On Monday, Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu flew on his official plane the so-called "Wing of Zion" to meet Donald Trump in Washington. His route took him through the airspace of Greece, Italy, France and Canada - all members of the International Criminal Court (ICC), which in November 2024 issued an arrest warrant for Netanyahu over war crimes and crimes against humanity in Gaza.
Commentators criticised the governments of those countries for allowing safe passage for a leader who remains a fugitive from an international legal institution they are part of.

Broadcaster and former England footballer Gary Lineker and Bridgerton star Nicola Coughlan are among some 20 public figures to back a new campaign helping Palestinian students from Gaza take up their places at UK universities.
The Scholarships for Gaza initiative, organised by education charity Phoenix Space, is raising money through a 10-day celebrity auction to cover tuition fees and living costs for students who have secured university offers but remain unable to leave Gaza without fully funded scholarships.
More than 2,300 Israeli settlers and far-right activists entered the Al-Aqsa Mosque compound in occupied East Jerusalem on Thursday under heavy police protection, according to Palestinian officials. The incursion, held during the Jewish holiday of Tisha B’Av, included far-right National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir and was described as one of the largest of the year.
Israeli forces reportedly restricted Palestinian access to the site, barring many worshippers and students and assaulting several people, while more than 1,000 Israelis were allowed to pray and perform religious rituals inside the compound despite the longstanding agreement prohibiting non-Muslim prayer there.
Ed Miliband has used his first statement as the UK's new foreign secretary to ignore his Labour Party’s backing for Israel’s genocide in Gaza. While promising to defend democracy, international law and the “rule of law on the world stage”, Miliband condemned Russia’s invasion of Ukraine but described Gaza only as a site of “terrible suffering”, erasing both Israel’s responsibility and Britain’s role in enabling its assault. Labour continued licensing arms exports to Israel while in government and resisted demands for a comprehensive embargo, even as the International Court of Justice imposed provisional measures in the genocide case against Israel.
The statement otherwise signals continuity rather than change. Miliband praised the work of Yvette Cooper and David Lammy, pledged to strengthen Britain’s alliances with the United States, the European Union and NATO, and promised continued support for Ukraine. His brief reference to seeking peace in Palestine and Israel is framed alongside “security for the people of Israel”, but contains no commitment to ending British arms supplies, imposing sanctions or securing accountability for Israeli crimes. For all its language about justice and international law, the statement suggests those principles will continue to be applied selectively.
A total of 103 House Democrats voted to block $3.3 billion in planned US military aid to Israel, marking a significant shift in the party’s position on unconditional support.
The amendment was defeated 314–104, with 10 representatives voting present, but it gained support from nearly half of the Democratic House caucus.
Senior Democrats were divided: House minority leader Hakeem Jeffries opposed the measure as overly broad, while Nancy Pelosi and other prominent members supported it, citing growing concern over Israel’s military campaign in Gaza and the Netanyahu government.
The vote also reflected changing electoral pressures within the Democratic Party, as candidates critical of Israel and the pro-Israel lobby group AIPAC have gained ground in recent primaries.
Fergie Chambers, an heir to the Cox family fortune and a major donor to pro-Palestinian and left-wing causes, was arrested in Ibiza on Friday 10 July 2026 at the request of the US Department of Justice.
According to a sealed indictment reviewed by The Grayzone, he faces extradition to the United States on charges of "international money laundering...with the intent to provide material support to and resources to foreign terrorist organisations.” The charges carry a potential sentence of up to 30 years.
The indictment reportedly presents no evidence that Chambers funded such organisations, pointing only to transfers from US banks to Tunisia, where he had relocated and invested in businesses, social initiatives and the Club Africain football team. His partner, Stella Schnabel, describes the case as political persecution linked to his support for Palestinians in Gaza.
Keir Starmer's Labour government is setting a dangerous precedent.
Instead of confronting the collapse in public trust that has driven millions of people away from legacy media and towards independent journalism online, the government appears intent on using the power of the state to prop up the very institutions the public is rejecting.
Confidence in much of the traditional media has been on the decline, while independent journalism has grown because people are actively seeking alternatives they believe better hold those in power to account and cover stories the mainstream too often overlooks or deliberately buries.
And this is exactly what an authoritarian government looks like: using the power of the state to protect a discredited media establishment while making it harder for independent voices to reach the public.
The anonymous collective Israel Exposed has launched a searchable online database designed to preserve and organise evidence from Israel’s genocide in Gaza.
According to the collective, the archive currently contains more than 64,500 videos, 17,900 images, a searchable victim database, geolocation data, an interactive live map, and a source index covering material from more than 300 journalists and documentation projects. Additional material is expected to be added over time.
The collective says the archive is intended to preserve evidence for researchers, journalists, human rights investigators, and legal teams pursuing accountability. Its submission portal states that newly submitted footage is reviewed before being forwarded to organisations involved in documenting war crimes and international legal proceedings, including teams supporting cases before the International Criminal Court and International Court of Justice.
The Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ) has removed board member Nika Soon-Shiong, publisher of Drop Site News, after she questioned why some Palestinian journalists had been excluded from CPJ’s Gaza death toll. The controversy comes as CPJ reviews its database of journalists and media workers killed in Gaza, with its current count reduced to 209 after 20 Palestinian names were removed.
CPJ says the review began after Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad published obituaries for individuals listed as journalists. CPJ removed eight names for alleged combatant status and 12 others for different reasons, while saying it excludes anyone “engaged in combat” or “inciting imminent violence”.
This comes months after whistleblowers accused CPJ of scrapping its Global Impunity Index because Israel was expected to rank first.
