President Trump hailed the UN’s adoption of his Gaza plan as a victory for peace. But the choice that moves like this force countries into – between human rights and humanitarian aid – makes everyone less safe, writes @zaha-hassan.bsky.social. Zaha explains: carnegieendowment.org/research/202...

By Endorsing the U.S. Gaza Plan, the UN Security Council Elevates “Rule by Law” Over Rule of Law
Resolution 2803 legitimizes indefinite Israeli control over Gaza in partnership with the United States and facilitates Israel’s plans to block a Palestinian state.

For those who support international legality and human rights, UNSC 2803 that endorsed the Trump Gaza Plan is a gut punch. It is the first time the Security Council was used in an attempt to make what is prohibited under law legal. Read here: carnegieendowment.org/research/202...

“How Palestinians would know they were crossing an invisible line was not made clear to them, the soldiers said. ‘How they know is a really good question. Enough people died or got injured crossing that line, so they don’t go near it.’”

From advocating for the “resettlement” of Palestinians from Gaza to negotiating directly with Hamas, the Trump administration has upended U.S. policy in the region, says @zaha-hassan.bsky.social. Zaha’s conversation with @sophiabesch.bsky.social: www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZoP3...

With #Palestinians facing renewed #Israeli bombardment in #Gaza and 250k under evacuation orders to move south again, the plans for Gaza's so- called 'day after' seem like a cruel mirage. I discuss with my colleage @sophiabesch.bsky.social @carnegieendowment.org

The good news is Fattouh is head of PLO Palestinian National Council which is the highest legislative body for Palestinians everywhere. Reasserting PLO authority over PA is critical.
