Watching the Gaza “peace” summit unfold, @nesrinemalik.bsky.social nails it: “hameeha harameeha” — its protector is its thief. Peace without #accountability is no peace. Justice is the only path to lasting peace in #Gaza. Palestinian survivors must not return to life under occupation.
While the perpetrators of Gaza’s genocide pose as its saviours, survivors return home – to a wasteland | Nesrine Malik
Western leaders attending the Sharm el-Sheikh summit have enabled and sponsored this slaughter. They are in no position to build a Palestinian future, says Guardian columnist Nesrine Malik
