I have little faith either the US or Israel will be faithful to this deal (just look at Lebanon’s ceasefire). But the ‘I’m powerless’ play was nonsense when US spent 31$ bn supporting/assisting Israel’s war across the region across 2 admins. Some care more about Biden’s rep than our lives

Global Sumud Flotilla is live as Israel threatens to stop them from breaking the starvation siege of Gaza.

A reminder that they are not entering Israeli waters, but Palestinian waters.

Israel intends to violate international law once again.

'French police are responsible for the deaths or disappearances of at least 24 people – including pregnant women and children – during violent interceptions at sea off the coast of Mayotte. The incidents span from 2007 to July 2025.'

“They hit us and watched us drown”

French police cause dozens of drownings with violent tactics against small boats trying to reach overseas territory Mayotte. Similar tactics are being proposed for the Channel.

Jana Ayyad (8 yo) passed away one week ago. She followed her sister Joury (2 yo) who was also starved to death recently.
Like around 16.000 other #Gazan children, Jana was on the evacuation list, but wasn't cleared by Cogat/#Israel.
RIP, Jana and Joury 🕊️🤍

No worries, Jordan would have been her host country. It’s too much to expect from the ‘poor’ and ‘overwhelmed’ EU countries to treat a handful of children with life-threatening conditions. Of course we wouldn’t want to burden them.

By night, by day, people in #Gaza are forced to flee for their lives.

They have nowhere to go.
Most shelters are operating at full capacity. Some displaced families are sleeping outdoors and in unsafe areas.
No place is safe.
