Finally! Fear it will be another 10 years before the Netherlands decides to recognize Palestine. 🇫🇷🇵🇸
Fidèle à son engagement historique pour une paix juste et durable au Proche-Orient, j’ai décidé que la France reconnaîtra l’État de Palestine. J’en ferai l’annonce solennelle à l’Assemblée générale des Nations unies, au mois de septembre prochain.…

Cambodia invasion of Thailand and horrendous OPSEC sponsored by Starbucks
Russia is totally not interested in any territorial conquest beyond Ukraine.
Very compromising pictures which indicate the current border skirmish are part of a planned Cambodian attack. Of course posted online by the mastermind himself.
It looks like Hun Sen, the President of Cambodia, posted these photos, including operational maps, to his Facebook page and then almost immediately deleted the picture with the maps (I can only find reposts).
Joint statement on Gaza from @AFP, @AP, @BBCWorld and @Reuters
The fact that the Cambodian military is targeting civilian sites in Thailand on a large scale this time makes this border clash much more dangerous compared to its predecessor of 2011.
14 words long 2 capital H’s About heritage, homeland, and the mass slaughter of indigenous people This is 100% all on purpose

Thailand 🇹🇭: Cambodian rockets hit a PTT gas station just across the border, causing it and the adjacent 7-Eleven to burn down.
Thailand 🇹🇭: according to the Thai Royal Army at least 3 civilians were injured when a Cambodia BM-21 Grad rocket hit a home in the Kap Choeng district, just across the border.


A crisis which is largely of Cambodia's own making. As Thailand sought to deescalate tensions weeks ago former PM Hun Sen decided to humiliate the Thai PM instead by leaking their private call, forcing the Thai government into a corner from which it could only escalate to survive
#BREAKING Thailand launches air strikes on two Cambodian military targets, says Thai army
I defended my master’s thesis amid the rubble of war in Gaza 💔… My dream was to pursue a PhD immediately, but the war stole time, destroyed the universities, and blocked my path. But I decided not to give up. From this moment on, I will follow PhD books online, study alone,…
Assad's legacy of destruction and death continues. Bedouins and Druze killing one another over drugs trade, political influence. Outsider influence (Israel) aiding + abetting anti-Syrian actors (al-Hijri/SMC) to attack fellow Syrians. Revenge attacks from all sides. Heartbreaking
Tonight’s protest at Ivana Franka Square, Kyiv. Significantly larger than yesterday, with possibly three times as many people. Crowds filing the park and spilling out onto the streets nearby.
BBC and DW: both on the ground in southern Syria speaking to victims of the sectarian violence. One spoke to Druze civilians, the other to Bedouin refugees. Both speak of horrors. Now watch as many people only share the stories of one side while ignoring those of the other.


#Syria: Hamza Amarin, head of the Civil Defense in Suwayda, went missing last Wednesday in the city of #Suwayda during a mission to evacuate civilians. He's believed to have been abducted, but there is still no information about his fate, the White Helmets just clarified.
