In Tunisia, there's been an intensification in the state's targeting of migrants against the backdrop of an EU externalization agreement and in the crackdown on civil society.

What does this mean for Tunisia and Tunisians? An important, new read from The Tahrir Institute for Middle East Policy ⤵️

NEW: What can we expect #Tunisia ’s 2024 presidential race to look like against the backdrop of Kais Saied's authoritarian turn and closing space for free expression? Former nonresident fellow Lamine Benghazi reflects on Tunisia’s upcoming elections: timep.org/2024/05/28/tun…

Remember when respected humanitarians critiqued the idea of a US built pier in Gaza, noting it was costly, a distraction from the core demand to open existing land crossings, and ineffective?

The pier cost $320 million and only operated for one week before becoming unusable.

It's the 'gun-violence-thoughts-and-prayers' approach applied to Middle East politics. And about as meaningful.

Mai El-Sadany I was talking about this with an aid worker friend the other day. Imagine a lifetime of trying to be president only to have this be the only legacy anyone will ever remember.

Ironic that Biden has been wanting to be president since 1988. And when he finally did, he is now on track to end up with a legacy of abetting genocide -- all as a result of his own doing.

New investigation by the The Guardian reveals how the Israeli Mossad threatened former ICC prosecutor Fatima Bensouda to withdraw her investigation into Israeli crimes, including spying on her husband and family members in attempt to find material that can discredit her.

Mohamed Abu al-Dayyar, campaign manager of former presidential candidate Ahmed al-Tantawi, has been arrested from his home and taken into custody by Egyptian authorities after the one year prison term handed down against him was upheld by an appeals court yesterday.

Devastating & heartbreaking scenes in Rafah following yet another Israeli attack - in flagrant breach of the ICJ ruling & international law.

Our own Government's lack of leadership is beyond shameful. They must finally halt arms sales & put real pressure on to end this horror.

Another Israeli attack on a hospital, but this time in Lebanon.

I cannot stop thinking about how Aaron Bushnell burned himself alive in 'an extreme act of protest' to put an end to this, only for Israel to turn around and burn Palestinian children, women, and men alive just 90 days later.

To the journalists and newspapers reporting Netanyahu's 'tragic mistake' comment without fact-checking or providing context, it looks like we have another evening of 'tragic mistakes' upon us.

'This is who we are: the richest country on earth, with more poverty than any other advanced democracy. If America's poor founded a country, that country would have a bigger population than Australia or Venezuela.'

Canada is horrified by strikes that killed Palestinian civilians in Rafah. We do not support an Israeli military operation in Rafah. This level of human suffering must come to an end. We demand an immediate ceasefire.

I am completely outraged by the killing of civilians in Rafah. Today, President Biden should announce an end to all bomb shipments to Netanyahu.

We shouldn’t have to say this, but bombing refugees is indefensible. Killing babies is wrong.

Netanyahu must be stopped. No more military aid to Israel for collective punishment. No more red lines crossed. No more children slaughtered. We need a #CeasefireNow .

“The issue is the red line has been more than crossed — it’s been bombed,” a US official tells me of their expectations for how the administration will react to the latest horrors in Rafah.

Do you know how incredibly dehumanizing it is for Palestinians to have to ask that their decapitated babies and that their children burned alive make it to the headlines?

🚨Cool job alert!!🚨
