Houssam-Eldine Reda

カメラが捉えた完璧なタイミング集、これは確かに奇跡だ...

Right now, Holocaust survivor Stephen Kapos is at the Nakba Day demonstration in London. The 88-year-old has attended almost every demonstration in the last two year’s protesting Israel’s genocide in Gaza. Stephen stands and sits with family and members of his group the ‘Holocaust Survivors & Descendants Against the Genocide in Gaza’. He told us: "Today, we commemorate not only the 1948 violent displacement and dispossession of hundreds of thousands of Palestinian Arabs during the creation of the State of Israel. But the unlawful occupation of Palestinian land and the ongoing genocide in Gaza.” “Justice for the Palestinians must be demanded and fought for by peoples of the world to force their own governments to act to end Israel's genocide, occupation and apartheid.” “That is why these marches have been attacked so much – it is the threat we pose to injustice. And the symbol of solidarity and hope we represent.” Photo by: @misanharriman

Today, we welcomed H.E. Houssam-Eldine Reda (@houssam_reda) , Ambassador of the Arab Republic of Egypt to the Republic of Azerbaijan, at the NGIC Headquarters. The meeting focused on NGIC’s ongoing international activities and initiatives, strengthening cooperation between #NGIC and #Egypt, as well as preparations for the XIV Global Baku Forum.

ICC Judge Nicolas Guillou @nicopaulmichel has revealed that he is currently unable to use his bank cards even on European soil. The reason? He is one of the judges who issued an arrest warrant for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, leading the United States to slap him

La responsabilidad pública también implica la obligación moral de no mirar hacia otro lado. Es un honor otorgar la Orden del Mérito Civil a una voz que sostiene la conciencia del mundo: @FranceskAlbs, Relatora Especial de la ONU en el territorio palestino ocupado.

Il premier spagnolo Pedro Sanchez ha chiesto alla Commissione europea di attivare lo statuto di blocco, lo scudo giuridico europeo, per proteggere Francesca Albanese e i giudici della Corte penale internazionale dalle sanzioni adottate dall’amministrazione americana nei loro confronti per le critiche a Israele.

Rabbi Dovid Feldman: “we are here to bring the Jewish voice in support of having Israel accountable for these crimes taking place in Gaza and Palestine. What is going on this genocide is unacceptable. This is against humanity and Jewish people. We are embarrassed”

IN PRAISE OF FRANCESCA ALBANESE There is a question that visits me in the small hours, when sleep will not come and the mind turns over old stones. The question is this: “What would I have done in the 1930s, on the morning after Kristallnacht?" Not what I say I would have done. Not what I hope I would have done. But what would I actually have done—when the trains began to run, when the neighbours grew quiet, when the cost of decency became the loss of everything? Most of us, I think, would have done little. Not from malice. From fear. From the soft, creeping conviction that someone else will speak, that the situation is complex, that we must be 'reasonable'. Lest we forget, the ordinary is the extraordinary's alibi. And how we have clung to that alibi! How we still cling to it! And then, every once in a terrible while, someone appears who does not cling. Someone who steps forward when others step back. Someone who speaks the name of the thing when everyone else is busy naming something else. Francesca Albanese is that someone. She stands before the world—alone, unarmed, armed only with law and language and a rare courage—and she says what the centrists will not say, what the foreign ministries will not say, what the editorial boards will not say. She says: "This is a genocide. And we are watching it happen." Do not tell me that is hyperbole. Do not tell me the term is contested. She has not used it lightly. She has used it as a physician arrives scientifically at a diagnosis—not to wound, but to warn. Not to inflame, but to name. And for that, they have come for her. Oh, how they have come for her. Smears. Investigations. Vicious editorials. Frozen bank accounts. Dispossession of the only apartment she had ever owned. The machinery of the respectable turned to crush her. Because the respectable cannot abide what she represents: a mirror held up to their complicity. Let us, once again, travel back to the 1930s. Back to the few who stood up when the trains began to run laden with Jewish people. There was Aristides de Sousa Mendes, a Portuguese consul in Bordeaux. He defied his own government. He signed thousands of visas, by hand, for hours, until his fingers bled. He saved more lives than Schindler. And he died penniless, disgraced, erased. There was a German officer in Warsaw named Wilm Hosenfeld. He hid a Jewish pianist in the rubble. He did not save thousands. He saved one. But that one—Władysław Szpilman—carried the memory. And memory is "the only haven from which we cannot be expelled." There was Raoul Wallenberg. There were the villagers of Le Chambon. There were the anonymous, the quiet, the furious few who said: “Not on my watch.” Francesca Albanese is their heir. Not because she carries a gun. Not because she hides refugees in her basement. But because she does something equally dangerous in a world that has perfected the art of not seeing. She sees. And she speaks. She does not speak as a diplomat. Thank Goodness she doesn't! Diplomats have given us the language of "there are arguments on both sides" and "restraint" and "proportionality." Diplomatic language is the perfumed grave of moral clarity. No, she speaks as a jurist. As a human being. As a woman who has looked into the abyss and refused to call it a "complex geopolitical landscape". Edna O'Brien once described a character who "had the recklessness of those who have already lost everything worth losing." Francesca Albanese has not lost everything. She has her dignity, her office, her voice, her family. But she has calculated the cost of speaking truth to power. And she has decided that that cost is infinitely less than the cost of silence. What is that cost? Let us name it. She has been called antisemitic—she, who stands on the ground of international law forged in the ashes of Auschwitz and the fires of Nuremberg. She has been called a conspiracy theorist—she, who cites every source, every footnote, every UN resolution. She has been called naive—she, who understands better than most the machinery of realpolitik. These accusations are not arguments. They are the spittle of the threatened. Because Francesca Albanese threatens something very precious to the powerful: the right to commit atrocity without being named. Friends, the 1930s did not arrive with jackboots and pogroms on day one. They arrived in small increments. With "reasonable" restrictions. With "proportional" measures. With the silence of the respectable. We tell ourselves that we would have been different. That we would have been Sousa Mendes. That we would have been Wallenberg. But most of us, I fear, would have been the neighbours who later said, "I didn't know." Francesca Albanese knows. And she refuses to pretend otherwise. So let us praise her. Not with statues or awards she does not seek. But with something harder: with our own refusal to look away. With our own voices, raised in places that are safe for us but dangerous for her. With our own bodies, if it comes to that. A brave woman, who was injured while demonstrating outside a US nuclear military base in 1982, the infamous Greenham Common, had told me that "the heart is a hunter for what it cannot have." But I say the heart is a hunter for what it will not lose. And what we will not lose is the memory of those who stood up when standing up cost everything. Francesca Albanese is standing up now. In our time. In our name. Under our indifferent sky. Let us stand with her. Not tomorrow. Not when it is safe. Now. [Extract from a speech in Athens on Sunday 3rd May 2026]

