As I just replied to Phil, everything he’s describing had already started/happened and escalated under Biden, and Kamala said she would not change his policy (in any significant way). This didn’t start in March. This started a few days after October 2023. Criticism from former.
Even if this leads to meaningful change--still obviously TBD--the Israeli government's decision in March to break the ceasefire, blockade Gaza, and escalate militarily will prove to have been catastrophic. It made no real difference against Hamas, led to immeasurable additional.

The BBC leadership has completely and utterly lost the plot. Questioning a child about his parents’ political affiliation before interviewing him as he lives through forced starvation?. Has this ever happened before? Is any other child subject to this “test” other than a.
“It’s our policy to ask, do you or your parents have affiliation to Hamas?”. That’s the question the @BBCWorld producers asked for a 17-year -old child from Gaza before inviting him for an interview. Imagine asking a starving child living a genocide this. I am wondering,

Don’t let those who supported, funded and enabled this genocide in Gaza to now hide behind their newfound “courage” in “speaking out.”. International organisations have been warning of a life hunger, and then famine, for over a year. Where were you then?. We won’t forget.
Last week you proudly posed with Netanyahu, the war criminal responsible for Israel’s policy of starvation and slaughter.

I just finished recording a fascinating, two-hour conversation with @OAjjoub on Syria, starting from Assad family rule and the rise and transformation of Ahmed al Sharaa, to the fall of the Assad regime in Dec 2024, to the recent events in Sweida and what comes next. I also asked

A fear of being labelled antisemitic still deters American Jews and Jewish institutions from taking a position that is morally correct.

Very interesting timing from Macron on France recognising the State of Palestine. This announcement does three things: . 1-Gives the July 28 Saudi-French conference on the 2SS legs, show it’s not a joke, . 2-Encourages others to get on board during UNGA in September, and.
Fidèle à son engagement historique pour une paix juste et durable au Proche-Orient, j’ai décidé que la France reconnaîtra l’État de Palestine. J’en ferai l’annonce solennelle à l’Assemblée générale des Nations unies, au mois de septembre prochain.

As policymakers in the U.S. and Europe continue to avoid tangible action to stop the killings and mass forced starvation in #Gaza, here is what trauma surgeon @McmonagleMorgan, who served in Gaza, told me he has to say to them: . @vonderleyen @kajakallas @DavidLammy @SecRubio

Children in Gaza are literally dying of starvation and complications from malnutrition and the EU’s stance is “if” Israel doesn’t stop, “then” we will look at options. How many more children will starve to death while you continue to avoid action, @kajakallas?.
The killing of civilians seeking aid in Gaza is indefensible. I spoke again with @gideonsaar to recall our understanding on aid flow and made clear that IDF must stop killing people at distribution points. All options remain on the table if Israel doesn’t deliver on its pledges.
