If a Muslim shot two people in Miami because he thought they were Israelis it would be called terrorism and there would be wall-to-wall media coverage.

There is no excuse that Africa still lacks permanent representation on the Security Council. I will keep working with the @_AfricanUnion and all @UN Member Countries to ensure the representation Africa needs – including with two permanent members.

from Al Jazeera Israel is still blocking shelters from entering the Strip – one of the conditions of the agreement. Tens of thousands of mobile homes as part of the ceasefire deal have still not been allowed into Gaza, and are stuck.. awaiting Israeli permission to enter Gaza.

An emotional Christoph Heusgen, chairman of the Munich Security Conference, closed the 61st MSC this afternoon, marking the end of his term as the MSC chairmen which started in 2022 rte.ie/news/world/202…

Many of you will be aware of the shameful decision to run Kieran Fogarty’s sentence for killing Joe Drennan concurrent to the 8 yrs he got for another conviction, meaning he effectively isn’t serving time for a fatal hit and run. Please sign & share.😞 change.org/p/help-us-get-…

Again: people and nations aspire to freedom, dignity, and self-determination. The Jews did. The Palestinians do. That aspiration is not going anywhere. The only solution is political. Anything else is a fantasy, and a nightmare.

#Gaza is in crisis: 70% of infrastructure, 60% of homes, 65% of roads are gone. @UNOPS is commited to immediate aid & long-term rebuilding: restoring power, water, hospitals, schools, shelters & roads. “Rapid, unhindered & safe passage for aid is non-negotiable” - @UNOPS_Chief

You're in luck, Sara. For decades now, people in Gaza have been saying they would like to move, voluntarily, to the places from which they--or their parents or grandparents--were expelled. I don't think they should be prevented from doing so either.

from Haaretz: 'Israeli Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich hopes to see the relocation of the Palestinian population out of Gaza kicking off within weeks, according to an interview he gave to Israel's Channel 12 News.'

The Aviva is all set….🔴⚫️ “Every child has a right to play - in support of medical aid for Palestinians.” 🇵🇸

Israeli doctors have attested to having to amputate the limbs of Palestinian hostages because of the condition in the centres. Did any Western media reach out to interview this doctor? No.

I'm a fan of our neutrality, but our abdication of responsibility to defend ourselves and share the burden of European defense is embarrassing. We spend 0.21% of our budget on defense. Lowest in Europe We're freeloaders. Changing that doesn't affect our neutrality.

What are the sponsors who gave their word that Israel is committed to implementing the signed agreements going to do now? The three Israeli prisoners were released, but Israel refused to engage in talks to implement the second phase, refused to allow the entry of tents & mobile units to provide some shelter, & also reneged on allowing heavy equipment to enable the clearing of the rubble & the digging out of over 10,000 Palestinians bodies buried there.

“Like a dream come true” BREAKING: Reports emerging from Gaza confirm that the historic manuscripts of the Great Omari Mosque have been salvaged!

At the end of a week in which two Jerusalem booksellers were taken into custody and many of their books impounded, Sunday Times columnist Matthew Syed announces that Israel is the home of free speech.

I strongly condemn the attack on a @UNIFIL_ convoy in Beirut, in which several peacekeepers were injured by a group of protestors on the main road to the airport. Such attacks are absolutely unacceptable. The perpetrators must be held accountable.

The ceasefire has enabled humanitarian organisations to bring welcome aid to #Gaza and stop the deepening of the hunger. UNRWA teams have reached on estimate over 1.5 million people with critical food assistance since it began. Yet, "the needs are huge for the population in Gaza. They need absolutely everything" tells @UNLazzarini to @AJ. UNRWA must be supported to continue delivering.

Now here’s a mystery: if you say from the river to the sea they can lock you up, you or me. but if you say from the sea to the river you can be the Israeli prime minister.

“Living above the shop” in Shoreditch London. This is what we want for Dublin. An application for 4 apartments on Grafton St was objected to. But nothing lights up a city or creates a sense of safety than a populated street.
