Trump inauguration was a starter pistol for an annexation push on the northern West Bank. As one colleague there put it: "Now that there is a suspension in Israel's war on Palestinians in Gaza, it feels like the Israeli military is starting a war on us in the West Bank."

Ceasefire comes into effect on Sunday. Colleagues in Gaza are very worried about what comes next, experience shows Israel always escalates its destruction in terrifying ways before a ceasefire deadline.

It's no accident that this disgusting and dangerous opinion is being given space in the WSJ at the same time as Trump is talking about taking over Greenland. Annexation is having another moment. We are being encouraged to accept Might is Right for this new era.

I've never looked ahead to a new year with such dread. The media is barely paying attention to what is going on in Gaza, politicians have almost given up pretending to even care. We're going to have to dig really deep to end this.

Our leaders must demand the immediate and safe release of Dr Hussam Abu Safiya and all detained Gaza health workers. Health workers are not a target, and impunity for Israel's destruction of Palestinian healthcare must end. Please share.

The grim predictability of Israel waiting for the holidays to escalate its attacks on Kamal Adwan Hospital. When Western media and governments are distracted. We all knew this would happen, but nobody with power did anything to stop it. There must be consequences.

BREAKING: 5 staff killed during Israeli targeting of Kamal Adwan Hospital. Those killed: • Dr. Ahmed Samour (pediatrician) • Israa Abu Zaida (laboratory specialist) • Abdul Majeed Abu Al-Aish (paramedic) • Maher Al-Ajrami (paramedic). • Fares Al-Hudali (maintenance specialist).

“There are no journalists in Gaza.” Palestinian journalists deserve our respect, solidarity & love, not erasure (even if unintentional) from Foreign Secretary DavidLammy. Killed, maimed, denied their trade, working with execution targets on their backs to show the horrors of Israeli genocide.

This argument promoted by Keir Starmer's spox in response to ICC warrants against Netanyahu and Gallant that there is "no moral equivalence" between Israel and Hamas is - at best - a racist dog whistle. It essentially says Palestinian lives are worth less than Israelis.
