Welcome to +972’s Sunday Recap! Here’s your wrap-up of the latest articles from our contributors.

Following the ICJ’s advisory opinion on the illegality of Israel’s occupation, Ghousoon Bisharat interviewed Palestinian lawyer Diana Buttu to unpack the implications of the ruling and the lessons of turning international law into action. Dan Owen described how the Israeli army uses the veneer of internal accountability to fend off external criticism of its actions, but its record reveals how few perpetrators are punished.

Reviewing a new book by Asaf Elia-Shalev, Ben Reiff wrote about the contested legacy of the Israeli Black Panthers, who have been largely forgotten half a century after setting off a political earthquake from the impoverished streets of Jerusalem.

Ibtisam Mahdi wrote about how Palestinian universities in Gaza are barely surviving Israel’s scholasticide, with possibly thousands of faculty and students killed and campuses destroyed across the Strip. Awdah Hathaleen described how he saw the first Israeli bulldozers arrive in his West Bank village of Umm al-Khair 17 years ago, and how his son will now carry similarly painful memories after the most brutal weeks in their history.
