Trabajamos por una cadena de valor más sólida que genere bienestar para las familias productoras del sureste y contribuya al cuidado de nuestra biodiversidad. 🍫🇲🇽

A new level of open & deliberate defiance of international law, including of the privileges & immunities of the United Nations, by the State of Israel. Early this morning, Israeli forces stormed the UNRWA Headquarters, a United Nations site, in East Jerusalem. Bulldozers entered the compound & began demolishing buildings inside it under the watch of lawmakers & a member of the government. This constitutes an unprecedented attack against a United Nations agency & its premises. Like all UN Member States & countries committed to the international rule-based order, Israel is obliged to protect & respect the inviolability of UN premises. This comes in the wake of other steps taken by Israeli authorities to erase the Palestine Refugee identity. On January 12, Israeli forces stormed into an UNRWA health centre in East Jerusalem & ordered it to close. Water + power supplies to UNRWA facilities - including health & education buildings - are also scheduled to be cut in the coming weeks. This is a direct result of legislation passed by the Israeli parliament in December, which stepped up existing anti-UNRWA laws adopted in 2024. These actions, together with previous arson attacks & a large-scale disinformation campaign, fly in the face of the ruling in October by the International Court of Justice, which restated that Israel is obliged under international law to facilitate UNRWA’s operations, not hinder or prevent them. The court also stressed that Israel has no jurisdiction over East Jerusalem. There can be no exceptions. This must be a wake-up call. What happens today to UNRWA will happen tomorrow to any other international organisation or diplomatic mission, whether in the Occupied Palestinian Territory or anywhere around the world. International law has come under increasing attack for too long & is risking irrelevancy in the absence of response by Member States.

"We like to think we would have saved Anne Frank. The truth is different. The truth is, crippled by fear, nearly all of us will only save ourselves, even at the expense of others." Amazing @ChrisLynnHedges, always.

Insightful reporting by the @BBC and @BarbaraTasch on the Spain power outage 😂

Our mission to negotiate the release of @UN staff detainees and to assess the health and humanitarian situation in #Yemen concluded today. We continue to call for the detainees' immediate release. As we were about to board our flight from Sana’a, about two hours ago, the airport came under aerial bombardment. One of our plane’s crew members was injured. At least two people were reported killed at the airport. The air traffic control tower, the departure lounge — just a few meters from where we were — and the runway were damaged. We will need to wait for the damage to the airport to be repaired before we can leave. My UN and @WHO colleagues and I are safe. Our heartfelt condolences to the families whose loved ones lost their lives in the attack.

BREAKING: 18 year old Marcus Fakana has been sentenced to ONE YEAR IN DUBAI PRISON for holiday sex with a British-Indian girl who is 18 (17 at the time). Marcus feels abandoned by the British government and Keir Starmer who just spent the weekend in the UAE. While people like JD Vance and the Irish government have been able to resolve cases of injustice and bring their citizens home, the UK has prioritised trade deals over people’s lives. This is truly abhorrent. David Lammy and Keir Starmer have failed Marcus. This is an embarrassment to Britain. The UK was once the most diplomatically influential Western country in the Middle East. Now, we are seeing countries like Canada, Malaysia, Ireland and the US leaving the UK way behind. The Labor government should be ashamed they have not secured the freedom of a teenage tourist. It wasn't a difficult job. Marcus will appeal his sentence but has already been held in Dubai since September and now has a one year sentence to face. He was desperately hoping to come home this week but prosecutorial mishandling in the first stages of the case meant it wasn’t heard as a misdemeanour when it should have been. The family have issued a plea to Dubai ruler, HH Sheikh Mohammed Al Maktoum to spare Marcus for consensual sex with another British citizen. I urge young people and parents to reconsider holidays in Dubai where so many people find themselves at risk of unfair and lengthy detention in prisons notorious for human rights abuses and torture. Holidaymakers should book elsewhere until Marcus is free. There is so much public support for Marcus. They want to see him home and a year in prison is not only unreasonable, it’s an utter disgrace.

On political endorsement wapo.st/3YmeD3T This is cowardice, with democracy as its casualty. @realdonaldtrump will see this as an invitation to further intimidate owner @jeffbezos (and others). Disturbing spinelessness at an institution famed for courage.

UNIFIL statement: This morning, peacekeepers at a position near Kafer Kela observed an IDF Merkava tank firing at their watchtower. Two cameras were destroyed, and the tower was damaged. Yet again we see direct and apparently deliberate fire on a UNIFIL position.

The safety of @UN personnel & property must be guaranteed.   The inviolability of UN premises must be respected at all times.   Attacks against peacekeepers are in breach of international law & may constitute a war crime.   @UNIFIL_ personnel & premises must never be targeted.

We must all stand up against the repression activists are facing just for speaking up against the genocide and occupation in Palestine. In Dortmund, in the whole of Germany and all over the world. We will not be silenced; free Palestine 🇵🇸✊🏽 2/2 #FreePalestine #StandWithGaza #StandWithLebanon #CeasefireNow
