On the 2nd year anniversary of the 7th of October, after the terrible physical and mental toll inflicted on both sides, the time for the killing to stop is NOW.
We hope that the current negotiations produce lasting peace for both Palestinians and Israelis.

I call it genocide because IT IS genocide.
Defined by intent, not by method or means.
Visible without magnification—if we look with context, at the victims: what they share is being part of a group, as such. Because of it, they get killed, tortured, maimed, starved, raped, massacred. In dozens or hundreds daily.
Genocide is a process, not a single act.
A collective act. A criminal venture.
To end it, we must first be willing to see it.

Le 4 juin 1989, des manifestants pacifiques étaient massacrés sur la place Tian Anmen à Pékin. Ne jamais oublier.
六四！天安门大屠杀!

Enough. We demand rapid, safe, and unimpeded access to starving civilians in Gaza.
We have a plan. We have thousands of trucks of food at the border. Let us in. Let us work.

Love is love. Belgium will always defend LGBTIQ+ rights. I deeply regret the decision of the Hungarian Parliament restricting yet again freedom of expression and identity. 🏳️🌈

Ukraine not at table - despite the fact t it is fighting war with Russia. And Europe not at table despite fact that Hegseth wants Europe to provide security guarantees. Ukraine is being sold down river by Trump, literally “sold”.

"If implemented, the two laws adopted by the Knesset of Israel would likely prevent @unrwa from continuing its essential work in the Occupied Palestinian Territory, as mandated by the UN General Assembly, with devastating consequences for Palestine refugees." - @antonioguterres

Layla Moran, "Muhammad is a consultant NHS surgeon.. His parents are in Jabalya refugee camp.. They are elderly.. They cannot move.. There is nowhere safe for them to move"
"If they try to move, everything is being shot by drones and there are bodies in the street"
"Will the minister tell the Israel government that the sick, the disabled and the elderly are not legitimate targets of war, no mater how many times they might have been told to move" @LaylaMoran
"Furthermore, if arrest warrants are issued for Netanyahu, will this government support it?"

If the riots represent the worst of Britain, the reaction to them represents the best.
We have seen so many local communities rejecting hatred and racism, standing in solidarity, and showing that we have a different vision for who we are as the British people.

The EU continues to forge ahead as a global trading superpower, opening deals all over the planet.
Remember in 2016 when some politicians said we had to choose between trading with Europe or trading with the world? It was stunningly ignorant - being IN the EU opens up the world.

The Kremlin is trying to:
1⃣Poison Romania-Moldova relations,
2⃣Frame Ukraine as an aggressor towards Belarus,
3⃣Undermine Western support for Ukraine.
See through the Kremlin's smoke and mirrors. Read our latest #DisinfoReview, and #DontBeDeceived.

Deeply concerned about increasing persecution & arrests of human rights defenders in Cambodia, such as the latest verdict on Mother Nature environmental activists. We call for the upholding of democratic standards & respect for human rights, incl the right to peaceful protest

We rejoice at the news of the liberation of EU colleague & 🇸🇪 citizen Johan Floderus and his compatriot Saeed Azizi. We thank Swedish & Omani authorities. Other EU citizens are still arbitrarily detained in Iran. We’ll continue to work for their freedom together w/ EU MS involved

Horrified by news coming out of #Rafah on Israeli strikes killing dozens of displaced persons, including small children. I condemn this in the strongest terms.
There is no safe place in Gaza. These attacks must stop immediately. ICJ orders & IHL must be respected by all parties.
