Today marks a watershed moment in international justice: The International Criminal Court has issued arrest warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and former Defense Minister Yoav Gallant. This unprecedented development—the first time the ICC has ever indicted a pro-Western official—wouldn’t have been possible without rigorous, on-the-ground reporting from Palestinian journalists committed to documenting the truth.

At Drop Site News, we’ve dedicated ourselves to exposing war crimes and holding the U.S. government accountable for its role in the genocide—reporting stories that many mainstream media outlets won’t touch. We are humbled by the bravery and tenacity of Palestinian journalists in Gaza, some of whom report regularly for Drop Site News. More than 180 media workers have been killed in Gaza for doing their jobs and the overwhelming response from powerful American journalists has been silence.

While corporate news networks have often looked away or helped sanitize Israeli war crimes, our reporters have been committed to exposing the truth, working with on the ground sources in Gaza and the West Bank to document the devastating daily horrors being committed by the Israeli government with the full backing and support from the bipartisan U.S. establishment.

Our sustained coverage has revealed:

• Systematic blocking of food, water and humanitarian aid
• Bombing of medical facilities, refugee camps, and the wholesale targeting of civilians
• Targeting and killing of UN workers, medical personnel, and journalists
• Torture and abuse of Palestinan detainees
• Military intelligence operations targeting vulnerable populations in the West Bank
• U.S. approval to bomb aid trucks

This work matters.

While corporate media outlets remain constrained by commercial interests and self-censorship, Drop Site News answers only to our readers and the truth. This independence has allowed us to build an unassailable record of events as they actually occurred, not as powerful interests wished them to be portrayed – but we need your help.

Our work isn’t done. The ICC arrest warrants are just the beginning of a long process that demands continued accountability for the ongoing crimes in Gaza being facilitated by the U.S. government. The U.S. has worked hard to undermine the war crimes prosecution of Israeli leaders and the incoming Republican Senate Majority Leader is threatening to impose sanctions against war crimes prosecutors, while other GOP senators are threatening to retaliate against nations that uphold international law by arresting Netanyahu.

As a non-profit newsroom, we depend on our readers to maintain our independence and continue this vital reporting. Without corporate interests or government funding directing our coverage, we can pursue stories wherever they lead—even when they challenge the most powerful figures in the world.
