As a European Commissioner with the aim of contributing as much as possible to Europe’s economic development. The International Partnerships portfolio will allow me to focus on strengthening the EU's economic security, diversifying our suppliers of critical raw materials, and opening new markets for European companies.
My goal was to secure a strong economic portfolio for the Czech Republic, and given that International Partnerships holds a significant budget and one of the largest Directorates-General within the European Commission, I am confident that I will be able to ensure its substantial impact within the future EC.
My conversation yesterday with President @vonderleyen further reinforced this. She emphasized that the Global Gateway initiative is seen as one of the key tools for enhancing economic security and developing Europe’s economic relations with international partners.
Excited to be sharing my recent piece on the discursive anti-apartheid resistance published by En-gender Interdisciplinary Journal.

“When you lay out what is happening in clear language, it is indefensible. So political language dresses all those dead and starving children up in euphemism. It obscures ethnic cleansing with vagaries.”
Excellent read by Arwa Mahdawi https://t.co/jD6GXFLQgO
Muslims are messaging each other with advice on how to stay safe and areas to avoid because of the far-right.
And some folk are moaning about whether we should term thugs with swastikas tattooed on their backs who are attacking mosques, as far-right? Yeah, you're the problem.
Al Jazeera refutes fabricated Israeli accusations against its journalist Ismail Al Ghoul and calls for an independent international investigation into the brutal and heinous crimes committed by the Israeli occupation forces against its journalists and staff.

🚨ICJ ruling today - for the UK @DavidLammy@Keir_Starmer
Israel's occupation is unlawful and States have been forbidden from supporting the occupation.
2 key matters for UK government policy decisions immediately:
1. The UK's position on the ICC and jurisdiction is over. The Court ruled that a treaty does not trump international law. That means the UK's position on the ICC not having jurisdiction over Israeli action in Gaza is the weakest it could possibly be. Time for the UK to withdraw its recent submission.
2. Self determination cannot be subject to conditions by the occupier. This means @Keir_Starmer and Labour's position of stalling in recognising Palestine is unlawful. The court ruled that Gaza, West Bank and East Jerusalem is a single sovereign unit. The UK government must recognise Palestine immediately.
Why are my academic colleagues silent on genocide?
Is @TheLancet not credible enough to take our deaths seriously? Is your potential grant funding more important than our lives? Afraid of anonymous peer-review?
186,000 dead not enough?
We are outraged and strongly condemn the killing of our colleague, Fadi Al-Wadiya, in an attack this morning in Gaza City.
The attack killed Fadi, along with 5 other people including 3 children, while he was cycling to work, near the MSF clinic where he was providing care.
Western press this is to you. I’m at a loss for words at how vile the coverage of Israel’s assault on Gaza has been. As people are being starved, denied water, medicine- when the PM has an arrest warrant out for him for WAR CRIMES - Israel is being investigated for plausible genocide - why do your stories not reflect this profound power imbalance? Where is your accountability of Israeli leadership? Why are they still permitted to spout propaganda unchallenged on our air! This is fascism and you are facilitating it. WAKE UP‼️
Excellent resource for anyone interested in learning more about 🇵🇸
Very nice presentation of a brilliant and really important book by @4noura

For months, we’ve heard Western officials justify the slaughter of Palestinian civilians by saying Hamas uses “human shields.”
But when Israeli forces strap a Palestinian on the hood of their vehicle, Western media fails to mention a literal human shield.
"OHCHR strongly indicates that the IDF have systematically failed to comply with the following fundamental principles of international humanitarian law... since 7 Oct: the principle of distinction, the prohibition of indiscriminate attacks,.. proportionality & .. precautions."
