Times Of Israel: Israel appeals ‘absurd, baseless’ ICC arrest warrants for Netanyahu, Gallant
Israel plans to appeal the International Criminal Court's (ICC) arrest warrants against Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and former defense minister Yoav Gallant, which are based on war crimes allegations related to the Gaza conflict. The Prime Minister's Office argues that the ICC lacks jurisdiction over Israel and that the warrants are unfounded.
In a meeting with U.S. Senator Lindsey Graham, Netanyahu discussed potential congressional actions against the ICC. Israel maintains that its legal challenges emphasize the bias of the ICC against it, asserting that the court's jurisdiction over Israeli nationals is invalid.
The Telegraph: Lebanon’s ceasefire could bring down Iran’s mullahs
The ceasefire between Israel and Hezbollah marks a significant setback for Iran, which has been a primary supporter of Hezbollah and Hamas. The conflict has resulted in the destruction of Hezbollah's infrastructure, and Iran's inability to protect its allies has raised questions about its influence in the region.
As Iran faces internal pressures and the potential for increased isolation, the ceasefire could signal a shift in power dynamics. The Lebanese government’s potential deployment of its military to secure the border may further undermine Iran's position, leading to speculation about the future of the Islamic Republic.

Le Monde: How COPs, the climate conferences accused of perpetuating inaction, can be reformed
The COP29 climate summit in Baku concluded with criticism over its effectiveness, as many believe it perpetuates inaction and serves as a platform for greenwashing. The agreement reached was seen as inadequate amidst rising global temperatures, prompting calls for boycotts from several countries.
Despite the discontent, some argue that COPs are essential for maintaining multilateral dialogue on climate issues. Experts suggest a need for reform, including stricter eligibility for COP presidencies to ensure commitment to fossil fuel transition.
