Today, student association SIB of the University of Groningen hosted Ambassador Ammar Hijazi for an in-depth conversation on the Question of Palestine and the United Nations — the historic phases of the conflict and the responsibility they carry, the role of humanity in upholding the principles of justice and accountability, and the hope for a future rooted in freedom, dignity, and Palestinian self-determination.
A heartfelt thanks to SIB Groningen for facilitating this insightful dialogue.

The true face of impunity, terrorism and unhinged supremacy: Israeli terrorists attacking an elderly Palestinian-American man and burning his car — encouraged, armed, and financed by an unlawful occupation, and shielded by an immoral army that is on the UN's "list of shame" for grave violations against children, and whose deliberate targeting of Palestinian children is documented in the COI report. Still nowhere near accountability.
Century-old Palestinian olive trees, torn from the earth, tended by the same Palestinian families for generations. This is what erasure looks like: an unlawful colonial occupation and an apartheid regime uprooting not just trees, but memory, livelihood, and the existence of a nation on their land. And later they will claim they “made the desert bloom”. And some, just like before, will cheer the lie on.
A timely and welcomed step by South Africa to end the occupation’s relentless violations of the legally binding Provisional Measures Orders by the ICJ, including its continued genocidal acts, through continued bombardment, high toll of civilian casualties, and blocking of essential supplies in Gaza.
South Africa leads by example, reminding all states of their obligations under international law, including the Genocide Convention and the obligation of states to give effect to ICJ provisional measures orders. All state parties have an independent obligation to prevent and punish genocide. States continuing arms transfers to the party violating ICJ provisional measures risk being held complicit under international law.

“I was moulded by the Palestinian landscape. The land plays an important role in my art and in my nature as a human being. I said to myself ‘rather than drawing the land, I will draw with land.’ People would ‘inhale’ my artwork at exhibitions – they would feel the Palestinian heritage, by touch, by scent, with the senses”- Sliman Mansour
We mourn the passing of the revered icon of Palestinian art, Sliman Mansour.
His art is an eternal vessel of collective memory of Palestine, of the beauty of the land, and of the resilience and rootedness of the Palestinian people. He narrated the struggle of Palestine, visualized its soul onto his canvasses, and preserved the dignity of its people.
Through his art, he carved a space for a future of liberation, return, and freedom, juxtaposed with our heritage, history, and the land that can never be erased.

Israeli occupation forces and settlers carried out more than 467 attacks against Palestinians in the occupied West Bank in just one week, while at least 75 Palestinian homes and structures were demolished. A relentless escalation of violence, dispossession, and destruction.

Behind every number is a shattered life.
Israel’s war on Gaza has left around 8,000 Palestinians amputees — 25% children, 12.5% women.
No prosthetic raw materials have entered Gaza since the genocide began. Doctors have provided just 135 prosthetic limbs for thousands in need.
