1) The "Palestinian national consensus" is for a two state solution. Yes, any enthusiasm is long gone, viability is widely doubted, but there is no consensus on anything else, not even a coherent alternative.

2) International law on Palestine is all framed through partition and two states.

Kuwait has officially stripped citizenship from an astonishing 5% of its population - over 70,000 people - and a full 20% may be impacted. Good backgrounder on what’s going on by Sultan Alamer and Fatimah Muhammad.

Cuireann sin i gcuimhne dom an t-oifigeach francach ar scairt mé air faoi cheist thábhachtach agus dúirt sé liom go raibh sé ró-ghafa le ceist thábhachtach eile an tráth sin so chuir mé ceist air faoin cheist thábhachtach eile agus dúirt nár bhain sin leis.

Luadh iad uair nó dó ach gan aon chuma ar an scéal go raibh mórán cur amach ag lucht a luaite orthu. Go bunúsach an rud a tharla i dtír nach é an Béarla a teanga tá sé mar nár tharla sé don chuid is mó. Ach chonaic mé moladh ó chúpla iar cheannairí de na Gilets Jaunes do na hagóidí anseo.

US-Israeli Attacks on Iran Show a Pattern of ‘Double-Tap’ Strikes New Lines verified three cases in Tehran and Karaj where sites were hit multiple times, increasing the harm to civilians and first responders for little military advantage

Analysis by @ntabrizy.bsky.social and myself for @newlinesmag.bsky.social reveals that the U.S.-Israeli coalition has employed so-called double tap strikes, showing a callous disregard for civilians and a pattern of airstrikes seeking to inflict reckless harm on Iranians.

Ní thig liom aon rud faoi leith a léamh sa chéad phictiúr. Sa dara ceann tá cúpla focal scríofa arís agus arís eile ach ní thig liom aon chiall a bhaint astu don chuid is mó. Ach más in Islamabad atá sé seans maith gur Urdu a bheadh ann seachas aon teanga a thuigfinn féin

Chuaigh mé isteach ar an traein ar maidin seachas sa charr. Uair agus 40 nóiméad seachas uair a chloig. Bhuel, dá mbeadh na traenacha níos tapúla ní bheinn ag tiomáint isteach in aon chor.

Israel’s murderous rampage in Beirut today is both massive war crimes piled upon war crimes and a clear effort to blow up the ceasefire whether Trump wants it or not.

Massacre upon massacre in Beirut in the last hour. AUBMC announced a “code disaster.” Over 100 airstrikes in 10 minutes across the country. One hit right behind my house. Sirens ambulances & the smell of sulphur. The city is in total chaos the people in complete panic

Before playing Kamancheh, he says: 'Hello, I'm Mohammad-Reza Afarideh, the director of the ed. institute that has now been destroyed. I wanted the last sound coming from my institute not to be of missiles and war; (I want the) final sound to be of the instrument that I played in it. Thank you'.

Go bhfios dom níor mhair an R' chomh fada le ré na Nua-Ghaeilge in aon chor. An bhfuil saoi sean-ghaeilge nó meán-ghaeilge ar bith ar TikTok leis an fhoghraíocht a thaispeáint dúinn?

#Israel Au Liban l’armée israélienne détruit méthodiquement les villages libanais occupés et évacués par leurs habitants.
Des dynamitages (et non des frappes comme je l’ai écrit).
(Au moins un dynamitage semble employant des explosifs thermobariques)

Americans are stranger still: they talk about people's weight in pounds even when the amount adds up to multiple stone! Like saying something costs one thousand seven hundred cents, except much harder to interpret.

If I can learn Irish, I believe anyone can. I was useless at Irish at school. I got a D in Ordinary level Irish in the Leaving Cert. I got 9% in an assessment years later. I never used a word until I had children.
I think you need to find a method that works for you! ❤️ #Gaeilge

"Ahmed Al-Harsh waited outside Nasser Hospital in Khan Younis on Monday to meet his son, a toddler and the only other survivor of his entire family.
...
Al-Harsh’s entire family was killed in the attack—his four-year-old daughter, his father, mother, brother, sisters-in-law, nephews, and nieces."

Bonjour, je vous suivais sur twitter, je suis bien content de vous retrouver ici. J' étais une fois journaliste en moyen Orient et après cela en France, j'imagine que c'est ainsi que je vous avais trouvé la première fois sur twitter.

Guns in the streets as US, Israel intensify month-long attacks across Iran A senior IRGC official in Tehran told state television that children over 12 can join armed patrols and checkpoints.

Videos of destroyed Iranian buildings & civilians killed slowly coming out. It seems the internet is somehow coming back. The results are horrifying. USraelis now bombing the Polytechnic University of Tehran (one of the centres of anti-gov’t student protests) in the heart of Tehran.
