Trump gives Israel "carte blanche" for Gaza atrocities: Gideon Levy

Haaretz columnist Gideon Levy delivered a scathing critique of Israel's displacement plans for Gaza during his Al Jazeera interview, describing proposals to cram Palestinians into Rafah or force them out entirely as a "satanic programme" that would constitute another major war crime. The Israeli journalist argued that neither the Trump administration nor most Israeli citizens would oppose these measures, with Americans showing no concern for Palestinian welfare and Israelis largely viewing their nation as exempt from international law. Levy painted a disturbing picture of Israeli public opinion, where the prime minister's international arrest warrant barely registers and many consider legal frameworks to be "anti-Semitic tools". While predicting another temporary ceasefire might occur, he warned it would likely be violated like previous agreements, with no meaningful resolution to the conflict. The veteran columnist dismissed notions of Israeli victory, noting Hamas' continued resistance and the unresolved hostage crisis, but expressed alarm that many Israelis believe prolonging the bloodshed could somehow achieve the impossible. His bleak analysis suggested Israel's government has free rein to pursue increasingly extreme policies as the world looks on, with the mainstream population either supportive or indifferent to actions that would make the nation an international pariah.
