Fida'i, the team's nickname meaning fighter, a collective spirit emerges. It transcends sport, reflecting a profound yearning among Palestinians to reclaim an unfragmented identity, free from the suffocating grip of political division and despair.</p>
