Why Netanyahu Is Calling for an End to U.S. Military Aid to Israel
The US has supplied arms to Israel since the early 1960s. But it was only in the late 1970s – following the October/Yom Kippur War of 1973 and the subsequent Egypt-Israel peace treaty of 1979 – that Israel became a major recipient of military aid from the US. Washington’s thinking at that time was twofold. It wanted to stave off any further existential threats to Israel by maintaining its Cold War ally’s qualitative edge in military technology over any Soviet backed Arab potential enemies. US military aid to both Israel and Egypt was also intended as a reward for the land-for-peace deal concluded between these two former enemies.

ICJ to Hold Hearings Over Israel's Rafah Attacks
The UN's International Court of Justice will hold hearings on Thursday and Friday to discuss new emergency measures sought by South Africa over Israel's attacks on Rafah during the war in Gaza, the tribunal said Monday.
The hearings on May 16 and 17 will deal with South Africa's request to the court to order more emergency measures against Israel over its attacks on Rafah, the tribunal added, part of an ongoing case that accuses Israel of acts of genocide against Palestinians.
Israel has previously said it is acting in accordance with international law in Gaza and has called South Africa's genocide case baseless and accused Pretoria of acting as "the legal arm of Hamas."
