Trump draws widespread condemnation for expanding travel ban, fully barring Palestinians - https://www.middleeasteye.net/trending/trump-draws-widespread-condemnation-after-expanding-travel-ban-fully-barring-palestinians

President Trump hailed the UN’s adoption of his Gaza plan as a victory for peace. But the choice that moves like this force countries into – between human rights and humanitarian aid – makes everyone less safe, writes @zaha-hassan.bsky.social. Zaha explains: carnegieendowment.org/research/202...

For those who support international legality and human rights, UNSC 2803 that endorsed the Trump Gaza Plan is a gut punch. It is the first time the Security Council was used in an attempt to make what is prohibited under law legal. Read here: carnegieendowment.org/research/202...

Human rights lawyer @zaha-hassan.bsky.social and @drshushan.bsky.social, former Director of Policy at J Street, debate whether using the term “genocide” risks alienating members of the Jewish community and undermining solidarity with Palestinians. WATCH: zeteo.com/p/republican...

@drshushan.bsky.social: “You open up the conversation with the word ‘genocide’… and it’s over.” @zaha-hassan.bsky.social: “Labeling something correctly is very important.”

“Mr. President, we’ve got to feed those people.” Thank you Sen. Peter Welch @welch.senate.gov‬ for demanding the Trump administration end the Israeli blockade that threatens to starve 14,000 children to death.

With Pres. Trump in the Middle East for the first major international visit of his second term, questions and controversy swirl around what will come of the trip. @andrewleber.bsky.social, @zaha-hassan.bsky.social, & Amr Hamzawy answer the pressing questions: carnegieendowment.org/emissary/202...

“How Palestinians would know they were crossing an invisible line was not made clear to them, the soldiers said. ‘How they know is a really good question. Enough people died or got injured crossing that line, so they don’t go near it.’”

From advocating for the “resettlement” of Palestinians from Gaza to negotiating directly with Hamas, the Trump administration has upended U.S. policy in the region, says @zaha-hassan.bsky.social. Zaha’s conversation with @sophiabesch.bsky.social: www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZoP3...

With #Palestinians facing renewed #Israeli bombardment in #Gaza and 250k under evacuation orders to move south again, the plans for Gaza's so- called 'day after' seem like a cruel mirage. I discuss with my colleage @sophiabesch.bsky.social @carnegieendowment.org

What does the Israel-Hamas ceasefire mean for Palestinians & relief efforts? @zaha-hassan.bsky.social writes that while the three-phase deal is extremely fragile, it does offer some reasons for hope ⏬

The good news is Fattouh is head of PLO Palestinian National Council which is the highest legislative body for Palestinians everywhere. Reasserting PLO authority over PA is critical.
