The situation in the West Bank is “terrible”.

Our Israel-Palestine Project Director, Max Rodenbeck presented a stark briefing to the UN Security Council on what's happening there, and why the world must pay attention. 🧵 https://t.co/l9PyuGvUnP

In a meeting in Damascus Syrian President Ahmed Al-Sharaa says we can’t rule out possibility of reaching a de-escalation agreement with Israel in coming weeks. Plenty of potential obstacles, but also progress. Damascus is serious about this.

Great to see that the Security Council protected UNMISS climate security language in new mandate (S/RES/2779).

@CrisisGroup argued last month that UN peacekeepers need to continue dealing with climate shocks in order to help bring more stability to SS.
