Karim Khan, Edan Alexander, Trump, Aid, Hamas, No News: The Weekly Conquest Week of 5.11.25 – 5.17.25
Welcome to the ZioKnight
Week of March 11, 2025
Capsule Hotel
When talking about travel, it always feels weird saying I’ve been to Asia, because Israel doesn’t feel like it should make the cut. I always wonder what it would be like going further east on the continent. I can say I understand it much more confidently after staying in a Japanese style capsule hotel for the week!
Sunday 5.11
Kharim Kahn of the ICC
The Chief Prosecutor of the International Criminal Court was accused of sexual assault. Amid his alleged assaults, he put out arrest warrants for Israeli leaders. The word on the street is that his focus on Israel was simply a diversion. [1]
Monday 5.12
Edan Alexander
Edan Alexander was released. Thank you President Trump. [2]
Tuesday 5.13
President Trump embraced isolationist langauge in his speech in Saudi Arabia. He blasted “neo-cons” and “nation-builders,” striking a similiar tone to President Obama’s foreign policy team. He also announced the cessation of sanctions against Syria to “give them a chance at greatness.” [3]
Wednesday 5.14
Israel announced it will resume aid into Gaza. The delivery will be done in a far more secure way, to prevent it from falling into the hands of Hamas. The news was not met by optimism by Israel’s critics, because many are not satisfied with the delivery mechanism. [4]
Thursday 5.15
Hamas applauded the murder of a pregnant woman on her way to the hospital to give birth in the West Bank as a “heroic act.” The child miraculously survived and was delivered by c-section. [5]
Friday 5.16
Friday’s news is the absense of news. Insiders say that no progress has been made in ceasefire talks as Israel’s deadline has been met. [6]
Saturday 5.17
Yuval Raphael at Eurovision Finals
Israel isn’t known for being loved by international organizations. Nevertheless, the Jewish State’s very own Yuval Raphael placed second in the Eurovision finals. Mazel tov Yuval! [7]
