📚This week’s reading list starts with opportunity the U.S. must seize to de-escalate war in Gaza after the killing of Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar. Washington must move to halt Israel’s campaign in the north of Gaza & ensure regular flow of aid.  1/11 crisisgroup.org/middle-east-no…

Israeli army shot our colleague, @AJArabic cameraman Fadi Al Wahidi while working in northern Gaza. He’s currently in critical condition. The moment I saw these images, I remembered my colleague and dear friend Shireen Abu Akleh laying same way on the ground after she was shot…
