When humanitarian aid demeans political rights for Palestinians

As Gaza tries to impede the spread of coronavirus humanitarian aid albeit necessary is yet another reminder of how the international community continues to deny Palestinians their political rights and as a result the opportunity for autonomous decision-making.

When humanitarian aid demeans political rights for Palestinians

As Gaza tries to impede the spread of coronavirus humanitarian aid albeit necessary is yet another reminder of how the international community continues to deny Palestinians their political rights.

Palestinian prisoners don’t matter to Israel’s security narrative

Unsurprisingly Israel has not heeded requests to safeguard the health of Palestinian prisoners in its jails.

The EU supports UNRWA to safeguard its own diplomatic stance

The European Union is coming closer to admitting that there are political aims behind its funding of the UN Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA).

UNRWA funding will never be enough

The UN Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA) has launched an appeal for funds in preparation for a possible outbreak of the coronavirus in Palestinian refugee camps.

There are precedents for America’s eradication of Palestinian identity

The international community has stated repeatedly that it will not accept any changes to issues related to Palestine upon which global consensus has been reached.

No sustainability for the Palestinians without their legitimate RoR

The UN Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA) remains in perpetual financial crisis.

Another Israeli offensive against Gaza will expose US UN complicity

Ever since Israel’s Operation Protective Edge military offensive in 2014 Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s strategy has been to seek the normalization of bombing the Gaza Strip.

Speaking against settlement expansion is just a chore for the EU

The European Union’s fluctuations on Israel’s colonial settlement expansion are more prominent since the bloc’s refusal to issue a statement regarding US President Donald Trump’s so-called deal of the century.

Trump’s deal seeks to break Palestinian prisoners’ resistance

Palestinian prisoners – the bulwark of Palestinian resistance – have faced several levels of exclusion and exploitation throughout the decades.

Charles’ words on Palestine must not go unnoticed

Prince Charles’ visit to the occupied Palestinian territories has garnered media attention.

No opposition from the international community

The EU is predicting an increase in Israeli demolitions of Palestinian dwellings and structures in the occupied West Bank thus perpetuating the problem of displacement.

International consensus has become a platform for inaction

In a recent meeting with representatives from the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA) Palestine Liberation Organisation (PLO) Secretary-General Saeb Erekat once again wasted an opportunity to demand the implementation of the Palestinian right of return.

More war crimes are Israel’s plan for the immediate future

Israel’s main bone of contention with the International Criminal Court’s possible investigation into war crimes in occupied Palestine is about settlement expansion.

EU financial aid and the fragmentation of Palestinian society

European Union (EU) funding for Palestinian human rights organisations is not without its caveats.

UN diplomacy will continue to shelter Israel from accountability

A mere two days before the International Criminal Court’s Chief Prosecutor Fatou Bensouda announced an investigation into Israel’s war crimes against the Palestinian people (as well as those alleged to have been committed by others in the Occupied Palestinian Territories) the UN Special Coordinator for the Middle East Peace Process Nickolay Mladenov was updating the Security Council on the futility of UN Resolution 2334 (2016).
