Trump's "Board of Peace" is expected to include Blair, Putin and Netanyahu - but not a single Palestinian.
At Davos, Jared Kushner presented the board's dystopian real estate vision for Gaza.
Gaza’s future is for Palestinians to decide. Not foreign powers or corporate greed.

<div class="content">
<div class="field field-field-text"><p>The Oxford Union, one of the world’s most prestigious student societies, has elected its first <a href="https://www.middleeasteye.net/countries/palestine" target="_blank">Palestinian</a> president. </p>
<p>Arwa Hanin Elrayess was elected to head up the union for the trinity (summer) term in 2026. </p>
<p>She was elected with 757 first preference votes, which was 150 more than the runner-up. </p>
<p>Turnout was 1,528, which was distinctly higher than the previous term’s election, according to the <a href="https://www.oxfordstudent.com/2025/11/29/arwa-elrayess-wins-tt26-oxford-union-presidency/" target="_blank">Oxford Student</a>. </p>
<p>Elrayess studies philosophy, politics and economics, and belongs to the St Edmund’s Hall constituent college. </p>
<p>Reacting to the election, her father Mohamed Elrayess wrote on LinkedIn: “Very proud of my daughter… for making history as the first Arab female, the first Palestinian, and the first Algerian to be elected President of the Oxford Union.” </p>
<p>The president-elect was involved in the production of a documentary called <em>Heart of a Protest</em>, which focused on protests in London in solidarity with Palestinians. </p>
