Israel’s War on International Law | Palestine This Week

In this week’s episode, we begin with the growing normalisation of rhetoric aimed at erasing Palestinian identity and ask how Israel’s war on Gaza could reshape the global politics of genocide. We also explore the deepening crisis within Zionism, the surge in settler violence across the occupied West Bank and the future of the International Criminal Court following the removal of its chief prosecutor. The discussion also considers Zohran Mamdani’s call for Benjamin Netanyahu’s arrest, Washington’s escalating hostility towards international institutions that challenge Israel and the strategic calculations surrounding a Saudi-US nuclear deal tied to normalisation with Israel.Chapters:00:00 Introduction & Overview00:46 The Normalisation of Calls to Erase Palestinian Identity10:55 How Gaza Could Redefine the Global Politics of Genocide17:48 Has Zionism Reached the Edge of the Abyss?28:08 Settler Violence Surges Across the Occupied West Bank33:55 Karim Khan’s Removal and the Future of the ICC42:51 Zohran Mamdani’s Bid to Arrest Benjamin Netanyahu47:36 The US Targets International Institutions Challenging Israel52:05 The Saudi-US Nuclear Deal and Normalisation with Israel
