Useful clarification by @USUN: the US will not expend resources engaging on 3rd Committee resolutions that do not sufficiently align with the UN’s original scope and purpose or veer unnecessarily into politicized debates.

The @WSJ is correct: "The Hague has no business exercising jurisdiction over U.S. leaders or troops... The way to change this is to sanction the institution as a whole." https://t.co/gbuVliaCDx

Unless the ICC faces more serious consequences, it could target Trump after 2028.

We regret that OCHA chooses time and again, to repeat false narratives. There is a clear gap between it's public statements and what OCHA's own people sitting with us daily at the CMCC know. Here are the facts: 📍600–800 aid trucks enter Gaza every day, around 70% carrying

WSJ: Docs from 2018 to 2022 detail how Hamas manipulates int'l human-rights and aid groups to serve its ends. Pressure from Qatar, Turkey and Egypt to cooperate with Hamas and re-establish the same NGO system. "This would be nation-building—for Hamas."

Hamas was the puppeteer, NGO and the UN were the puppets: To operate in Gaza, Hamas required that its loyalists hold senior administrative positions in aid groups. The arrangement ensured Hamas had access to the highest levels of NGO operations.
