🚨New statement from Nancy Okail in response to reports of the components of the Israeli Security Cabinet-approved plan for the full takeover of Gaza.

Demanding the Trump administration to act in accordance with the Leahy Law should be the baseline policy position for any Member of Congress or political figure attempting to position themselves as a defender of U.S. and international law.

"With Assad now in Russia and Iranian troops withdrawn from Syria, Western sanctions enacted against the now-absent regime present a major hurdle for the new government’s reconstruction efforts." In light of the promised lift of sanctions, resharing: internationalpolicy.org/publications/s…

I wrote about the connections between Trump’s deportations and Bukele’s State of Exception in El Salvador, for Center for International Policy’s The International Policy Journal: “This is not a crime policy, but a use of the crime issue to concentrate power in the executive” internationalpolicy.org/publications/e…

Israel’s plan to forcibly displace civilians from Gaza after months of starvation and bombing must be stopped. That begins with halting the supply of US arms used to commit these grave violations of US and international law. 22 lawmakers have introduced a bill to do just that.

In a move so unsurprising people have predicted it since day one, powerful, horny men are unable to peacefully share an administration made of pure ego.

The State Department Needs Reorganization, Rubio’s Plan Isn’t It. New from Cole Donovan in The International Policy Journal internationalpolicy.org/publications/s…

Last month, Rubio announced a plan to reorganize the State Department, which is long overdue for reorganization. Loyalty oaths, cutting aid, and vanity offices are all the wrong way to go about it. Here’s what diplomacy actually needs:

Can Trump & Tehran Make a Deal? Join our panel discussion next week at Busboys and Poets and hear from top experts on what the US and Iran want and the prospects for diplomacy or war. With Alan Eyre, Jamal Abdi, Sina Azodi. Tuesday June 17 at 6pm RSVP: busboysandpoets.com/events/th-evt-…

Netanyahu’s strikes on Iran are acts of diplomatic sabotage that risk escalation, endangering civilians in both countries & across the region. The US must stop supplying offensive weapons to Israel, which also continue to be used against Gaza, & urgently recommit to

As someone who keenly remembers the "Mission Accomplished" banner proceeding years of tragedy and bloodshed from a war of choice, I'm very happy to publish Nicholas Noe at The International Policy Journal on why any claimed victory over Iran will prove hollow internationalpolicy.org/publications/t…
