The United Nations is the bedrock of international law, which the Conservatives have undermined for too long.

I visited António Guterres in New York to make clear the next The Labour Party government will redouble support for the United Nations, back reform and restore future funding to UNRWA.

Glad to see an audience of liberals, Democrats, and Biden supporters at the Lincoln Theatre in DC, at this Crooked Media #LovettOrLeaveIt taping, mostly agreed with me on this:

As with the USAID leak to columlynch a few days ago, this State leak makes clear that there are plenty of people in the administration who have a clear and honest handle on what's going on.

🚨🚨🚨A new Israeli proposal for a possible hostage deal with Hamas includes a willingness to discuss the 'restoration of sustainable calm' in Gaza after an initial release of hostages on humanitarian grounds. My story on Axios

I will be part of a panel with (Matt Duss Nancy Okail & Nader Hashemi )that will discuss the current democracy and human rights challenges in the Gulf and the 'normalization deals with Israel' Middle East Democracy Center Georgetown University. You can register to attend (if you want) online or in person⬇️

Confused as to what role the “Office of the Special Envoy to Monitor and Combat Antisemitism” has in assessing the government of Israel’s compliance with the laws of armed conflict and the distribution of humanitarian aid

SCOOP: I reviewed an internal State Dept memo, parts of which was classified, that included the most extensive and serious to date warnings to Secretary Blinken over Israel’s possible non-compliance with international humanitarian law. Here’s what I learned 1/X

Say what you will, it's a bit funny that pro-Israel hasbara is suddenly against illegal settlements.

Activists who want to actually change policy instead of just performing radicalism are going to welcome support from political leaders, not bash them for being late.

The question at the end of this video is the one that should be asked of #PENAmerica . Not hand-wringing about New York festivals and awards ceremonies

USAID “assesses the government of Israel does not currently demonstrate necessary compliance” with the US legal requirement that it facilitate and not impede “the transport of delivery of United States humanitarian assistance” devex.com/news/exclusive…

It is also providing a cover for autocratic behavior elsewhere. How can the US censure illiberal regimes if its campuses look like this?

Currently have a bunch of people like this in my mentions and it never ceases to shock me how historically illiterate this demographic is. As someone who opposes the Biden administration on Israel/Gaza and campus protests, I assure you it can get worse by orders of magnitude.

“Surge of severe violence”? Students organized by terror orgs?

Why are Israeli university heads inciting against American students, including many Jews who are out there protesting?

What a deranged letter.

Maybe having a supreme council of unelected clerics with lifetime appointments was a bad plan.
