Washington. US-Präsident Donald Trumps Plan, im großen Stil Bundesbedienstete zur Kündigung zu drängen, stößt auf juristischen Widerstand. Ein Bundesrichter hat am Donnerstag vorerst eine Frist ausgesetzt, nach der sich Bundesbedienstete bis Donnerstag entscheiden mussten, ob sie das Angebot der Regierung annehmen, wie mehrere US-Medien übereinstimmend berichteten. Der Richter setzte demnach eine neue Anhörung für Montag an.

As Israel’s UNRWA Ban Kicks In, the UN Boss Must Be Ready for Day After
This contradictory approach has led to what one senior UN official described as “a train crash waiting to happen.” The suffering of the Palestinian population, particularly in Gaza, will increase dramatically as UNRWA, the backbone of the humanitarian operation, crumbles without an alternative structure in place. The educational and health sector in the West Bank will also fall into dire straits, with no viable alternatives available.
As part of Israel’s expulsion of UNRWA from its East Jerusalem headquarters on Jan. 30, the government will most likely confiscate the agency’s buildings and transform the site into a Jewish settlement, blatantly violating international law.
Israel orders Unrwa out of Jerusalem as crackdown on agency continues
Israel has ordered the UN agency for Palestinian refugees (Unrwa) to shut down its operations in Jerusalem and vacate all premises by 30 January, according to a letter sent by Israel’s envoy to UN secretary general Antonio Guterres on Friday.
Israel will Palästinenserhilfswerk UNRWA aus Jerusalem vertreiben
Israel hat das UN-Palästinenserhilfswerk UNRWA aufgefordert, seine Arbeit in Jerusalem bis zum 30. Januar einzustellen und die Stadt zu verlassen. UNRWA sei „verpflichtet, seine Tätigkeit in Jerusalem einzustellen und alle Räumlichkeiten, in denen es in der Stadt tätig ist, bis spätestens 30. Januar 2025 zu räumen“, forderte der israelische UN-Botschafter Danny Danon in einem Brief an UN-Generalsekretär António Guterres. Das Schreiben lag der Deutschen Presse-Agentur vor.

Analysis | Netanyahu Is No Longer Israel‘s Legitimate Prime Minister
What‘s happening to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu? The extreme mood swings reflected in both his statements and body language attest to pressure, psychological distress and loss of his senses. He quickly slips into the mindset of paranoid tyrants who live in a bubble, divorced from reality.
Bill Curbing Power to Rule Netanyahu Unfit Could Lead to ‚Absurd Situations,‘ Attorney General Warns
The bill, submitted by coalition chairman Ofir Katz, states that only the cabinet can declare a prime minister unfit or incapacitated by a two-thirds majority, and that in some cases, such a declaration would require approval by a majority of 90 lawmakers. Moreover, a declaration of incapacitation would apply to incompetence for health reasons only.
The bill is being advanced in response to the Movement for Quality Government in Israel’s petition to the High Court asking to declare Netanyahu unfit for office over a conflict of interest due to the ongoing criminal proceedings against him.
Court gives Netanyahu 1 month to respond to petition to declare him unfit for office
(10 February 2023)
The High Court of Justice on Friday gave Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu one month to respond to a petition to declare him unfit for office and force him to take a leave of absence.
The Movement for Quality Government in Israel petitioned the court on Thursday, arguing that Netanyahu is in violation of a conflict of interest arrangement that bars him from involvement in matters that could impact his ongoing trial on graft charges.

High Court cancels hearing as PM agrees to Gantz as justice ministe
In addition, a few moments before Netanyahu announced his decision to back Gantz for the position, he apparently was made aware that Bennett held his first meeting with Mansour Abbas – the leader of the Islamist Ra‘am party – in an effort to form a unity government.
Netanyahu reverses course, votes to appoint Gantz as justice minister
Hours before the High Court of Justice was due to decide on the legality of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu‘s attempts to install a justice minister from his own party, the premier announced Wednesday afternoon he supports the appointment of Blue & White leader Benny Gantz for the position.
Netanyahu Caves After Rebuke From Supreme Court: Gantz Appointed Justice Minister
In a statement Netanyahu said, „The prime minister submitted a detailed response to the High Court that completely rejects the court‘s claim that yesterday‘s vote was illegal.“
„However,“ Netanyahu said, „after the prime minister‘s attempts at compromise were rejected again this morning, and in order to extract us from this dead end situation and allow the Justice Ministry to function, the prime minister decided to appoint Benny Gantz to the post of Justice Minister for the tenure of the interim government.“
Netanyahu is attacking Israel. Stop him – comment
Netanyahu‘s refusal to appoint a justice minister is a direct assault on this nation. It is that simple.
His reasoning is also simple: Netanyahu does not want to fill the role with someone who is not subservient and willing to go along with coordinated efforts to escape his bribery trial.
The Court Gave Netanyahu a License. It Can‘t Complain if He Shoots
Rather, it is the public danger he constitutes and his conspiring to topple state institutions. Ordinary criminal defendants who behaved as Netanyahu has would have long since been ordered to remain in custody for the duration of legal proceedings, lest they obstruct the investigation and trial, and for disobeying a court order. But we can’t complain to Netanyahu about it, when the court itself gives him license to harm it.
High Court to convene as government stalls again over justice minister
The High Court of Justice was to convene at 5pm Tuesday after the government failed to appoint a justice minister within the time frame allocated by the court.
The latest attempt to end the deadlock over the appointment of the minister failed when the government voted down a move by Blue & White leader Benny Gantz to return to the ministry on a permanent basis.
Supreme Court Chief Issues Ultimatum to Netanyahu: Appoint Justice Minister in 48 Hours
The justice minister post has remained empty since Gantz‘s term as acting justice minister lapsed on April 1. The appointment of a justice minister is a particularly sensitive issue, given that Netanyahu is currently amid an ongoing corruption trial for bribery, fraud and breach of trust.
Ultimatum…
Das kürzlich von den Vereinigten Staaten an den venezolanischen Präsidenten Nicolás Maduro ausgesprochene Ultimatum und der Prozess der „Aufweichung“ durch alle Arten von Sanktionen, einschließlich des Diebstahls der in den USA gegründeten venezolanischen Raffinerie Citgo, haben das Label der Methoden von vor anderthalb Jahrhunderten
