In 2015 I met this Palestinian farmer, Abdel-Majeed, on the West Bank. Israeli settlers were attacking him and stealing his land, and I thought the situation was about as bad as it could get.
No, it has gotten much worse. I revisited him last week, during a week-long trip through Israel and the West Bank, and I found that settlers have burned his cars and destroyed his tractor. They have cut down his olive trees and set his sheep shed on fire. They tried to break into his house when his granddaughter was home. Now his wife is arguing that they should give up their home, for fear of being burned alive by settlers.
This is life on the West Bank today. It doesn't get as much attention as Gaza, but the situation is desperate. And the US is largely AWOL. I know it feels a long way away, but this is central to the Middle East crisis and is one reason I fear the crisis will get worse. Here's my report: https://t.co/3sQ0KsASPT
I am posting this video again. All the lies Israel had spread . The world believed the lies about decapitated babies but turning a blind eye away from the actual footage of decapitated babies from Rafah . Share this video again and again . Remind them with the lies that allowed this to happen
At the GA, condemning attempts to dismantle UNRWA using unfounded allegations, and calling upon donor countries which hastily suspended their contributions to reverse their decisions to avoid the collapse of the agency and the unprecedented humanitarian tragedy that will follow
On behalf of Arab Group @ the Sp Cttee on the Charter,We remain committed to a world where the Charter is upheld indeed not just by words, by all and everywhere without distinction. UN credibility is undermined by the continued violation by Israel of core principles of #UNCharter
It has taken the Palestinian people decades of painful struggle to stand before you today. For decades, the Palestinian people have been denied the right to self-determination and have endured both colonialism and apartheid.
For over a century, the inalienable right of the Palestinian people to self-determination has been denied and violated. Palestine was not a land without a people.
There was life on this land… was disrupted by the impact of a promise made thousands of miles away, over a hundred years ago.

Preparing for the Summit of the Future, need 2 recognize the world has gone worse since 2020 Summit. Doing business as usual won’t reverse the trend, have 2 do more, better and differently, focus on pressing priorities, eradicating poverty on top, and on means of implementation…
The woman shot dead by an Israeli sniper while holding the hand of a child and trying to get to safety has now a name and a face and a story.
Hala Rashid Abd al-Ati was shot and killed while leaving Gaza City, as her 5-years old grandson, Taim, who had his arms interlocked with her, was waving a white flag
