It’s not just a date. It’s a 4 cm date and I think it might be the last date left in #Gaza. I had kept it for months, saving it for the darkest days. I love dates and so does my mother. Yesterday, I gave it to her. Today, she passed it to my younger sister Nesma, and then Nesma

Today I am imposing sanctions on UN Human Rights Council Special Rapporteur Francesca Albanese for her illegitimate and shameful efforts to prompt Int'l Criminal Court action against U.S. and Israeli officials, companies, and executives. Albanese’s campaign of political and economic

The reason I have been tormented for years, accused of the most absurd falsehoods -including being "a threat to the existence of the state of Israel", the U.S., and even "the global economy" (sic!)- is simple: and it’s all right here👇- Thank you Nimer Sultany for the 🧵

On what is happening in Brussels 🇪🇺: 1/ "Historic" would be a meeting leading to the end of the genocide, the dismantling of Israel’s forever-occupation and apartheid, and the beginning of justice and accountability— in line with int'l law, and as per ICJ and ICC proceedings.
