In Gaza, Israel is the starver but pretends to be the feeder. It is still carrying out its genocide but at a slower pace. The latest Israeli restrictions on aid agencies is just part of that genocidal agenda. Here is my piece in Arab News www.arabnews.com/node/2628380

2025 is another year many in the Middle East will want to forget - but the prospects for 2026 are not bright either www.arabnews.com/node/2627130

Reporters Without Borders said on Tuesday that Israel was responsible for nearly half of all journalists killed this year worldwide, with 29 Palestinian reporters slain by its forces in Gaza ➡️ u.afp.com/S7fB

Israel has destroyed more than 1,500 buildings in areas of Gaza that have remained under its control since the ceasefire with Hamas started on 10 October www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Israeli Armored Corps commander says about the collapse of norms in Gaza that "If you want to shoot without restraint, you can," - as rather too many Palestinians in Gaza have found out - watch Breaking Ranks - Inside Israel's War on ITV www.itv.com/watch/breaki...

Acc to UNICEF Israel is denying the entry of essential items, including syringes to vaccinate children and bottles for baby formula, because they "are considered dual-use by Israel." Sadly the gencoide is not over - it has just slowed. www.haaretz.com/gaza/2025-11...

Low turnout expected in the Iraqi Parliamentary elections - disillusionment is widespread as voters do not believe it will change the existing political order. www.reuters.com/world/middle...

"Much of the international media and political classes do not want to highlight coverage that proves Israel is not the democratic, law-abiding, Western nation of the widespread myth" @chris-doyle.bsky.social www.arabnews.com/node/2622123...

In Israel, whistleblowers are criminals and rapists are heroes - the Sde Teiman affair and what it reveals about what too many Israeli politicians think of Palestinians. My piece in Arab News today www.arabnews.com/node/2622123

Sde Teiman - where the leak is the crime not the rape and abuse - includes my comments to Al Jazeera Egnlish's 'The Listening Post' about this horrific Israeli abuse of Palestinians www.caabu.org/news/video/s...

On Al Jazeera Ori Goldberg and I discuss the latest in Gaza including how regional powers have more influence over the Trump administration than ever before youtu.be/n9k4nbtF4HI

Who is shocked to discover that Israel is dumping waste and rubble from Israeli inside Gaza? Top reporting and investigation from @haaretzcom www.haaretz.com/gaza/2025-10...

I discussed the future of Gaza in two interviews on Al Jazeera English today incl about Palestinian agency, future of UNRWA and a stabilisation force www.caabu.org/news/video/c...

My interview today on TRT World about the fragile ceasefire in Gaza and Israel's disgraceful restrictions on lifesaving aid into Gaza youtu.be/VQ9YJzWDYas?...

Reflecting that this time last week, the world endured Trump's charade in the Knesset & Sharm El Sheikh - eternal peace, as if it was all sorted. Now Witkoff & Kushner are in Israel trying to rescue a ceasefire. www.middleeasteye.net/opinion/gaza...

My article in Middle East Eye - the hype over peace in Gaza is dangerous. It is a ceasefire, and the Trump-Netanyahu 20 points are not a proper plan. www.middleeasteye.net/opinion/gaza...

Nothing else is more important than this. Not your job, not your country, not your food, not your home. If we do not immediately tax (or sue) fossil fuel companies out of existence, nothing else will matter. We get this wrong, nothing can go right www.thetimes.com/uk/environme...

Why was he there?

Officially 67,000 Palestinians killed in Gaza since October 2023, probably many more. 83% were civilian acc to Israeli military's own data - so 75 civilians killed every day on average. Yet media & political comment focussed overwhelmingly on 20 living Israeli hostages, 28 dead.

Appalled by this attack on a place of worship. Members of the Muslim community must be free to worship and live without the fear of Islamophobic violence and intimidation. I stand shoulder to shoulder in solidarity with British Muslims and against this hate. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

The Trump comprehesive plan for Gaza is anything but. It is not comprehensive, but dangerously vague. It is not a plan - but a series of points. It is not for Gaza or Palestinians but for Netanyahu. 1/

My interview on TRT World about the UK recognition of Palestine - a boost to Palestinians but it will not stop the atrocities on the ground www.caabu.org/news/video/i...

Reposting my article for Middle East Eye in July, as it remains very much relevant today - Palestinian statehood is a right, not a diplomatic pawn www.middleeasteye.net/opinion/uk-s...

Next month @chris-doyle.bsky.social will join us as we consider the context and history of the conflict that envelops Palestine….. www.kwaku.org.uk/Speakers/202...

At least 1,760 Palestinians have been killed while seeking aid in Gaza since late May, according to UN data.

I discuss Israel's plans for Gaza on Al Jazeera English www.caabu.org/news/video/c...

Dear BBC @bbc, the story is about the killing of a Palestinian footballer, Suleiman Obeid in Gaza & FIFA's failure. Why make it about Mo Salah? He did not. (This is not a criticism of Salah at all) It should be a photo of Obeid here www.bbc.co.uk/sport/footba...

Palestinian statehood is a right, not a diplomatic pawn - my article on the UK statehood move - www.middleeasteye.net/opinion/uk-s...

Quick reaction from me on the British cabinet announcement on Palestine today - one wonders why it was recalled frankly youtu.be/OyLrJKhfY1g

My interview this morning on Trt World about Keir Starmer, recalling the cabinet and what he might do re: Gaza www.caabu.org/news/video/c...

I do hope that his home is not being blockaded, food, water and medicine denied, he and his family denied exit.

Israel is committing genocide in Gaza, say two major Israeli rights groups - https://www.middleeasteye.net/news/israel-committing-genocide-gaza-say-two-major-israeli-ngos

Two Israeli human rights groups have come out and said that Israel is comitting genocide in Gaza. Is there anyone credible left who does not thinkg this is the case? The evidence is overwhleming and terrfiying www.theguardian.com/world/2025/j...

Israeli air force chief who oversees Gaza strikes visits UK - Serious questions as to why this is happening given his direct involvement in genocide. www.middleeasteye.net/news/israeli...

The world is looking on in horror as Netanyahu's Government plots to lock Gaza's entire population into effectively a giant prison. The Prime Minister should make it clear that the UK won't stand idly by, starting by sanctioning Netanyahu himself.

For those who truly wish to understand the horror of the Israeli GHF death traps in Gaza this from Forensic Architecture is clear, factual and devastating frames.forensic-architecture.org/gaza/aid/isr...

Time to put principles above profit - my article in Arab News on corporate complicity in Israel's genocide and regime of apartheid www.arabnews.com/node/2608078

It's utterly unconscionable for the Israeli Defence Force simply to blame a "technical error" for killing Gazan children waiting for water. The UK Government must insist on accountability within the Israeli military and Government and an end to a culture of impunity. news.sky.com/story/idf-bl...

BCG earned more than $1mn for Gaza aid barge project - www.ft.com/content/172c...

The proposals from Israel's Defence Minister Israel Katz to contain all 2.1m Gazans in a new compound are illegal and utterly abhorrent. I have written today to David Lammy asking him again to sanction Minister Katz, and to set out the Government's legal view of Israel's occupation of Palestine.

Macron: "And today working together in order to recognise the state of Palestine.... is the only path to peace." Cue: Clapping from Starmer, Davey and others, but not Kemi Badenoch.

‘If this collapses, Syrians will be in civil strife.’   As David Lammy visits Damascus, Middle East expert @chris-doyle.bsky.social says Britain has faced a ‘hard balance’ while re-establishing ties with Syria. @matthew-wright.bsky.social
