A helpful and refreshing article. Looks ahead to the ethical, law-based reconstruction that the Gazan people deserve after 80 years of suffering.

❝ As the US and its allies lead a sweeping assault on the global legal order to shield the Israeli regime from accountability for genocide, international outrage has sparked an extraordinary wave of pro-Palestine solidarity and organizing. ❞

On the contrary, we stand in full and unequivocal solidarity with them as they continue to carry out essential work in the face of abject horror. (7/7)

Importantly, our primary goal throughout this process was to compel the FDFA to correct the record. In doing so, we underscore that this was never an effort to distance ourselves from the other two referenced Palestinian organizations that continue to bear the brunt of this political attack. (6/7)
Amid unprecedented violence against Palestinians, we have spent over a year redirecting critical time, legal resources, and institutional energy to countering misinformation—time that should be squarely focused on urgent political realities on the ground. (5/7)
These allegations emerged in the context of an FDFA-led investigation into 11 Palestinian and Israeli human rights organizations at the outset of Israel’s genocide in Gaza. (4/7)
While this correction is necessary, it does not undo the harm caused by the FDFA’s initial misinformation—both to our organization and to the broader Palestinian human rights sector. (3/7)
As a result of this process, the FDFA has quietly amended its statements, removing all references to Al-Shabaka from the list of organizations it had previously claimed were subject to contract termination. (2/7)
🧵After over 16 months of engagement, we welcome the Swiss Federal Department of Foreign Affairs' (FDFA) decision to correct its public communications and remove any implication that the Swiss government ended its contract with Al-Shabaka as part of its 2023 investigation. (1/7)
“When we are crafting a design strategy, we have to ask ourselves: how much of that is about their survival? Is that sufficient? How much of this do we foresee helping a future free Gaza or free Palestine? And how much of this is actually just normalizing colonization & occupation?”
- Dena Qaddumi
Al-Shabaka policy analyst Dena Qaddumi recently joined our policy lab, discussing the #GazaGenocide, the January ceasefire and reconstruction after the genocide.

"Far-right Republican leaders unapologetically wield authoritarian tactics—not only to silence advocates for Palestinian rights but to advance a broader agenda of eroding civil liberties and targeting dissent."

"Project Esther is more than just a desperate attempt to salvage a crumbling Zionist narrative—it is part of a broader authoritarian shift in US politics."

NEW!
This policy brief situates #ProjectEsther within the broader bipartisan crackdown on Palestine advocacy—a consequence of the Zionist movement’s failure to win the argument in the public sphere.

"The notion of 'building back better'—a prominent concept in post-disaster situations—is unattainable in a context where the Israeli regime can unleash destruction at any moment."
- Al-Shabaka policy analyst Dena Qaddumi al-shabaka.org/roundtables/...
One of the most informative & timely episodes we worked on.
We keep hearing about reconstruction plans & initiatives but how much do we really know about them & their feasibility as the #gazagenocide continues w/ complete impunity.
Abed’s analysis was food for thought
Gaza’s reconstruction unfolds under immense challenges, shaped by the enduring impact of Israeli warfare and the structural constraints of an ongoing genocide and blockade.

"Understanding Palestinian liberation, therefore, requires situating it within this broader regional context. Decolonization in Palestine cannot be disentangled from the decolonization of the region."

Reminder that students are protesting university complicity on their campuses
Our institutions are profiting off of genocide, while our government funds it & supplies the bombs for it
Every educational institution in Gaza has been impacted, most have been completely destroyed
Yesterday, Mahmoud Khalil, a US permanent resident abducted by ICE last week, shared a powerful public statement that he dictated over the phone to his legal team.
