Israel on trial | Palestine This Week with Mouin Rabbani

The International Court of Justice ruled that Israel's occupation of the West Bank and East Jerusalem are illegal and Israel must not only end its apartheid policies but also pay reparations to Palestinians. This isn't the first time the ICJ has ruled against Israel, but 20 years after its ruling on the Separation Wall, the structure remains standing and has been expanded. Does international law apply to the occupation state? 

Join us for MEMO's weekly review with Nasim Ahmed and special guest Mouin Rabbani, where we take a deep dive into the key events from over the past week. On this week's podcast we discuss the groundbreaking ruling by the International Court of Justice (ICJ) on Israel's occupation and its far-reaching implications. From dissecting the many Israeli violations outlined in the judgment to exploring how this decision reshapes our understanding of the events of 7 October, this episode promises to challenge your perspective on international law and the Israel-Palestine conflict.

Nasim and Mouin also tackle the burning question of whether Israel is effectively "gaming" the international system. They'll examine how Israel's approach to international law compares to that of other nations, and what this means for the future of global diplomacy. Plus, don't miss their insights on the recent Israeli attack on the Yemeni port city of Hudaydah, Yemen’s ability to target the occupation state directly and the spike in Israelis leaving the country. Plus, we ask if President Biden will be remembered for rescuing US democracy, as his supporters claim or as the president who worked hand in glove with Israel to execute a genocide?    

Tune in for a riveting conversation that goes beyond the headlines. Whether you're a longtime follower of Middle East politics or just curious about the latest developments, this episode of Palestine This Week is sure to leave you with plenty to ponder.
