Now LIVE: the European Parliament’s Foreign Affairs Committee is holding a debate on illegal Israeli settlements in the West Bank multimedia.europarl.europa.eu/en/webstream... #Palestine #Israel #international_law

Italy’s Nova news agency confirmed it let reporter Gabriele Nunziati go for asking a European official about Israel at a press conference.

Magnifique tribune du rabin @AckermannEmile à lire dans @liberation.fr www.liberation.fr/idees-et-deb...

Many in Europe speak of the Palestinian Authority’s "reform agenda" yet oversee the structural problems - Israel’s occupation of the Palestinian Territories - its repeated withholding of tax revenues from the PA @Palestine_UN My interview in @Parlimag www.theparliamentmagazine.eu/news/article...

Why Trump’s Knesset speech was delusional and dangerous. And i’m writing this while being so relieved for the freed Israeli and Palestinian hostages. #Gaza #Israel #Palestine

Israel’s veterans organization found the right words: “From here, the political negotiations must not stop. Not until the siege, the apartheid and the occupation are ended.” #breakingthesilence @shovrimshtika

I am so relieved for the hostages today But remember: if we want to respect the victims of October 7 and say 'never again' once and for all, we must learn our lessons and confront Netanyahu's destructive legacy End Israel’s occupation = end the violence euobserver.com/eu-and-the-w...

Why #October7 is our collective failure : my piece in the @euobserver.com #Europe #Israel #Gaza #Palestine euobserver.com/eu-and-the-w...

La filiale allemande du groupe Havas (contrôlé par Bolloré) a reçu près d'un million de dollars d'une firme israélienne proche du régime Netanyahu pour diffuser de la propagande en soutien au génocide.

Should Germany unconditionally support Israel, given its #Staatsraison doctrine? Our paper, written by German and international Middle East experts, argue it is time for a reset based on its legal and moral obligations #beyondStaatsraison #jenseitsDerStaatsraison

5 reasons why Trump’s 20 point plan is a bad joke, and why Europe shouldn’t be fooled again. #Gaza #Palestine #Israel #Netanyahu

Finally the European Parliament adopts a #Gaza resolution (1st since 4/24) But conservatives @eppgroup.bsky.social sitting here on right side are TOTALLY split betwn supporting (green) opposing (red) abstaining (white) So much fear from words like "statehood", not even man-made famine or genocide!

My reaction in @APNews "I am surprised by von der Leyen’s comments : she has been so deaf to the situation in Gaza, the rising concerns echoed by EU staffers and member states (…)" —> Suspend the trade chapter, NOW #SOTEU #Palestine #Israel apnews.com/article/von-...

Israel’s allies will try to focus the debate on EU subsidies -worth only €32 M Why? Because EU impact lies in suspending its trade chapter on preferential market access: it would mean taxes + quotas on 30% of isr exports —> hitting economic competitiveness, revenues, salaries + indirect inflation

Israel’s top allies are slowly but surely turning their backs, urging sanctions, suspending trade deals, freezing bilateral cooperation. It only took a genocide, 230 journalists and 18 000 kids killed in Gaza to apply EU treaties. Now up to Germany to support or to continue blocking the #EUCouncil

"Ensemble, nous dénonçons avec la plus grande fermeté ces meurtres et ces assassinats de journalistes par l’armée israélienne dans la bande de Gaza.” Appel à l’action signé par TOUS les médias (sauf Bolloré), de @humanite_fr jusqu’à @Le_Figaro Coordonné / @RSF_inter www.lemonde.fr/actualite-me...

"Même le discours pour la reconnaissance de la #Palestine de notre ministre des Affaires étrangères, ce lundi 28 juillet à l’ONU, mentionne sept fois le terrorisme palestinien mais jamais l’occupation israélienne, pourtant à l’origine de la violence depuis des décennies."

Toda, shokran, thank you for such a beautiful piece. "Among the many Jewish beliefs and traditions that should make this weaponization of food in #Gaza unthinkable, the idea of #tikkun_olam is that one has a duty to repair, or to heal, the world." #famine #stop_the_genocide

Today #Euractiv, a newspaper I used to love, wrote that France and UK’s recognition of Palestine are due to… Europe’s changing demographics with Muslim migrants! False but also racist, insulting and dangerous @euractiv.com’s new boss MK is destroying this newspaper’s credibility

On BBC Persia to discuss #France’s decision to recognize the State of #Palestine … and the imperative for all States to use "all available means in international law to stop Israel’s #genocide in Gaza" As urged today by Israeli human rights NGOs 👉🏼 youtu.be/0w7Hrmsm4v4?...

