Aid as far as the eye can see: The UAE is sending a 4-deck ship with 7,000 tons of humanitarian aid to Gaza this Saturday. I spent today with crews in Abu Dhabi's port, unloading hundreds of trucks, and ambulances, learning about the logistics behind this effort. @alfaresalshahm3

I flew again today over Gaza's airspace with the UAE's Air Force to carry out a food airdrop. The scene was a heartbreaking mix of devastation, an active warzone, life, dead areas & movements. It was immensely emotional to see my native homeland in this state. We shall overcome🕊️

Day 2 of flying to Gaza with UAE aid & C-130. Airdrops aren't the solution to Gaza's hunger & food insecurity problems but are merely one of many steps to lessen the suffering. They also showcase the significance of pragmatic coordination w/Israel to use Gaza's airspace 🇵🇸🕊❤️🇦🇪

I flew into Gaza's airspace for the first time in 25 years, after my Palestinian Airlines 2000 flight into the Strip's int'l airport. Join me on this heartbreaking journey with the courageous & generous Emirati Air Force to see Gaza & their work for yourself 🇵🇸🇦🇪 @alfaresalshahm3

Joining the UAE Air Force on a massive humanitarian mission to carry out food airdrops over Gaza in the next few days - will share updates from the ground in Jordan and skies above Gaza. Grateful to all nations, and especially the Emirates, for feeding desperate Gazans 🙏✈️🇦🇪🕊

“Will the Real Palestinians, Please Stand Up?” In so many recent conversations with Ivy League universities, I have faced a repeated question over and over by university administrators and professors who ask me point-blank: “How do other Palestinians perceive you?” “Are you

Hamas's "analyst" went on the group's favorite channel, Al Jazeera Arabic, to declare that Israel's pending invasion of Gaza City will unleash the "mother of all battles" in which Israel will lose an unbelievably high number of soldiers, doubting if it can sustain a battle for

Hamas's Telegram channels are dubbing the group's large attack today on an Israeli military site in southern Gaza as a "new Oct 7", despite the failure to kill or capture a single soldier, which seems to have been the aim. This comes days after "agreeing" to a ceasefire proposal.

“Hamas is wonderful”: Francesca Albanese, a UN official who has become the ‘darling’ of the “pro-Palestine” community, is degrading herself, the UN, human rights, and all that is reasonable by promoting Hamas as a mere political entity, which is just “misunderstood.” This UN

Amidst the endless suffering experienced by displaced civilians in southern Gaza, a ray of hope has emerged in the form of a UAE-sponsored water pipeline that will serve up to 700,000 people, bringing fresh water from Egypt and demonstrating the power of pragmatic action. 🇦🇪🙏🚰

The Gaza Police Force: A multilateral approach to the Strip’s post-Hamas security architecture. As part of a transitional period in Gaza, whether that is after the complete cessation of the war and a ceasefire or even as some parts of the strip are engulfed in combat operations
