Thank you South Africa for taking this stand, too.

Breaking: Highlighting 'worsening conditions of life faced by Palestinians in Gaza—in particular spread of famine/starvation,' Intl Court of Justice orders Israel to (1) ensure 'unhindered provision' of services & aid; (2) not violate Genocide Convention—including by blocking aid

Really honored to be joining this incredible panel of scholars to interrogate Columbia’s anti-semitism task force.

Critical today's UN Security Council resolution is followed by action:
Israel: Facilitate delivery of aid, stop starving Gaza's population & halt unlawful attacks;
Palestinian armed groups: Release all civilians held hostage;
US & other states: suspend arms to Israel.
Human Rights Watch reacts

Breaking: OxfamAmerica & Human Rights Watch submit memo to US govt showing how Israel is using US weapons & blocking aid in violation of intl & US law. Israel's assurances to respect the law arent credible—the US should suspend its military aid hrw.org/news/2024/03/1…

EU Foreign Policy Chief Josep Borrell Fontelles today: 'Gaza was before the war the greatest open-air prison. Today it is the greatest open-air graveyard. A graveyard for tens of thousands of people & also a graveyard for many of the most important principles of humanitarian law.'

This was hard to write. “Are we indeed all Palestinians?”

Pure gratitude and admiration, South African Government.
For each and every word.

This artwork encapsulates how twisted it is for the US to airdrop a paltry amount of aid into Gaza when it is the one arming, shielding, and justifying Israel’s plausible genocide of Palestinians in Gaza. If the US truly cared about starving children, it would #StopArmingIsrael .

Breaking: At World Court hearing on Israel's occupation, 26 states—more than half of all who participated—& 3 interstate orgs repping 90 separate nations highlighted Israel's apartheid against Palestinians. A clear growing global consensus. A🧵of excerpts twitter.com/OmarSShakir/st…

BREAKING: We've notified Columbia University that they must reverse the unlawful suspensions of two student groups (Columbia UniversitySJP & BC/CU Jewish Voice for Peace) for engaging in peaceful protest and to reinstate both chapters by March 1.

South Africa petitions the International Court of Justice over situation in Rafah. Details here from the Presidency…

The Int'l Criminal Court Prosecutor on Rafah: 'The laws applicable to armed conflict can't be interpreted so as to render them hollow.. I haven't seen any discernable change in conduct by Israel.. Those who don't comply with the law shouldn't complain when my Office takes action.'

I cant comprehend how YOU,policymakers with the power & OBLIGATION to end the atrocities in Gaza,can gaze into your children's eyes & not experience a pang in the stomach.There must be a moment of reckoning unless you live in a bubble of disconnect, or humanity has forsaken you.

.World Health Organization (WHO) stands in solidarity with our colleagues at PRCS and mourns the deaths of Yusuf Zeino and Ahmed Al-Madhoun, brave PRCS ambulance crew members killed while trying to reach 6-year-old Hind.

We offer our deepest condolences to the families of those who were killed,…

Forcing 1 million+ displaced Palestinians in Rafah to again evacuate would be unlawful & have catastrophic consequences, says Human Rights Watch. There's nowhere safe to go in Gaza. The ICJ has ordered Israel to prevent genocide. The int'l community should act to prevent further atrocities.
