If the process moves quickly, infrastructure work in #E1 could begin in the next few months & construction of homes could start in around a year. The plan includes around 3,500 apartments that would abut the existing #settlement of Maale Adumim. #Smotrich also hailed the approval, during the same meeting, of 350 homes for the settlement of Ashael near Hebron.

Israel’s expansion of settlements is part of an increasingly dire reality for #Palestinians in the occupied #WestBank as the world’s attention focuses on the #war in #Gaza. There have been marked increases in attacks by settlers on Palestinians, evictions from Palestinian towns, #Israel #military operations, & checkpoints that choke #freedom of movement, as well as several Palestinian attacks on Israelis.

AP News · Israel approves settlement project that could divide the West BankIsrael has given final approval for a controversial settlement project that would effectively cut the occupied West Bank in two. Palestinians and rights groups say it could destroy hopes for a future Palestinian state. On Wednesday, the project received final approval. The international community overwhelmingly considers Israeli settlement construction in the West Bank to be illegal and an obstacle to peace. The E1 settlement project is significant because it would block a potential direct route between Ramallah and Bethlehem. Far-right Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich cast the approval as a rebuke to Western countries that announced their plans to recognize a Palestinian state in recent weeks.

#Trump shock spurs #Japan to think about the unthinkable: #NuclearArms

In Japan & #SouthKorea there is deepening concern over the reliability of long-time American #security guarantees. This has been turbo-charged by Trump’s tough treatment of traditional #US #allies, which has some in Tokyo & Seoul calling for a reassessment of their non-#nuclear policies.

Many supporters of global rules are in despair. “I cannot remember a time when I was more concerned about the state of international humanitarian law,” says Michael Schmitt, a law professor at the University of Reading & former American Air Force officer. “And I go back a ways.”

The International Criminal Court (#ICC), which prosecutes people for the vilest offences, such as #CrimesAgainstHumanity, is investigating a dozen conflicts & has issued arrest warrants for 30 big-time defendants who are still at large. The International Court of Justice (#ICJ), which settles disputes between countries, is ordering mighty armies to stop fighting.

The #LawsOfWar Are Being Largely Ignored

#International #courts have never been busier. Conflicts are more common than at any point since 1945. Ever more #civilians are being bombed, #starved & #raped by men with guns. These are the curses that the laws of war were invented to prevent, & that international courts are meant to punish & deter.

The most successful dictators in history are those that have you convinced you live in a democracy and what you say is heard and taken into account

The longest lived dictatorships ..

The most guarded and violently enforced ..

The most secure ...

The most controlling of people and invading their privacy ...

The most violently disrupting their ecosystem so they can't survive outside the dictatorship

I'm not entirely certain that what is proposed by Patrick O Chors is achievable given present circumstances, nor does the author confirm that it can. But it should. That's his point here. There may be room for optimism; Chors explains:

"The recent Defence and Security Pact agreed between the EU and Britain is a step in the right direction. In the short term, it will be essential for the reinvigorated concert to prioritise aiding Ukraine to prevail against Putin’s aggression and containing Russia by all available means. In collaboration with partners like Japan, similar policies should be pursued to pre-empt Chinese attempts to annex Taiwan or subvert international ground rules in and beyond East Asia. The longer-term aspiration should be to strengthen both regional and global collective security, the resilience of pluralistic democracies, and a more balanced social market economy that reins in hyper-capitalist disorder and inequities."

But for me, it's a big ask. In a pessimistic frame of mind -- brought about by what is happening in the world -- only in the recovery phase of a violent conflict between the superpowers can optimism be fruitful. But at a cost. An enormous cost, one perhaps too great to bear.
