@HalaJaber So utterly tragic and as ever, zero accountability !

[NicholasClaxton @ClaxtonNicholas]

@ElonMusk2KG Yes!

@EdKrassen Pam Bondi’s behaviour at these hearings on Wednesday was deplorable and nothing short of being utterly contemptuous towards all the victims. Very, very hard to accept that she was never made to answer the questions put to her. She is not above the law!

Nowhere in this ceasefire agreement is it demanded that Israel be disarmed, or its nuclear program stopped despite proving it is a rogue regime not only capable of, but eager to commit genocide.

That is to say it’s so absurd that this ceasefire agreement is focused on disarming Hamas in Gaza when it is Israel that has a fascist military & armed civilian militia groups committing crimes against humanity & genocide.

The photo says it all. Kushner and Witkoff need to insist on Israel including Marwan Barghouti as integral to the prisoner exchange. In the interests of a meaningful and lasting peace plan, he is the only one who can steer it. Netanyahu’s refusal to include him has to be rejected outright.

Netanyahu will of course now accuse the DEC of spreading lies and propaganda. If it’s a lie Netanyahu, then why don’t you allow the world’s media to witness first hand what’s really going on in Gaza? Get real !

Famine has been confirmed in Gaza for the first time.

The global hunger monitor, the IPC, announced that famine is now taking place across Gaza City and the surrounding areas. They are warning it is set to spread further by the end of September unless food supplies are urgently increased.

DEC charities and their trusted local partners are doing everything they can in these unimaginably dire conditions to reach people with support. With extremely limited amounts of aid allowed into Gaza, they have been unable to carry out much of their lifesaving work.

Donations to the Middle East Humanitarian Appeal are helping them to adapt their programmes every day to provide people with whatever food, clean water and medical care they can.

Increased and sustained access for food and other aid supplies to enter Gaza has never been more urgent.

Sebastian Gorka goes to Gaza ? - Come on Gorka, don’t be afraid. I challenge you to go to Gaza now for 24 hours and then have the nerve to tell the world that starvation and famine is “fake news”. Your narrative is sick and beyond shameful.

[NicholasClaxton @ClaxtonNicholas]

Hear Sebastian Gorka, Deputy Asst to President Trump on BBC Radio 4 World at One being interviewed by Sarah Montague. Gorka describes the story about famine facing Gaza is “fake news”. What planet does he live on ? Rarely does one hear such ignorance but if that is excusable, given his manifest contempt for the facts and for journalists, his arrogance supersedes this by his appalling dismissal of Sarah Montague’s interview. She has my total praise for staying calm under fire and from a man who deserves no airtime whatsoever.

@DrHananAshrawi God Forbid !

[Hanan Ashrawi @DrHananAshrawi]

Genocide out loud.

[NicholasClaxton @ClaxtonNicholas]

Is the US pressing Israel hard for the release of Fatah leader, Marwan Barghouti along with all the remaining Israeli hostages in Gaza ? Why wouldn’t they ? This would be a game-changer for the whole Middle East peace process and the Two State solution if they do. Hmm!

[NicholasClaxton @ClaxtonNicholas]

@simonwwriter What a day you have ahead Simon. #MichaelKorda’s seminal work on TE Lawrence called HERO has pride of place on my bookshelf. Enjoy your weekend. Mine is st Longchamps for the Prix de L’Arc de Triomphe.

@nazirafzal I agree. This is a senseless and frankly an obscene waste of money. As for Boris Johnson accepting to go as a paid guest, it says so much about the real him. Equally depressing.

[NicholasClaxton @ClaxtonNicholas]

Undeniable.

Israeli soldiers raising Israeli flag in Rafah, south of Gaza.

This is all you need for a visual understanding it’s not about hostages, it’s about annexation.

@AlecuRussell @nickswicks @FT Superb piece and an excellent anslysis on the political state of play in SA. Having interviewed him myself several years ago, Zuma is still a master tactician.

[NicholasClaxton @ClaxtonNicholas]

Very sad to hear the news of John Pilger’s death. The world has lost a strong and authoritative editorial voice. His campaigning journalism was tireless. Having worked with him on Cambodia Year Zero and producing two other Documentaries with him for ITV, he was a consummate professional and I shall miss his calling power to account. RIP John
