‘The appointment of Nusseibeh, who has been the face of the UAE’s Sudan strategy, would be a slap in the face to the millions of people suffering the horrors of war, and a dereliction of duty towards those thousands who have already been killed.’ theguardian.com/commentisfre…

“I live in a small town in the West Bank… 85 percent of the [population] is American citizens… We’re facing settler violence on a daily basis… They commit ethnic cleansing tactics of Palestinians by pushing Palestinians out of their lands and of course, many of these Palestinians are Americans, like myself. I myself have lost access to more than 5,000 acres that I own.” Palestinian American lawyer Yaser Alkam details the daily violence inflicted upon his community in the West Bank by Israeli settlers—noting that most of the population in his small village suffering from these attacks are American citizens.

This morning, the Israeli state revoked my travel authorization. They've banned me from visiting the illegally occupied West Bank. It’s clear that Israel does not want someone with a track record of fighting for Palestinian liberation to be in the West Bank exposing the horrific crimes being carried out every day by violent Israeli settlers with the full support of the Israeli military.

100s dead, infrastructures destroyed, mass displacement & humanitarian disaster: #Israel's violations in #Lebanon are emboldened by EU leaders' silence & inaction. EU states should end all arm sales & suspend trade part of Association Agreement w/ Israel hrw.org/news/2026/04/10/leba…

Utterly discriminatory death penalty bill passed by @KnessetT is another mark of #Apartheid & another line in the list of #Israel's serious breaches to #EU-#Israel Association Agreement. @KajaKallas: time to review & suspend Agreement. hrw.org/news/2026/03/31/isra…

Concerns (finally!) without condemnation: #EU statement on #Israel attacks' devastating impact on civilians in #Lebanon shows once again the bloc's double-standard & inaction. #EUCO: Words remain empty without actions to stop killings, mass displacement & to press for justice.
The EU is deeply concerned about the ongoing Israeli offensive in Lebanon. Civilians are paying the highest price also in terms of casualties. Read our full statement: link.europa.eu/T83HK7

Pledging to defend rules-based system, but failing to stand for it when norms are crushed by its partners, cannot serve EU's interests. EU is credible & reliable when it leads by example - not when it bites its tongue when allies undermine norms. ec.europa.eu/commission/pres…
We can build a foreign policy that makes us stronger at home. More influential globally. And a better partner to countries around the world. That is a core pillar of European independence. That protects our interests and advances our values. teapawt.net/i/broadcasts/1yGBeMvrM…

"Chaos in Middle East is direct consequence of erosion of int'l law" - which is direct consequence of States attacking or failing to uphold it. @KajaKallas asks the question #EU as a whole should have already answered (hint: option B, heed the clarion!). reuters.com/world/middle-eas…

#EU's selective & ambiguous words on situation in Middle East can only continue to undermine the bloc's credibility. They also badly weaken int'l norms. @EU_EEAS should explicitly press United States, Israel, and Iran to abide by IHL & protect civilians. hrw.org/news/2026/02/28/us/i…
Statement of @KajaKallas on behalf of the EU on developments in the Middle East We call for maximum restraint, protection of civilians & full respect of int law We reiterate our commitment to regional stability & the protection of civilian life 👇 link.europa.eu/vgvXNT

💧 Water crisis in Adre camp, Chad Sudanese refugees face severe water shortages. Women carry water on their heads over long distances just to meet basic needs. After fleeing violence in Darfur, refugees shouldn't face dehydration in displacement. Access to clean water is a fundamental human right, not a privilege. The humanitarian crisis in Chad's refugee camps continues to worsen. Refugees protested in Marah camp. Testimonies from Qaga camp reveal desperation. Now water shortages in Adre camp. Urgent action is needed. #Sudan #Chad #AdreСamp #WaterCrisis #RefugeeCrisis #KeepEyesOnSudan #sudan_war_updates #HumanitarianEmergency #RefugeeRights
💔 "People in the camps have lost all interest in life. We even have a problem with drinking water." Mariam Hussein Mohammed Refugee from West Darfur Now in Qaga camp, eastern Chad Her testimony reveals the dire crisis refugees face. #KeepEyesOnSudan #sudan_war_updates

Capture of #Uvira in eastern #DRCongo by #M23 & #Rwanda forces forced 200,000 people to flee, puts civilians at risk. At #FAC today, #EU should end wait-and-see attitude in the face of blatant collapse of US-brokered deal. @HRW's first report 👇 hrw.org/news/2025/12/15/dr-c…

#Tunisia's arrest of prominent activists, following flawed conspiracy trial, should raise #EU's concerns, no? Instead, @EU_EEAS @UeTunisie remain loudly silent, emboldening Kais Saied's repression. @vonderLeyen @kajakallas: time to shift gear, speak up. hrw.org/news/2025/12/09/tuni…

What could prevent future crimes is European politicians - incldg @EPPGroup - speaking the truth instead of covering up #UnitedArabEmirates' role in #Sudan. Have 2 years of silence changed their behavior? Time to shift gear; Truth is never incompatible with solution to conflict.

What fueled tensions & lead to El-Fasher massacre is the provision of new weapons to RSF. Among them: #France's mil equipment & #Bulgaria's ammunitions. What fuels impunity is silence towards #UnitedArabEmirates' violations of UN embargo. Two issues that should worry @EPPGroup.
