🆕🇪🇺 The EU must amend and activate the Blocking Statute to shield Palestinian NGOs and others from US sanctions. If it truly stands for the rule of law, the EU cannot let these draconian measures obstruct the pursuit of justice for Israel’s crimes at the ICC. Our statement: mezan.org/en/post/46772

🚨 REACTION: Al Mezan hopes @theipcinfo.bsky.social’s formal famine declaration in the Gaza Governorate will be a turning point. The international community has no excuse left. Urgent, effective action is needed. Empty statements won’t feed the hungry. Full statement ⤵️⤵️ mezan.org/en/post/46754

Unequivocal op-ed co-authored by our director on the failure of @kajakallas.bsky.social’s Gaza 'deal': "Presented as a great diplomatic breakthrough [...] this so-called 'deal' has proven to be little more than a symbolic gesture and a way for Israel to buy more time, when there is no time left."

"Hemos ido a buscar comida muchas veces y no queda nada de nada en el mercado: es parte de la política genocida de Israel, ante el silencio del mundo. Hace tres días que no comemos nada de nada: no hay ni harina, ni comida enlatada ni verduras. No queda nada." es.ara.cat/internaciona...

“We have gone looking for food many times and there is nothing left at the market: it is part of Israel's genocidal policy, in the face of the world's silence. We have not eaten anything for three days. [...] There is nothing left," reports our Deputy Director from Gaza. en.ara.cat/internationa...

We are appalled by empty statements that lack corresponding action. If Western states were truly committed to ending Israel’s war on Gaza or ensuring the delivery of humanitarian aid to starving Palestinians, they would impose sanctions on Israel & members of its cabinet & implement an arms embargo.

🚨 Israel is using starvation and dehydration as tools of genocide in Gaza. After new displacement orders on July 20, Gaza’s largest desalination plant is at risk of shutting down. Mass death by thirst and hunger is imminent. Read more: mezan.org/en/post/46743

🚨 #Gaza: Two legal submissions by TRIAL International request Swiss authorities to monitor the activities of the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation. 👇 trialinternational.org/latest-post/...

Hunger and starvation in Gaza are worsening under the devastating impact of the Israeli blockade. Over 300 civil society organizations worldwide demand that governments launch a diplomatic humanitarian convoy to Gaza. @almezan.bsky.social #alhaq_org www.escr-net.org/news/2025/un...

At last, a majority of EU Member States demanded to review Israel’s compliance with Article 2 of the EU-Israel Association Agreement. Decades of documented human rights violations render non-compliance undeniable. The review must proceed immediately. 2+ million lives in Gaza are at stake.

On 7 May, we warned Israel was planning to escalate the genocide in Gaza with the stated aim to seize the territory & forcibly expel Palestinians. This is no longer a threat. The plan is being carried out. The tools to stop it exist: sanctions & arms embargo. mezan.org/en/post/46713

Amid a lack of accountability and near-total isolation, Palestinian detainees held in Al-Naqab Prison face inhumane conditions—held in tents, starved, denied medical care, and subjected to degrading treatment & torture by the Israeli authorities. 🔗 mezan.org/en/post/46694

🚨 Tomorrow, Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu—wanted by the International Criminal Court for war crimes and crimes against humanity—is set to visit Hungary. This planned visit is an affront to international law. As a Rome Statute signatory, Hungary must arrest him. mezan.org/en/post/46673

🚨 Today, the Beer Sheva District Court reviewed and extended Dr. Abu Safiya's detention for another 6 months. This ruling underscores the role of Israeli civilian courts in sustaining the illegal occupation of the OPT & reinforcing Israel’s apartheid regime. mezan.org/en/post/46667

🚨 Latest UN Commission of Inquiry report finds that Israeli authorities have destroyed in part the reproductive capacity of Palestinians in Gaza, including by imposing measures intended to prevent births, which is a genocidal act under the Rome Statute and the Genocide Convention.

During our participation at #HRC58, Al Mezan repeatedly called out the international community for its blatant failure to prevent and stop Israel’s ongoing genocide against the Palestinian people in Gaza. Learn more about our engagement with the UN Human Rights Council: mezan.org/en/post/46661

Further evidence that the genocide in Gaza is still ongoing: Israel's deliberate suspension of humanitarian aid to Gaza is a genocidal act that violates the ICJ provisional measures and a prosecution of the war crime of starvation, for which the ICC has issued arrest warrants.

Israel is using an apartheid law designed to detain Gaza residents without charge and no meaningful judicial review or due process rights to hold Dr. Abu Safiya and hundreds of other Palestinians. We again call for their immediate and unconditional release. mezan.org/en/post/46652

🚨 UPDATE ON DR. ABU SAFIYA Our lawyer has been informed that the Commander of the Southern Command of the Israeli army has issued an order to detain Dr. Abu Safiya under the Unlawful Combatants Law. 1/4

Yesterday, our lawyer visited Dr. Abu Safiya in Ofer Prison. He detailed the torture and severe abuses he has endured since his unlawful arrest and arbitrary detention by Israeli forces and authorities. We demand his immediate and unconditional release. #FreeDrAbuSafiya mezan.org/en/post/46651/

We firmly condemn France, Italy, & Greece for failing to uphold their legal obligations under the Rome Statute by allowing Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu to cross their airspace twice—on 2 and 9 Feb—without executing the arrest warrant issued against him by the ICC. mezan.org/public/en/po...

🚨 UPDATE ON DR. ABU SAFIYA After more than 40 days of arbitrary detention without access to legal counsel, Israeli authorities lifted the ban on Dr. Abu Safiya meeting his lawyers. We have formally requested immediate access for our lawyers to visit him & assess his conditions. #Gaza #Palestine
