And yet more challenge for President Donald J. Trump and Israel's allies and all those that said 'Never Again' from yet another characterisation from independent United Nations experts that Netanyahu's military strategy is genocidal. shar.es/ag6Unz

Palestine’s 🇵🇸 UN Ambassador Riyad Mansour asks the chilling questions that will echo through history to our eternal shame: “Is our blood cheap? Are our civilians less worthy of protection? Are our lives less sacred?”

"I thought those fighting hard for peace in Gaza would deserve it." Toshiyuki Mimaki, the Japanese anti-nuclear campaigner whose group, Nihon Hidankyo, won the Nobel Peace Prize, says he was surprised they won the award instead of people working to stop Israel’s war on Gaza.

Waking - in my safe and comfortable bed - to be told by my colleagues Crisis Action of videos of #Palestinians burning alive from #Israeli attacks on #Gaza after weekend of more attacks including on peacekeepers, still #Israeli hostages not released #NotATarget #CeasefireNOW

Last year, I joined my colleagues to introduce the #CeasefireNOW Resolution. One year later, our demands for peace remain stronger than ever. President Donald J. Trump: we need an immediate ceasefire and an arms embargo NOW.

We are horrified that children continue to be killed every day in Gaza. At least 19 people, including children, have been killed by an Israeli airstrike on a school-turned-shelter in north Gaza. Each child killed was someone’s everything, with hopes and dreams for the future.

Today we Refugees International joined 7 other humanitarian agencies to publish a scorecard on Israel's compliance with US demands on humanitarian access. Across the board, the Israeli govt has failed to comply with US & intl law on relief in Gaza. It is past time to halt arms xfers.

For similar reasons, this scorecard also provides one concrete way for the ICC and ICJ to assess the questions of the will and intent of the Israeli government with respect to humanitarian aid obstruction and collective punishment.

Shameful & unbecoming spin from Secretary Antony Blinken. Wish he'd just say: whatever slim chance there was of persuading Biden to get tough on Bibi evaporated when Trump won. So rather than do the right thing and watch Trump undo it, we've decided to do nothing. state.gov/secretary-anto…

Great work by lyse doucet and Tom Fletcher highlighting a much overlooked crisis demanding international action.

Agony on top of agony: I have the words of a Palestinian diplomat in my ears as Amnesty International releases its report concluding that the government of #Israel is committing genocide. "We are the victims of victims." amnestyusa.org/reports/you-fe…

Now is the moment for Syria and the international community to restart Syria’s stalled UN-led political process, with a clear timeline for political transition that leads to free elections, as outlined in UN Resolution 2254.

There is so much to be done. We are impatient for accountability & justice. So many people remain detained or disappeared. Almost every Syrian carries pain and trauma into this new moment. It is a moment that holds such promise. It is the chance to create a new beautiful Syria ❤️‍🩹

Thrilling to see and hear the joy of long-suffering #Syrian partners, allies and friends at the astonishing developments of a few days. #WithSyria
