🚨 It’s become safe for you all, wherever you are and whatever you do, to say it clearly. 

🇬🇧 It is now the UK Government’s position.

♦️The occupation is unlawful.

♦️There are Israeli settler terrorists.

♦️They are engaged in ethnic cleansing of Palestinians.

♦️Members of the Israeli Government have supported the forced displacement of Palestinians.

♦️ In Gaza there has been death, destruction and dehumanisation on an appalling scale. More than 70,000 people have been killed, including at least 20,000 children. Nearly two million people have been displaced, humanitarian aid has been routinely blocked, hospitals and clinics destroyed and more than 60% of homes left in ruins.

♦️There is evidence that war crimes appear to have been committed in Gaza and those crimes must be investigated.

➡️ These are no longer words that can simply be dismissed as extreme or inflammatory. 

➡️ They are conclusions and descriptions the British Government itself is now prepared to use.

So use them. 

Say clearly what is happening to Palestinians.

The filings state that CIJA expressed: 

“Continued support for revocation of citizenship in cases involving war crimes, crimes against humanity, terrorism, and extreme promotion of hate; strengthened screening to bar entry and deny citizenship to individuals who pose security threats or have ties to extremist or terrorist organizations; removal of individuals already in Canada who obtained status through false representation; establishment of a fast-track removal stream for high-risk individuals linked to foreign extremist organizations; accelerated removals for individuals convicted of violent crimes; and standalone immigration consequences for expressing support for listed terrorist entities, even in the absence of criminal convictions.”

From the essay written by Bill Gates about the dangers inherent in AI, the steps he feels institutions should be taking nationally & internationally, to counter them. For starters, who would trust the US or Israel in any scenario as vital as controlling AI? www.gatesnotes.com/a-turbulent-...
AI-enabled fraud, disinformation, deepfakes, and surveillance are the harms that many people will feel most keenly in their everyday lives.

AI capabilities are starting to be used for cyberattacks. The smartest cybersecurity experts I know are scared about the next few years, because the attackers are getting powerful new capabilities faster than the defenders can fix all the weaknesses. After all, the same AI model that can find a flaw in software so a company can fix it can also help a criminal exploit it. The resources needed to make an attack are going down significantly and we haven’t been able to separate those abilities from benign usage.

Think about the infrastructure that will be vulnerable: hospitals, financial institutions, water systems, power grids, systems for managing government benefits. When these institutions are attacked, it’s the patients, customers, and benefits recipients who stand to lose.

The same goes for bioterrorism. Although AI will lead to lifesaving advances in drugs and vaccines, it will also make it easier to design a deadly new disease. Again, the positive capabilities are hard to separate from the dangerous ones. This is a global problem.The highest priority is a monumental task: creating a domestic and international framework for dealing with AI.

None of our current institutions were designed to handle a technology that spreads so fast and touches so many parts of our lives. So we’ll need to make new ones.

It’s hard to overstate what an enormous undertaking this will be. After the attacks of 9/11, the U.S. government went through its biggest reorganization since World War II for the purpose of improving just one function, national security.

AI will require much, much more. It will affect national security as well as employment, education, taxation, energy, elections, air and water, public health, the financial system, law enforcement, transportation, public lands, and IT systems.

These sectors overlap in ways our existing bureaucracy is not designed to manage. A labor department may understand workforce disruption but not security risk. A business regulator may understand market concentration but not AI’s effects on children and teenagers. Left to themselves, institutions will see only one part of the system, while the consequences of AI will ripple across the entire system.At the national level, countries will need bodies that can set priorities across government agencies. The goal will be to make sure that every risk is accounted for. Otherwise, an AI-enabled attack might succeed because no one thought it was their job to stop it.

But even a country that gets its own house in order will still be exposed to risks that cross borders. This is why an international organization will need to be built in parallel.

It will be unlike any other institution we have ever created, though it can follow the model of some existing systems. There’s an inspections regime for nuclear weapons, regulations for international aviation, and agreements that protect the ozone layer. A new global organization for AI will need elements of all three and more.

It is fair to wonder whether the world’s institutions are up to the task of designing and implementing this new architecture. Government moves slowly when it moves at all, and polarization within and between countries makes it harder than ever to get things done. Some cooperation between the U.S. and China will be required.

The Philippines entered the coalition in April 2026. As part of its entry into the coalition, the Philippine government is leasing around 4,000 acres (1,600 hectares) of land in New Clark City, Tarlac, Central Luzon. As part of the broader Luzon Economic Corridor, this lease is intended to last up to 99 years. This Economic Security Zone will serve as a site for high-tech industries and supporting businesses, functioning as a supply chain hub for artificial intelligence (AI) technology.

The formal binding agreement is set to be signed in November 2026.
