🚨In her address to the 🇺🇳 UN General Assembly’s Third Committee, Special Rapporteur @FranceskAlbs told those delegates who had ignored the crisis in #Gaza "Is it possible that after 42,000 people killed, you cannot empathize with the Palestinians?"

The message is simple (and yet unheard): JUST DO NOT SEND WEAPONS
Amy Goodman asked me to look at the camera and send a message to the world. The next day, yesterday, my wife lost 22 members of her uncles families in Beit Lahia.

Just imagine that not our families are massacred on a daily basis but also at the same time we are not allowed to appear and talk to the world about this? I’ve been fighting and begging to appear on CNN and BBC to talk about my wife who lost 22 of her uncles’ families in north Gaza two days ago, about my aunt’s family who lost 16 people in Jabalia two weeks ago. For the past 11 months since I left Gaza, during which I lost so many relatives, friends, students, and a whole city, I only got to speak three times, two of which were because I had a book coming out. We need to speak at least every week to update this cruel world about what’s happening in Gaza right now. Check my previous post about the Kamal Odwan Hospital. It’s important. I have not been able to talk to my young sister and her three children and her husband for two weeks. I don’t know if they are still breathing! At least let us speak about them. We are speaking!! And we are dying!!!!!!!

My communication with a BBC producer. Everyone is complicit. The blood of our families are on your hands. The rubble of my city will remain on your shoulders.

"I am afraid that IHL is under the rubble in Gaza", said HR/VP @JosepBorrellF ...do we want to witnessing that silently, or do we wanna do something to resurrect it?
"We reiterated our support to UNIFIL & UNRWA. We called for a ceasefire in Lebanon & in Gaza, the release of the hostages & for compliance w/ humanitarian law. But I am afraid that IHL is under the rubble in Gaza", said HR/VP @JosepBorrellF after the EU Foreign Ministers' mtg.

Israeli NGOs warn international community it will be complicit if Israel forcibly transfers the population of Northern Gaza Human rights NGOs based in Israel today called on the international community to take action now to prevent Israel from forcibly transferring hundreds of thousands of Palestinians who have remained in the Northern Gaza Strip outside of the area, including by denying entry of essential humanitarian aid and fuel. The Israeli ceasefire coalition, the groups Gisha, B’Tselem, PHR-I and Yesh Din, said that there are alarming signs that the Israeli military is beginning to quietly implement the Generals’ Plan, also referred to as the Eiland Plan, which calls for complete forcible transfer of the civilians of the northern Gaza Strip through tightening the siege on the area and starving the population. The NGOs reiterated the warning that states have an obligation to prevent the crimes of starvation and forcible transfer, and that if the continuation of the “wait and see” approach will enable Israel to liquidate northern Gaza, they will be complicit. All states and relevant international institutions should act now and use all tools at their disposal - legal, diplomatic and economic - to prevent this.

A new report from @972mag reveals the existence of an Israeli military proposal ordering everyone in northern Gaza to evacuate within one week, after which Israel will deem anyone who remains an eligible target for military attack.
