United Nations (United States) (AFP) - Ignored by Russia and Israel, the International Court of Justice is hamstrung by a dysfunctional global system that sees countries comply with its rulings -- or not -- based on their own double standards, experts say. In 2022, the UN's highest court ordered Russia to halt its invasion of Ukraine, still underway two years later. In May, it ordered Israel to immediately halt its military offensive in the southern Gaza city of Rafah, which is ongoing. Do these refusals to comply with legally binding decisions testify to a lack of credibility and legitimacy o...

New York (AFP) - New York police arrested at least 22 people after pro-Palestinian protesters picketed New York's Brooklyn Museum, charging some with offenses including assault, officers said on Saturday, with the gallery reporting damage to artwork. Hundreds of demonstrators had descended on the art museum Friday, chanting pro-Palestinian slogans, and carrying banners and placards, an AFP correspondent saw. While many remained outside, some entered the museum, with a giant black and white banner reading "Free Palestine, divest from genocide" unfurled above the museum facade's six distinctive ...

Washington (AFP) - US President Joe Biden said Friday Israel had offered a new roadmap towards a permanent peace in Gaza, urging Hamas to accept the surprise deal as it was "time for this war to end."

"It's time for this war to end, for the day after to begin," Biden said in a televised address from the White House. "Israel has offered a comprehensive new proposal. It's a roadmap t...

Prague (AFP) - NATO chief Jens Stoltenberg on Friday urged members to commit to providing Ukraine at least 40 billion euros ($43 billion) a year in military aid, seeking to ensure long-term support as war with Russia grinds on. With Russia waging a major new offensive, NATO foreign ministers met in Prague to lay the groundwork for a July summit in Washington that will both celebrate 75 years of the transatlantic alliance and seek new ways to bolster Ukraine. The United States has led assistance to Ukraine but is resuming aid after a months-long delay triggered by fighting in Congress, with Nov...

Washington (AFP) - Joe Biden's red lines over Israel's assault on Rafah have kept shifting, but the US president faces growing pressure to take a firmer stance after a deadly strike in the Gazan city. Despite global outrage over the attack in which 45 people were killed, the White House insisted on Tuesday that it did not believe Israel had launched the major operation that Biden has warned against. John Kirby, the US National Security Council spokesman, said that Biden had been consistent and was not "moving the stick" on what defined an all-out military offensive by key ally Israel. But Bide...

Washington (AFP) - US President Joe Biden has no plans to change his Israel policy following a deadly weekend strike on Gaza's Rafah -- but is not turning a "blind eye" to the plight of Palestinian civilians, the White House said Tuesday. Gazan health authorities said 45 people were killed as a blaze tore through a camp for displaced people following the Sunday strike by Israel. But Washington does not believe that Israel's actions in Rafah amount to a full-scale operation that would breach Biden's "red lines," National Security Council spokesman John Kirby said. "As a result of this strike on...