İspanya Başbakanı Pedro Sanchez, Filistin’e destek eylemleri yüzünden öğrenciler ve hocalar hakkında soruşturmalar açılan Columbia Üniversitesi'nde konuştu: 🔺“2022’de Rusya Ukrayna’ya işgal etti. ABD ve AB işgalciyi hemen kınadı ve yaptırımlar uyguladı. Kurbana destek verdi.” 🔺“Hala merak ediyorum; 60 bin Filistinlinin öldürüldüğü Gazze’yi kınamaktan bizi alıkoyan çifte standart nedir?” 🔺“Ülkeni savunmak bir şey. Ama 60.000 sivili öldürmek, hastaneleri bombalamak ve çocukları açlıktan öldürmek bambaşka bir şey." 🔺“21. yüzyılın en karanlık trajedilerinden birine gözlerimizin önünde tanık oluyoruz.”

España no mira hacia otro lado. Sancionar a quienes defienden la justicia internacional es poner en riesgo todo el sistema de derechos humanos. La UE no puede permanecer de brazos cruzados ante esta persecución. Por eso, hoy pedimos a la Comisión que active el Estatuto de Bloqueo, para proteger la independencia de la Corte Penal Internacional y de Naciones Unidas, y sus acciones para acabar con el genocidio en Gaza.

🇮🇱🇺🇸War correspondent Janine di Giovanni: “If a missile hits a hospital in Ukraine, Europe calls it a war crime. But if numerous missiles hit Gaza and 100 people die, it becomes Israel's right to self-defense.”

🚨🚨 عاجل رسميا : جمهورية مصر العربية تعلن تراجع المديونية المتراكمة على وزارة البترول لشركاء الاستثمار في إنتاج البترول والغاز من 6.1 مليار دولار في يونيو 2024 إلى نحو 714 مليون دولار بنهاية أبريل 2026 تمهيدًا لتسويتها بالكامل والوصول بها إلى صفر مستحقات بنهاية الشهر المقبل

“Open the road.” Palestinian children protest at barbed wire erected by Israeli settlers in occupied West Bank village of Um al-Khair—calling for their basic right to access their school, move freely, & live without occupation. Imagine your child facing this on the way to class

It's not just Gaza, Iran and Lebanon. In the West Bank since October 2023, Israeli soldiers and settlers have: Killed 1,071 Palestinians Demolished 6,000+ homes Built 200+ illegal outposts No more U.S. military aid to Israel.

A day of ordinary terror in the West Bank (where there is no Hamas or Hezbollah): Israeli settlers killed 3 people including a child after shooting at a school full of children. Israeli army came to protect the settlers. #StopTradeWithIsrael x.com/DropSiteNews/s…

If you don’t have a problem with this, you are the problem

Surely my life is not easy. But it is nothing compared to that of the Palestinians under Israeli Apartheid, who continue to be genocided and tortured. With or without sanctions, I will not stop standing for justice. Together we can and we will. #UNA
