The accusation that Israel has committed war crimes in Gaza — likely hundreds, maybe even thousands — has become all but undeniable. Even Israel’s supporters, those who defended or withstood this publicly broadcast nightmare for 19 months, have reached some semblance of a limit.

For our latest cover story, @suzyhans examines how the war in Gaza has upended decades of humanitarian law: nymag.com/intelligencer/… In its annihilative force and ambition, the Israeli campaign is unique among modern conflicts.

In April, Pete Hegseth fired three of his most senior advisors at the Pentagon—Dan Caldwell, Darin Selnick, and Colin Carroll—without explanation. Now, all three speak in depth about what happened inside Hegseth’s chaotic Department of Defense. According to multiple sources, the firings stemmed from a meltdown triggered by Hegseth’s chief of staff, Joe Kasper, who believed he was the subject of an Inspector General investigation for drug use, leading to Caldwell, Selnik, and Caroll eventually being escorted out of the Pentagon — an institution they had helped Hegseth staff and lead. Kasper was soon reassigned to “special projects” and then pushed out of the Department of Defense altogether. nymag.com/intelligencer/…
