The Palestinian Presidency expressed deep regret and astonishment at the decision of the U.S. Department of State not to grant visas to the Palestinian delegation scheduled to participate in the upcoming United Nations General Assembly meetings in September.
The Presidency stressed that this decision stands in clear contradiction to international law and the UN Headquarters Agreement, particularly since the State of Palestine is an observer member of the United Nations.

The Gaza Famine is the world’s famine. A preventable, predictable famine.
Enough. Ceasefire. Open all crossings, north and south. Let us get food in, unimpeded and at massive scale.

Saeed Naji Zomlot, the cousin closest to my heart, was killed by Israel. We last spoke four days ago. Saeed told me his children were starving and he had no choice but to go north of #Gaza in search of food. I asked him to be careful. He went—and never came back.
Today, the family confirmed his death. An Israeli missile struck him and those around him as they searched for food for their children.
I promise Saeed: we will care for your children and all our children. We will never forget. We will never forgive—until the war criminals are held fully accountable.

For us, I told @PiersUncensored, the life of one Palestinian child is worth the world.
I appreciate the journey Piers travelled in reaching the truth, and respect his acknowledgement at the end of this interview the many mistakes committed by mainstream media since Oct 2023 and before. Link to the full interview youtu.be/JRjxC4kK1BY?si=5aRS…

19. At the same time we should recognize that @UKLFI is vector of false information about the Gaza death toll and should not be taken seriously on this subject.

I, along with many fellow journalists, signed the letter demanding the Royal Television Society reinstate its Award for Palestinian Journalists. I welcome the RTS promise to U-turn but there’s still a big question mark over its decision making process artistsforpalestine.org.uk/2…

Over 60 MPs from eight parties have now backed my Parliamentary motion calling for sanctions on Israel.
Israel is carrying out war crime after war crime.
Our Government must impose widespread sanctions on Israel to force it to stop.

The row back by some media outlets over their reporting of the events in the immediate aftermath of the Amsterdam riots is quite something. Alas, it’s too late. This will become an example of how, when the basic rules of reporting are ignored, public trust in the media is eroded

RIP Paul Stephenson, who has died aged 87. He organised the successful Bristol bus boycott of 1963, now recognised as an important moment in British social history - by winning the argument against racial discrimination in practice, and then in law too.

“The consequences of inadequate coverage are significant. Every television report, article and radio interview that has failed to robustly challenge Israeli claims has systematically dehumanised Palestinians,” @BBCNews staff
