Rejecting backers of genocide and apartheid, Ireland bans far-right Israeli National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir and Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich from entering the country. https://t.co/NaEs1S5XT5

Mona is a legend. She spent her life protecting endangered sea turtles & their shoreline habitats. For years, she ran Orange House, a bed & breakfast that funded her turtle conservation project.

Israel knows who she is, where she is, & what she does. This bombing was a message.

Amnesty has an Urgent Action on behalf of Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya. Israel must release him now. Why oh why such cruelty? Why oh why those with the power to hold Israel authorities accountable for their cruelty failing over and over?

Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya should be with his loved ones, and caring for the many many people in need of his skills. The last place where he should be is solitary confinement.

One of the most horrifying scenes in human history has been revealed.

When Israel forced thousands in Gaza to collect flour mixed with sand due to severe famine.

A moment the world must never forget.

“Jesus told us to forgive our killers, but this is too much”

Heartbreaking moments from the funeral of Theodosia Karam, her brother Tony and their father James in Qlayaa, southern Lebanon. James was driving his children home from their exams when an Israeli drone killed them

"Why is Hasan Piker ‘not conducive to the public good’? Because on Gaza, we punish the witness, not the crime"

Israel has used American-supplied munitions to kill tens of thousands of innocent civilians.

America is morally obligated to end support of Israel’s devastation of Gaza and its people. I’m cosponsoring the Block the Bombs Act to limit the transfer of offensive weapons to Israel.

[Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen]

Yesterday, the IDF seized 4 students from their homes in the West Bank, including 20-year-old American, Sama Safi.

The Israeli govt didn’t tell her family or the U.S. Embassy where or why she was being taken & is holding her without charges.

America must secure her release NOW.

[Nicholas Kristof @NickKristof]

Trump, Musk and Rubio slashed aid and scoffed that it was woke nonsense. Now they're seeing that it not only saved one life every 10 seconds but also protected us from diseases like Ebola. Their actions constituted a security failure as well as a moral one.
More broadly, their fecklessness contrasts with the courage and humanity of doctors and aid workers in Congo and Uganda, lacking adequate PPE but still risking the virus to care for fellow humans.
Trump, Musk and Rubio might learn something from them. https://t.co/kPKj7fqJFZ

The Israeli army is targeting Gaza's remaining residential blocks that were left standing after the ceasefire, leaving even more Palestinians homeless. "Fear has become a permanent guest in our homes," one resident told Mondoweiss. https://t.co/Zw5QB4Jnwf

Diplomats at an emergency meeting of the U.N. Security Council were nearly unanimous — with the exception of the United States — in calling for Israel to withdraw its forces from Lebanon and refrain from launching more attacks. https://t.co/sEAdaSioPv

Looking forward to serving Member States with colleagues & partners to strengthen regional cooperation and advance human dignity, human security & inclusive development.

Let’s get to work!

There is a strategy behind Israel's confinement of Gaza's civilians in tent camps with inadequate food, medical supplies, and other necessities. Israel hopes their misery will facilitate their mass "voluntary" deportation. https://t.co/mQvtlKNvL4

Israel completely destroyed Hussein’s restaurant and resort in southern Lebanon. One of the most beautiful places in the south is now ashes

[Jonathan Cook @Jonathan_K_Cook]

Israeli journalist Gideon Levy:

"Now that [Gaza] has been destroyed almost completely, Israel is advancing confidently toward the next phase: making the entire population permanently disabled, injured, sick, hungry, homeless and unemployed."

It's the prelude, says Levy, to mass expulsion.

"No society can function without teachers, doctors, social workers, engineers and clerks. And without a functioning society, it's easy to expel Gaza's residents to the four corners of the earth."

This is the hospital myself and @AliRida_SB were taken to after our narrow escape from an I$raeli missile strike. It had already been badly damaged and now it’s been targeted again. Inshallah the brave medical staff there are ok 🙏

[Ben Rhodes @brhodes]

Why is it controversial for Zohran to skip a parade bc of his principles but not for Democratic politicians to march with a fascist bigot like Smotrich?
