Summary

Today’s Headlines: The International Criminal Court (ICC) is reportedly considering issuing arrest warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and other senior Israeli officials for their actions during the Gaza military campaign. Netanyahu reportedly asked President Biden to help prevent the ICC from issuing these warrants. Additionally, US congress members from both parties have attempted to warn the ICC against issuing the warrants. A coalition of attorneys, including some from the Biden administration, has urged President Biden to halt military aid to Israel, accusing Israel of violating US statutes and international humanitarian law. Amnesty International has also called for the halt of arms sales to Israel, alleging violations of international law. Campus protests have spread across universities in the US, with tensions escalating, while legal challenges from several Republican-controlled states are targeting federal expansions to Title IX aimed at protecting transgender students. On a positive note, a federal appeals court ruled that state health care plans must cover gender-affirming surgeries, citing violations of the anti-discrimination provision of the Affordable Care Act.
