What does that mean for Israel—and Hamas? Photo: Ashraf Amra/Getty Images Julia Ioffe October 31, 2023 For eight years, David Scheffer had the incredibly enviable job of working closely with trailblazer and, to women of a certain age in foreign policy (like myself), idol Madeleine Albright. Trained as a lawyer, Scheffer did a brief stint as a foreign policy staffer in Congress before going to work for Albright, first at the U.N. and then at the State Department—and then becoming a pioneer in his own right. As the Clinton administration dealt with the genocides unfolding in Bosnia and Rwanda, Scheffer became the point man in helping the U.S.—and the world—create a global legal framework for how to manage and prosecute war crimes. Scheffer was a founding father of the International Criminal Court: he helped create the Rome Statute, which established the court and four core legal ideas, including genocide and war crimes. Schaffer signed the statute on behalf of the United States. He was also the inaugural U.S. Ambassador at Large for war crimes and helped set up the I.C.C.’s war crimes tribunals for Rwanda, the former Yugoslavia, Sierra Leone, and Cambodia. He is now a law professor and a member of the Council of Foreign Relations. When I met David the other day and learned about his professional past, I had the same question that I’m sure everyone does, given the allegations in the news: Has Israel committed war crimes in Gaza? His response surprised me, so I asked him if I could interview him for TBTB. We ended up speaking for almost two hours, so this conversation is condensed for clarity and length—though it was really hard to find what to cut. In any case, I hope you find it as riveting and informative as I did.

But they have their demands of the newbie boss, too. Julia Ioffe • October 25, 2023 MEMORIES OF THE TWO-STATE SOLUTION A conversation with Dennis Ross, the chief U.S. negotiator in the 2000 peace talks, about why they fell apart, how Israelis came to believe that the Palestinian problem could be managed, and how Oct. 7 exploded that fiction. Abby Livingston • October 24, 2023 DARKNESS ON THE EDGE OF TOWN News and notes on an unprecedented era in congressional history. Peter Hamby • October 23, 2023 BIDEN, GEN-Z, AND THE ILLIBERAL LEFT The uncompromising politics and tortured jargon of campus activists are no longer confined to college campuses. Democrats in Congress say they’re worried that young progressives attacking Israel are providing ammo for right-wing opponents and hurting their own cause. Eriq Gardner • October 23, 2023 WILL THE TRUMP TRIALS BE TELEVISED? NBC and other media companies are petitioning the court to allow cameras inside the courtroom, a move that could turn Trump’s criminal trial in D.C. into the O.J. Simpson circus on steroids. Tara Palmeri • October 19, 2023 THE KEVIN MCCARTHY REVIVAL PLOT So does Kevin McCarthy want his old job back, or does he instead want to cut a role for himself as a background-lurking shadow Speaker fundraising rainmaker? Either way, unlike his predecessors, he doesn’t seem to be going anywhere… Tina Nguyen • October 18, 2023 THE TRUMP H.R. SHADOW BATTLE In preparation for a Republican nominee who is long on outrage and short on process, two shadow organizations—one staffed by ideologues, the other by the usual suspects—are competing to staff a putative second Trump administration with their own agendas in mind.

Theodore Schleifer • October 17, 2023 ROCKBRIDGE OVER TROUBLED WATERS The secretive, Trump-friendly, Silicon Valley-inflected donor alliance is less interested in the Republican primary than in redpilling techies into MAGA populism, hyping Tucker’s new mediaco, and moving millions to the G.O.P. grassroots—the latest effort to replace the Koch-era coalition with something younger and edgier. Abby Livingston • October 16, 2023 JIM JORDAN’S HOSTILE TAKEOVER The hardliner Boehner once called a “legislative terrorist” is mounting an unprecedented campaign to whip Republican votes. But does he have the numbers? And could taking the speakership cost him the House? Peter Hamby • October 16, 2023 DEATH OF A SALESMAN The brief rise and rapid fall of Vivek Ramaswamy is a pretty good indicator that even in the chaotic universe of Republican politics, with its shameless demands and perverse incentives, certain rules still apply. Among them: People have to like you. Tara Palmeri • October 12, 2023 THE TRUMP ERAS TOUR Political rivals and media critics have been caught off guard by the unexpected professionalism and discipline of the 2024 Trump campaign, led by the triumvirate of Wiles, Miller, and LaCivita. They’ve cut costs and stripped organizational layers with a singular purpose: supporting the principal, no matter what. So, will it last? Tina Nguyen • October 11, 2023 WAR & SCALISE A small crew of Republican holdouts—McCarthy loyalists, Jordan fans, media gadflies—are threatening to tank Scalise’s speakership bid, just like they did to his predecessor.
