Israel’s war no longer has a strategy and fighting on is no longer just. If it is to remain a liberal democracy, it must hold itself to account for the crimes committed in Gaza

France's Court of Cassation has issued two decisions that deny functional immunity for international crimes but reaffirm personal immunity. The decision will no doubt disappoint many in the human-rights community, but as a matter of positive law it is spot on. www.courdecassation.fr/en/toutes-le...

Trump has no concept of the nation or of its security. This is not an insult to his intelligence. These are just not cognitive categories for him. He can’t care about national security because it’s not a thing in his world.
Trump has grown frustrated with the negative headlines the Signal security breach has caused, @jonlemire.bsky.social reports. Yet the president and his allies are focused on attacking the media rather than showing concern for the national-security blunder: theatln.tc/2vzda50K
Trump Goes After the Messenger
The president is privately upset with the sloppiness of his advisers. Publicly, he’s focused on attacking the press.
