Britain must do more to align Israel policy with international law (opens the original)
Read excerpt
There have been few moments in modern UK political history when the government has clearly stood up for international law with regard to Palestine. On Tuesday, Foreign Secretary Ed Miliband appeared close to doing that - but how close did he really get?

It was a
US ambassador to Turkey breaks with Washington on Israel's occupation of Syria's Golan Heights (opens the original)
Read excerpt
US ambassador to Turkey Tom Barrack has said Israel’s occupation of Syria’s Golan Heights continues even though it ran against UN resolutions and international law.

Read excerpt
Four US-based rights groups sued the Trump administration on Tuesday for its sanctions on the International Criminal Court (ICC). In a statement, the American Friends Service Committee, the Center for Constitutional Rights, Human Rights Watch, and the Open Society Institute called the sanctions "blatantly illegal".
