🚨 The Global Sumud Flotilla has been attacked by Israeli forces inside Greece's Search and Rescue Zone - over 1,000km from Gaza. The EU and Member States must take action against State-sponsored piracy now!

On April 30, 1622, Iranian forces defeated the Portuguese colonial occupiers and expelled them from the island of #Hormuz. This day is officially recognized in Iran’s calendar as Persian Gulf Day. Happy #PersianGulf Day!

Leaders of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) have rejected any fees on ships crossing the Strait of Hormuz, and called for a secure and free navigation in the waterway, the bloc's secretary-general said on Tuesday, Anadolu reports. In a consultative meeting in the Saudi city of Jeddah, the Gulf leaders rejected Iran's closure of strait, describing the move as “illegal,” Jasem Mohamed Albudaiwi said. The leaders also ordered swift steps for building a joint oil and gas pipeline, along with an early warning system to counter ballistic missiles, Albudaiwi added. The Strait of Hormuz is one of the world’s most critical energy chokepoints, with roughly one-fifth of global oil supply passing through it daily prior to the start of the war between Iran, the US and Israel. The waterway has faced disruptions since early March following the outbreak of the war. The conflict is currently on hold under a ceasefire, while diplomatic efforts are ongoing to reach a lasting agreement. middleeastmonitor.com/20260428-gulf-…

Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya is being held unlawfully. His arbitrary detention must immediately be brought to an end. Each additional day compounds the responsibility of those detaining him. May all Palestinian hostages be released soon. May the perpetrators face justice soon.

Israel-backed armed groups are expanding their reach in #Gaza. While most activity has remained near the Yellow Line, recent clashes in central Khan Younis and al-Mawasi in #Rafah signaled operations reaching deeper into areas under Hamas control.🔗acleddata.com/report/who-are…

So glad to see this book come to light. A powerful exposé of media complicity in manufacturing consent that has enabled mass atrocities in Palestine. May there be accountability.

The Nakba was not a moment. It was the systematic destruction of a society. Between 1947–1949: • 400–600 Palestinian towns and villages were depopulated • ~750,000 Palestinians expelled • Hundreds of localities were destroyed, repopulated, and renamed This is documented by historians, including Walid Khalidi, Benny Morris, and others. 🧵 Thread :

“This conflict was made in Britain” War crimes, crimes against humanity, torture… A group of 13 Palestinians, supported by around 50 Members of Parliament, has submitted a petition demanding an official apology from the British government for colonial crimes committed between 1917 and 1948. The group aims to open a broader debate on reparations to Palestinians, include the teaching of this period in public schools, and declassify all archives related to the British mandate. Danny Friedman, a barrister who helped draft the 400-page petition, told TRT World that the group is considering escalating its claim to UK courts if the British government does not respond within the next few months

Qatar Affirms Freedom of Navigation in International Waterways is a Fundamental Principle of International Law New York | April 28, 2026 The State of Qatar has affirmed that freedom of navigation in international waterways is a fundamental principle of international law, stressing that serious dialogue, adherence to international legal principles, and good neighborliness are the cornerstones for resolving crises and avoiding their serious repercussions. This came in a statement delivered by HE Permanent Representative of the State of Qatar to the United Nations, Sheikha Alya Ahmed bin Saif Al-Thani, during the UN Security Council High-Level Open Debate titled, "The safety and protection of waterways in the maritime domain." Her Excellency stated that the meeting is held at a critical time. Threats to the safety of international waterways and freedom of navigation are escalating beyond traditional challenges, posing a threat to international peace, security, and economy, particularly in vital maritime corridors such as the Strait of Hormuz. Her Excellency pointed out that freedom of navigation is a core principle of international law as stipulated in the 1982 United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea. She also underscored the importance of UN Security Council Resolution 552 of 1984, which highlighted the Gulf region's significance for international peace and security and its vital role in global economic stability. The resolution called on all states to respect freedom of navigation in international waters and sea lanes for vessels bound to and from ports and facilities of coastal states not party to hostilities, as well as to respect the territorial integrity of those states. Regarding developments in the Strait of Hormuz, HE pointed to the importance of implementing UN Security Council Resolution 2817, submitted by the Kingdom of Bahrain on behalf of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) states and Jordan. The resolution condemned attacks by the Islamic Republic of Iran on the territories of Qatar, GCC countries, and Jordan, describing them as violations of international law and serious threats to international peace and security. It also reaffirmed support for the territorial integrity, sovereignty, and independence of GCC states and Jordan, and condemned any acts or threats aimed at closing the Strait of Hormuz or disrupting international navigation, stressing that any attempt to impede lawful transit passage or freedom of navigation in such waterways constitutes a serious threat to international peace and security. Her Excellency further highlighted the importance of ensuring the security of maritime routes, freedom of navigation, and international trade in accordance with international law to preserve regional stability and global supply chains. HE Permanent Representative also welcomed the ongoing mediation efforts led by the Islamic Republic of Pakistan, along with all parties engaged in mediation and good offices that contributed to reaching a ceasefire between the United States of America and the Islamic Republic of Iran, stressing the importance of full adherence to the ceasefire announcement to create conditions conducive to dialogue, including guaranteeing freedom of navigation in the Strait of Hormuz. Her Excellency reiterated Qatar's firm support for all diplomatic efforts and peaceful initiatives, emphasizing that serious dialogue and commitment to international law and good neighborliness remain the foundation for resolving crises and preventing their dangerous consequences, strengthening efforts to maintain international peace and security and the safety and protection of maritime waterways, in accordance with international law and relevant UN Security Council resolutions. #MOFAQatar
