Just over 100 days ago, Benny Gantz was the leader of a small Israeli opposition party. Now, in a shared office inside a nondescript building within the Defense Ministry compound in Tel Aviv, Mr. Gantz is helping lead Israel’s war against Hamas in Gaza as a member of the war cabinet…

Rather, he said, he was trying “to be strong” in the wake of his son’s death and to “contribute and have an influence” for the good of Israel. He said Gal “was always the most opposed to my entry into politics,” but that, during the war, “I heard him speaking completely differently.”

But North Korea (3,000,000), Syria (hundreds of thousands and 14 million fled homes) and China (more than a million Uyghurs through gulag-like re-education camp) have never been charged with genocide at the International Court of Justice. Israel has. How curious. And how obscene.

Terror group says it won’t take part in talks as it sends Ismail Haniyeh to Cairo; Herzog to French official: Israel has ‘made it clear it is prepared for a humanitarian pause’

While casualty numbers can be fluid amid a war, the consistent one-sided nature, magnitude, and frequency of the numerical anomalies suggest Hamas is inflating the number of women and children killed in a manner that cannot be explained by statistical margins of error or identification lags, as some may contend.

Hostages who have returned to Israel in the past week have come home malnourished, ill, injured and bearing psychological wounds.
