International humanitarian law was never meant to protect only one side’s people. It protects civilians precisely because it binds all parties equally. When powerful states defy those rules, they do more than harm their adversaries; they weaken the only framework that can protect their own civilians in return. If governments truly want to safeguard their people, the answer is not selective outrage but consistent compliance: uphold the law, apply it universally, and defend it even when it constrains your own actions.

Will the war with Iran boost Netanyahu’s prospects at the ballot box?
An Israeli victory in the war against Iran would likely give Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu a bump in the polls but may not guarantee him a win in the upcoming national elections, in the assessment of several veteran political analysts. But were the regime to fall, it would significantly boost his prospects.
Since the outbreak of the war over the weekend, the opposition has set aside its criticisms and rallied behind the government, which a majority of Israeli Jews have told pollsters they believe can handle the conflict effectively.

For the first time since 1967: Israeli government approves law okaying land registration in West Bank
Meanwhile, Israeli Army Minister Israel Katz emphasized that the government is, for the first time since the 1967 war, starting the registration of West Bank lands, allowing vast areas to be recorded as “property of the State of Israel,” according to his statement.
Israel approves registration of West Bank land as ‚state property‘
The measure is expected to formalise Israeli control over extensive areas of Palestinian land, much of which has remained unregistered since Israel occupied the West Bank in 1967.
It would allow authorities to legalise the confiscation of unregistered, or so-called abandoned, land by reclassifying it as “state land”.
In 1968, Israeli authorities suspended a Jordanian-led land registration process, effectively preventing Palestinians from formally recording ownership of their property.
Israel‘s plan to install West Bank regulations denounced as illegal ‚mega land grab‘
Israel will begin a contentious land regulation process in a large part of the occupied West Bank, which could result in Israel gaining control over wide swaths of the area for future development, according to a government decision on Sunday.
It paves the way for the resumption of „settlement of land title“ processes, which had been frozen in the West Bank since the Mideast War in 1967.