Is it a genocide ? Yes, according to Israel’s leading human rights NGOs. Israeli human rights NGOs urge world leaders "to use every means available under international law to stop Israel’s #genocide against the Palestinians" www.btselem.org/publications... #Gaza #Israel

My piece in @euobserver.com today It matters that France recognized the state of Palestine. But it matters even more to prevent what history will recognise as a genocide. Constructive comments welcome. #Gaza #Israel #Macron

Finally: "France 🇫🇷 will recognize the State of Palestine 🇵🇸" in its official speech at UN General Assembly this September. - 148th UN State - 12th EU State to recognize Hopefully soon? Belgium, Finland, Portugal, even Netherlands, Denmark… UK? #Statehood #international_law #Israel #Gaza

Today Hungary is going to host Netanyahu, instead of arresting him as ordered by the #ICC. EU Member States must condemn this profound violation of the Rome Statute. Or face further consequences for the destruction of an international order based on rules. www.hrw.org/news/2025/04...

#Gaza: @unhumanrights.bsky.social chief condemns attack by #Israel army resulting in the 15 humanitarian & health workers. #EU should call for full investigation & accountability for those responsible of such crimes. www.ohchr.org/en/press-rel... @hadjalahbib.bsky.social @kajakallas.bsky.social

Very concerning. Germany violates Rule of Law, freedom of expression and freedom of movement by deporting 4 EU, US citizens for taking part in a protest against the war in Gaza. This is neither proportional nor justified, and goes fully against basic EU and ECHR standards.

Organised by Israel’s far-right government, this week’s “conference on tackling antisemitism” hosts Marine Le Pen’s RN party, Viktor Orban’s, Srebrenica-genocide denier Milorad Dodik… Basically racist pro-Putin authoritarians. Britain’s Chief Rabbi pulled out: www.thejc.com/opinion/invi...

Plus on laisse passer ce genre de torchon, plus rapidement notre République se dissoudra. Je n’imagine pas la honte que ressentent certains des excellents journalistes et contributeurs du Figaro en subissant une telle dérive de leur rédaction.

This photo I just took is exactly what Brussels is now. Stepping into the unknown, with dark days ahead of us. #UkraineStrong

In only 4 days we saw 2 historical setbacks for so-called western democratic values - Germany’s new leader said he’ll invite Netanyahu against the ICC’s arrest warrant - Trump fully disrespected Ukraine’s President Zelensky after 3 years of heroic resistance to Putin, also under ICC arrest warrant

Unprecedented. Trump’s US, Orban’s Hungary and Netanyahu’s Israel just joined Putin and his few allies North Korea, Eritrea, Belarus … in opposing a UN resolution that condemns Russia’s invasion of #Ukraine - supported by all other Europeans Most Americans do NOT want this?

Bravo à la grande équipe de l’#AFD d’avoir contré les intox de l’extrême droite, prête à saborder une agence 🇫🇷 reconnue mondialement pour quelques jours d’attention sur les RS… PS: quel manque d’originalité de copier les Américains et Moscou, c’est ça les « vrais français » ? x.com/afd_france/s...

I have sent a right-of-reply in vain this week so I am publishing it here. #Euractiv's new Editor-in-Chief Matthew Karnitschnig still owes us an apology for his #HateSpeech against the Muslim community. www.linkedin.com/pulse/i-used... #islamophobia #antisemitism cc @Amnestyeu.bksy.social

10 immigrants were killed yesterday by a white male in a language education center in #Orebro #Sweden “Anti-migrant, racist, white supremacist hate crime” ? Motives are still unclear, officials say… So sometimes we are *very* careful in labeling. Thats good. Impressive dissonance, however.

I am very concerned. Coming from a muslim family and working in Brussels, I was shocked and hurt when I read #Euractiv’s ignorant and racist article by Matthew Karnitschnig @amnestyEU.bksy.social statement on the new editor-in-chief of Euractiv #hatespeech www.amnesty.eu/news/mainstr...

Who knew, that one day, after 1000s of ‎merciless aerial bombings of civilians in Syria, I would be meeting @raedalsaleh.bsky.social and ⁦‪‬⁩@firask.bksy.social … to discuss EU-Syria relations since the fall of Assad? ‎This is called ⁦‪#HOPE‬⁩ in capital letters. ‎⁧‫#عاش_الشعب_السوري_الحر‬⁩

80ans depuis Auschwitz. 80ans de construction 🇪🇺, de renforcement du droit international, pour que cela n’arrive plus jamais. Puis la réalité d’aujourd’hui. Banalisation des idées de l’extrême droite, de Trump à CNEWS. #NoublionsJamais disaient nos aïeux. Mais nous oublions!
