Israel taps top legal minds, including a Holocaust survivor, to battle genocide claim at world court
Israel is sending top legal minds, including a Holocaust survivor, to The Hague this week to counter allegations that it is committing genocide against Palestinians in Gaza. The robust engagement with the International Court of Justice is unusual for Israel, which normally considers the United Nations and international tribunals as unfair and biased. The decision to participate rather than boycott reflects Israeli concerns that the judges could order Israel to halt its war against Hamas and tarnish its image internationally.

Investor William Ackman throws weight behind dissidents in Harvard board battle
AI vs plagiarism: Bill Ackman’s push for Artificial Intelligence gives ‘sleepless’ nights to university faculties Ackman has criticized Harvard for not doing enough to protect its students from antisemitism incidents in the wake of the October attack by the militant Islamist Palestinian group Hamas on Israel and subsequent Israeli military operations in Gaza, as well as for the university's adoption of diversity and inclusion programs he argues stifle meritocracy. The board candidates he is backing, Ackman said, are "talented, accomplished and motivated people, and their candidacy will serve as a wakeup call for Harvard." They range in age from 36 to 38, and all have served in the U.S.

How Red Sea attacks put India’s trade at risk
The Gaza war has long posed the risk of escalating into a broader crisis for the global economy, and recent developments in the Red Sea are proving this concern to be valid. Yemen's Houthi militants have been attacking commercial ships, purportedly in solidarity with Palestine, potentially jeopardizing global supply chains and driving up commodity prices, especially for fuel. It goes without saying that India is vulnerable to these cascading impacts.

Iran Guards commander challenges 'enemy' naval presence in region
Guards vowed on Saturday to reach «the enemy» far and near as tensions soar on key shipping routes where Tehran's allies have been attacking vessels. «Today, we are facing an all-out battle with the enemy,» said Guards commander Hossein Salami at a ceremony in the southern Gulf port city of Bandar Abbas, where the Guards' navy unveiled a new ship named «Abu Mahdi» and 100 missile launchers. Salami did not name the enemy, but 22 nations have agreed to participate in a U.S.-led coalition to safeguard commercial traffic in the Red Sea from attacks by Yemen's Iran-backed Houthi movement. The Houthi attacks since November are a show of support for the Palestinian group Hamas in its war with Israel. In response, many major shipping companies have switched to the longer and more costly route around the Africa's Cape of Good Hope rather than pass through the Suez Canal, which handles about 12% of global trade. «We need to defend our national interests to wherever they extend,» Salami said in a televised speech. «It will be harmful for the enemy to be found near and at a half distant.

She goes along with U Penn president Elizabeth Magill who quit last month, and with pressure growing on their MIT counterpart, Sally Kornbluth, to follow suit. Gay and Magill are collateral damage of the Israel-Hamas war.
