US report on Israel is damming but cautiously equivocal - here are the key passages
Saturday, 11 May 2024 Israel has probably broken international law - that's the conclusion of a US State Department report that is both damning yet cautiously equivocal too.
Israeli warplanes have launched a major airstrike in Syria, targeting a residential building in the capital, Damascus. The attack, which took place on Sunday, resulted in widespread destruction in the densely populated Sayyida Zainab district, a key area in southern Damascus. Preliminary reports indicate that several people have been killed, and many others have been injured as the building collapsed following the bombing.

In a shocking escalation of hostilities, multiple attacks were launched against Israeli military targets, including a significant strike on the Tira Carmel Base in Haifa, marking a new front in the ongoing regional conflict. The attacks, originating from Iraqi forces or their affiliated groups, shook the security landscape in Israel, as explosions rocked key military sites within hours of each other.
The Tira Carmel Base, located in the northern coastal city of Haifa, was one of the primary targets, with heavy damage reported in the vicinity. The coordinated strikes raised concerns about the widening scope of the conflict, which had previously been confined to specific regions.

A major scandal has erupted within Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s office, with Tzachi Braverman, the chief of staff, accused of blackmailing an IDF officer to alter minutes from crucial wartime meetings. Reports suggest that Braverman allegedly threatened the officer with a sensitive video recording gathered from security cameras in the Prime Minister’s Office. This explosive revelation has raised questions about potential misconduct and abuse of power at the highest levels of government. Braverman has vehemently denied the allegations, calling them false and defamatory, but the scandal continues to overshadow Netanyahu’s administration during a time of national crisis. Investigations are ongoing as Israel faces mounting political and legal pressure

Iraq has strongly condemned the use of its airspace by the U.S. and Israel for launching attacks on Iran, calling it a violation of its sovereignty. The country’s National Security Advisor, Qasim al-Araji, reiterated Iraq’s firm stance against the exploitation of its territory for military actions against any neighbouring nation. This follows allegations that Israel used U.S.-controlled airspace over Iraq to conduct airstrikes on Iranian military sites. Iraq has submitted formal protests to the United Nations, demanding accountability for the breach of its airspace and emphasising its commitment to maintaining neutrality and regional peace.
