Consistent with its historic commitment to a just and lasting peace in the Middle East, I have decided that France will recognize the State of Palestine. I will make this solemn announcement before the United Nations General Assembly this coming September.

Taylor Swift now owns her masters.

Gårsdagens vedtak om å hindre #UNRWA sitt arbeid i Palestina var trolig folkerettsstridig. Nå ber vi verdens høyeste domstol, @CIJ_ICJ, om å ta stilling til nettopp dette. Ingen stat kan heve seg over folkeretten ⚖️

The vote by the Israeli Parliament against @UNRWA is unprecedented. It opposes the @UN Charter and violates the State of Israel’s obligations under international law. Failing to push back against these bills will weaken our common multilateral mechanism. This should be a

Norway strongly rejects the legislation adopted by the Knesset today, which will make it impossible for #UNRWA to operate in #Palestine. Palestinian civilians who are suffering and living in extreme need will be pushed even closer to the brink.
