My views on the ongoing negotiations between #Israel and #Hamas . The complexity is partly due to the fact that each side in engaging in multiple negotiations simultaneously.

When Bibi needs help he doesn’t hesitate to run to Uncle Joe for protection. But when Biden needs help the answer is either “no my coalition won’t let me” or “maybe” with so many conditions and loopholes that it turns out to be a “no.” axios.com/2024/04/29/net…

Honoured to have welcomed earlier today UK Parliamentarians Alun Cairns MP (Cons), Florence Eshalomi MP (Lab), Marsha de Cordova MP (Lab) and Chris Law MP (SNP). We exchanged views on the #GazaWar and some of the areas where the UK can play an effective role in ending the #Genocide_in_Gaza .

There are no 'extremist' and 'moderate' settlers, they all engage in ethnic cleansing supported by #Israel . Sanctions should target all #settler activities as well as their financial networks and their supporters in US and Europe. Leaders should be placed on a 'terrorists' list.

Always a pleasure to listen to Raffaella Lodice’s Raffaella Iodice insightful views based on her firsthand experience in #Afghanistan .

Excellent opening remarks by Dalia Grybauskaitė at Georgetown University in Qatar’s conference on Gender in Foreign Policy.

1/ This is one iteration of the only rational way out of the current catastrophe. a) International protection for Palestinians, under UN, for 3-5 years, until fully functional, independent state can be realized b) independent envoy appointed by UN leads the process and day-to-day

'I don't think the US can afford for this [Gaza] conflict to escalate.'

Political scientist Sultan Barakat says US President Joe Biden, who faces an election this year, can’t afford to allow a military escalation between Iran and Israel ⤵️

During the pogroms yesterday in Ramallah.

Israeli soldiers working hand in hand with settlers & guarding them as they set fire to Palestinian homes and cars.

The incident is from Deir Dibwan. The Israeli military is the one who provides protection for such attacks

This use of the passive voice is beyond shameful. (“Was killed”). The former advocate of “naming and shaming” is now too timid to name the perpetrator and shaming only herself and the president she serves.

Despite a GDP per capita higher than the #UK , #Japan or #Italy and a $9 billion arms export industry, #Israel receives $3.8 billion annually from the #USA in military assistance. US tax-payers must question the morality of funding the #occupation & #Ethnic_cleansing_of_Palestine

My response to #Iran 's attack on #Israel last night as the events were unfolding .. 'My money was on .. the attacks won't cause much harm'.
