With other representatives, we denounce #antiMuslimHatred in our societies & all forms of hatred, racism & discrimination, building on the statement of 7 November of our peers dealing with the fight against antisemitism. Hatred is against our values. europa.eu/!vPyVPp

Clear EU statement on the obligation of Israel to abide by IHL &the laws of war in #Gaza. It deplores the rise of ‘violeance’ against Palestinians in the West Bank. It reiterates the need for the resumption of humanitarian pauses, while working in parallel on a political solution

الجعجعة قد تستميل البعض، لكنها إما فارغة أو ذات عواقب غير مرغوبة

Israeli settlers demolished a school in Zamuta, a village in the Occupied #Palestinian Territory. The school was built by EU funds - because every child, everywhere has a right to education. This destruction is intolerable and a violation of International Humanitarian Law.#IHL

It’s not bad enough that the Deputy DG of Public Diplomacy at Israel’s MFA writes this horrendous tweet, but the Ministry’s official account likes it too! ‘Diplomacy’ at its worst! .

It is good the quiet part is being spoken out loud. Israel's allies in DC, London and Europe need to take all this into account: we have a far-right government in Israel that rejects any scenario other than Palestinians being ethnically cleansed, or being subjected to apartheid.

History, recent & distant, has proved more than once that Israel’s expansionist policy never provided the security guarantees it sought. It did not work when it occupied Sinai in 1967 & it will not work by denying Palestinians their right to self-determination & sovereignty

.Josep Borrell Fontelles: Disinformation weakens the social fabric & poisons democracies, which cannot live without reliable information & trust in democratic processes, such as elections. That is why the first thing dictatorships do is to install censure & block information.

I swear I just learned of a new humanitarian program in Gaza to aid “unaccompanied orphaned children caring for toddler siblings”. Think about that.

EU foreign policy chief Josep Borrell Fontelles said the bloc’s funding to UNRWA hasn’t been suspended. “It’s vital that #UNRWA continues to be funded & to operate” Israel’s MFA republished the below without 🇪🇺& kept the wording that implies supporters of UNRWA fund “rapists & murderers”

.Josep Borrell Fontelles is a voice of reason in the EU. “Defunding UNRWA would be both disproportionate and dangerous. The agency is an irreplaceable provider of lifesaving aid to the Palestinians” #FundUNRWA

"Emphasizing the violence of Hamas’ attacks helped Israel tell a one-dimensional story of a multi-dimensional conflict—one that left out its decades of occupation, blockade of Gaza, and systematic violence against the Palestinians." foreignpolicy.com/2024/03/11/isr…

The World Press Photo of the Year is ‘A Palestinian Woman Embraces the Body of Her Niece’ by mohammed jad salem, Reuters. The jury was deeply moved by how this image evokes an emotional reflection in every viewer and offers a glimpse into unimaginable loss. worldpressphoto.org/collection/pho…

The CIJ_ICJ Advisory Opinion on the Occupied Palestinian Territory is largely consistent with EU positions. In a world of increasing violations of international law, it is our moral duty to reaffirm our unwavering commitment to all ICJ decisions. 1/2 europa.eu/!tn3rTj

“to halt this nonsense” - interesting language from the EU foreign policy chief on outlawing UNRWA in Israel

Brilliant!

Good that the EU is creating a new portfolio focusing on the Mediterranean region in the 2024 - 2029 College of Commissioners!

Perhaps the most underreported thing in #Gaza

العربية لغة رسمية في منظمات إقليمية، مثل Union for the Mediterranean ودولية، مثل الأمم المتحدة. هي كنز في ذاتها، وأيضا كرابط بين دول وشعوب. واقعها اليوم متردي لأسباب وعوامل مركبة، لكنها مرحلية. في #اليوم_العالمي_للغة_العربية استذكر بفخر إسهامات الراحلين د. نفوسة زكريا سعيد ود. محمد مصطفى هدارة

In Gaza, people document their final moments on phone cameras, hoping someone will find the footage and reveal the truth. The question remains: will the international community ever hold the perpetrators accountable? nytimes.com/2025/04/04/wor…
