Alex de Waal | Starvation in Gaza
Twice already during this war, the people of Gaza have pulled back from the brink of categorical famine – both times...
“Gaza is unique in the annals of starvation…In Somalia or Sudan, when food becomes scarce, people fall back on age-old alternatives…Palestinians in Gaza can’t do any of this. Israel controls every shekel, every sack of flour, every connection to the outside world.”

Opinie: Israëls razernij in Syrië vraagt om een Europese reactie
Israël voert een zeer gevaarlijke campagne in Syrië. Dat vraagt om duidelijker optreden, vinden Mohammad Kanfash en Ali Aljasem.
Israël moet aantonen dat het zich houdt aan het internationaal recht. De EU kan daarbij helpen. Een eerste stap zou zijn dat de EU begrijpt dat de Israëlische escalatie een strategische bedreiging vormt voor haar belangen!
Met Ali Aljasem, #Syrië

Sanctions: the Iraqi-style, lifting-sanctions: Sudan-style!

My thoughts go to the CTF compliance officers at banks who will have to process financial transactions to Syria!

I'm sure you'll see it but just in case, Arwa Ajjoub has made a preliminary inventory of who is who including nationalities - interesting and informative!

Imho, this is something of the past. Devoid of ability to take sovereign decisions and beholden to the US, these governments seem to have missed the bus! Seems more likely that the Syrian grid will be plugged into that of Turkije now!

Hi Alexander! The Caesar Act was incorporated into the National Defense Authorization (NDAA) 2025, which was passed on 18 Dec, and will be in effect for the next 5 years.

A call to #lift_sanctions on #Syria and for a realistic policy in this regard (cc-Caspar Veldkamp).
The suffering of ordinary Syrians should not be exploited to make (geo-)political gains or as a leverage against Syria's new rulers.
