"Our partnership continues to adapt to new times. We now find ourselves at the forefront of a global transformation - the search for a way of living that is at once prosperous, humane and sustainable. Here, as elsewhere, Britain and Germany stand shoulder to shoulder – guided not only by technology and science, but by conscience."

During last night’s State Banquet at Windsor Castle, The King spoke of the deep friendship between the United Kingdom and Germany and of their continued belief in democracy, freedom and the rule of law.

🔹 Ms. @GhidaAnani, @AbaadMENA, spotlighted the rise in gender based violence (#GBV) during crises, stressing the need for coordinated efforts: safe spaces, emergency shelters, legislative reforms, and better funding to support over 330K women lacking essential services.

🔹Ms. @GeorgetteAoude, @CCCLebanon, highlighted the emergency plan launched to support displaced patients, secure 3 months of medications, and drive awareness & contributions through engagement with key partners, influencers, and social media campaigns.

🔹 Ms. Janine El Meouchy, @TeachForLebanon, stressed the need for disaster preparedness, resilient infrastructure, and trauma-informed teacher training. With 500K displaced children, education strategies must integrate immediate response with long-term reform.

Of the 39 Palestinians released yesterday 28 had never been charged; 15 were children.

In any sane analysis all were the victims of State kidnapping.

Incredible that this piece of journalism appeared on CNN.

It should be shared.

[Jake Shields @jakeshieldsajj]

You can see from the body language that the prisoners were treated with respect and dignity

This is interesting because the IDF is infamous for beating, raping, and torturing their prisoners

It seems they are always doing what they accuse their enemies of

What protects me from #Israel a disregarded border?
Do you know what it feels like to lose sleep?
Where your eyes close but your heart jumps at every sound,
Where you mistake the faint sound of cars for missiles,
I do.
We do.
Arabs do.
Just #CeaseFireInGaza ENOUGH!

[Lea Zeinoun @leazeinoun]

From awareness to access and emergency response. @embrace_lebanon alongside local actors in the field of mental health aim to offer community members with their right to health in all its aspects not forgetting the right to mental health.

Here’s to women in diplomacy the ultimate dream.

[United Nations @UN]

Women have played a critical role in diplomacy for centuries, yet their contributions have often been overlooked.

On Saturday’s #WomenInDiplomacy Day, and every day, let’s recognize & celebrate how women are breaking barriers & making a difference.

Honestly one of the most developmental event in my career @TheAdvocacyTeam was amazing connecting @embrace_lebanon to so many diverse stakeholders. We’re not done London ✌🏼

[Embrace @embrace_lebanon]

Embrace, in collaboration with @TheAdvocacyTeam, held its first roundtable discussion on #MentalHealth in #Lebanon in #London, discussing the challenges & gaps in addressing Lebanons ’silent epidemic’ the country is facing amidst its ongoing socio-economic & political impasse.

[Lea Zeinoun @leazeinoun]

@embrace_lebanon attending the 7th #Brussels Conference as part of the #Lebanese local CSOs delegation. Representation, democracy, public wellbeing& self constitution are the priorities from local discussions but will they be priorities at the ministerial meeting tomorrow?

[United Nations @UN]

The difference between 1.5°C & 3°C global warming means vastly different scenarios for the future.

Our survival on this planet hinges on these few degrees. Addressing the climate crisis & limiting temperature rise is possible, if we #ActNow. https://t.co/X0Shwfcd3n via @UNFCCC

[United Nations @UN]

The ocean is the greatest ally in our efforts to address the climate crisis, generating 50% of the oxygen we need & absorbing 25% of all carbon dioxide emissions.

Thursday's #WorldOceansDay is a reminder of the urgency to #SaveOurOcean. https://t.co/wmZGFf0mPc

[Mia Atoui @MiaAtoui]

Our first policy brief @embrace_lebanon in partnership with @ifi_aub is now out.
It is only through these kinds of multi-stakeholder collaborations that we can hope to make nation-wide change.

#Suicide is a critical public health problem and in #Lebanon has garnered increased media attention in recent years. #Media plays a pivotal role in #suicideprevention if we are all collaborating right, and can be a lifeline that saves hundreds of lives.

[Michel Moawad @michelmoawad]

ما حصل على شاطئ #صيدا من اعتداء على الشابة ميسا حنوني وطردها من شاطئ عام بذريعة أنّ وجودها بلباس البحر "يتنافى مع قيم المدينة" أمر مستنكر إذ يشكل تعديا صارخا على الحريات المصانة في الدستور، كما ويتناقض مع تاريخ المدينة وقيمها الحقيقية.
احترام الحرية الشخصية لجميع اللبنانيين ضمن القانون هو اهم ميزة للبنان ويجب أن نحافظ عليها.
أطالب السلطات المحلية والقوى الأمنية باتخاذ اجراءات صارمة لمنع تكرار هذه الممارسات، وتسليم المعتدين الى القضاء المختصّ.

[Mia Atoui @MiaAtoui]

An endorsement of this kind from the Ministry of Information in #Lebanon and in collaboration with the Ministry of Public Health and local and international organizations is the kind of multi-stakeholder collaboration we need more of in order to address critical public health issues such as #suicide in the #media which can play one of the most pivotal roles in #suicideprevention. Thank you @ZiadMakary for pushing forward this agenda.

[Lea Zeinoun @leazeinoun]

Advocacy efforts are important alongside prevention and treatment. @embrace_lebanon along with partners took part in a press conference on the safe reporting of suicide in the media. Let’s steer the conversation from darkness (slides in red) into the light (slides in white).
