A view of Gaza City after Israel’s destruction of it, February 4, 2025

WE CAN’T say the mask has slipped. US President Donald Trump has never masked his contempt for human rights or international law.

But the US president saying the United States will “take over” the Gaza Strip and expel all its inhabitants is a watershed moment. It is an unambiguous demand for ethnic cleansing on a huge scale.

Trump doesn’t mince words about what he sees happening to Palestinians who refuse to be driven out, saying they have to go to “some place they can live and not die.” Nor is the erasure of the Palestinians to be confined to Gaza; he moots Israel’s annexation of the West Bank too.

It hardly needs saying that if Trump wanted Palestinians to “live and not die,” he would not continue to arm the Israeli war machine that has killed them in their tens of thousands over the past year, or connive, by extending the suspension of funds to the Palestinian refugee agency UNRWA, at starving them of food and medicine.

The same point applies to the British government.

The mood music from Labour’s Trump apologists is that there’s nothing to see here — it’s just Trump, he says a lot of wild things. Scottish Blairite Jim Murphy says we shouldn’t take him “literally in what he says because he often has no intention of doing it.” Cabinet Minister Steve Reed says there’s no need for a “running commentary” on US presidential statements and we should give Trump credit for securing the current ceasefire.

Foreign Secretary David Lammy likewise refuses to acknowledge the US government’s extremism, saying “Trump is right” to want to rebuild Gaza — a ludicrous evasion of the central part of Trump’s proposal, which is to rebuild it without Palestinians — before reiterating support for the two-state solution.

To say Trump’s plan for the ethnic cleansing of the Palestinians is too outlandish to take seriously ignores the brutal fact that the ethnic cleansing of the Palestinians is already happening.

Campaigners outside the High Court in London where Al-Haq, a Palestinian human rights organisation, is taking legal action against the Department for Business and Trade over decisions not to suspend licences for the export of weapons and military equipment to Israel, November 18, 2024

A HIGH COURT hearing will be scheduled on the government’s continued export of F-35 fighter jet parts to Israel, it has been confirmed.

This is the latest development in a legal challenge to the arms sales brought by Palestinian human rights organisation Al-Haq and the Global Legal Action Network (Glan).

Last September, the Labour government failed to impose a full arms embargo as Israel continued its genocide in Gaza, suspending only 30 arms export licences out of 350 in total.

Among the goods still being exported were parts for F-35 warplanes, which are used to drop 2,000lb bombs on innocent civilians.

Court documents revealed in November that the government knew there was a “clear risk” that the exports could be used to violate international humanitarian law, but it did not suspend them, claiming that such action would “have a profound impact on international peace and security” and “undermine US confidence in the UK and Nato.”

In his latest ruling on the export of arms to Israel, Mr Justice Chamberlain noted: “There is a powerful public interest in a quick, final determination of its legality, one way or the other.”

Israeli General given special immunity for secret trip to Britain

Israeli General Oded Basyuk and his delegation were given special diplomatic immunity to visit Britain last month, the UK government has confirmed.

Basyuk is the head of the Israel Defence Forces (IDF) Operations Directorate, which is responsible for preparing the Israeli military for war.

He was on the ground in Gaza during Israel’s most recent onslaught and presided over decision-making on last year’s offensive in southern Lebanon.

Declassified exposed Basyuk’s trip to London on 22 January, questioning the Israeli General and his delegation after they had finished meetings at the Ministry of Defence (MoD) in Whitehall.

The UK government has now revealed it “gave consent for special mission status for the visit to the UK on 21-22 January of Major General Oded Bassiuk… and delegation” to attend meetings with officials with the MoD, Foreign Office, and Cabinet Office.

The information was provided in response to a parliamentary question from Brian Leishman, the Labour MP for Alloa and Grangemouth.

Jonathan Purcell from the International Centre of Justice for Palestinians (ICJP) told Declassified: “It is not only an insult to the victims of the genocide in Gaza, but also a total disregard to the rule of law, for the UK to grant diplomatic immunity to senior Israeli officials who have been actively responsible for international crimes against the Palestinian people.”

While Basyuk is not currently sought by the International Criminal Court (ICC), it is possible to issue private arrest warrants in Britain under universal jurisdiction legislation, which allows for the most serious crimes to be prosecuted regardless of where they are committed.

However, the UK government blocked this avenue for judicial redress by issuing Basyuk and his delegation with a “special mission” certificate, granting them diplomatic immunity for the duration of the visit.
