There is something deeply unsettling in the way Arab and Western diplomats continue to dismiss Israeli political declarations as mere rhetoric. Equally puzzling is the extent to which Israeli politicians have proven honest and explicit about their intentions. Now, 21 months into Israel’s genocide in Gaza, we can look back and see how Israel has, step by step, implemented nearly all the promises it made on 8 October 2023, while the world has stood by and watched as entire cities were wiped off the face of the earth. Over time, the global consensus has shifted toward acknowledging that what is…

The family of a 10-year-old boy who was killed whilst trying to receive aid at the controversial Israeli- and US-backed Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF) have yet to receive his body, more than two months after he went missing and a week after a US whistleblower said he saw Israeli forces shoot him dead. Last week, retired US army soldier Anthony Aguilar, who worked as a security subcontractor at the GHF, said he saw Israeli forces kill Abdulrahim ‘Amir’ al-Jarabe’a on 28 May, whilst he was manning a GHF aid distribution point in southern Gaza. “This young boy, Amir, walked up to me, barefoot and wearing…
Israel has been accused of the crime of starving civilians since the beginning of its war on Gaza in October 2023. In late July, the UN-backed Integrated Food Security Phase Classification (IPC), the world’s leading hunger monitoring system, said that the “worst-case scenario of famine” is unfolding in Gaza due to the Israel-imposed famine and siege. At the time of publication, more than 160 Palestinian children and adults in Gaza have died from starvation, according to the territory’s health ministry. Even before the current war, which has killed at least 60,000 Palestinians and displaced almost all the 2.2m population, Israel…

In December 2023, the civil war that had broken out the previous April between the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) and the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) took a troubling turn when the paramilitary group seized the country’s second-largest city, Wad Madani, in a swift offensive. The sudden fall of Wad Madani, under circumstances that are not yet fully clear, dealt a heavy blow to the regular army and came as a shock to the hundreds of thousands of people, many of them displaced from Khartoum, who had come to see the city as a safe refuge. The RSF’s advance quickly triggered…
