Jared Kushner's Affinity Partners and Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund fuel Israel's arms sector. Those arms go on to kill Palestinians in Gaza amid Israel's genocide, writes @sarahleah1.bsky.social.

5/ DAWN’s full statement on the U.S.'s imposition of sanctions on the entire International Criminal Court:

4/ "The EU has a tool built exactly for when rogue states use sanctions to further political aims: a blocking statute that can shield the Court and Europeans from US sanctions. If states won't act now to protect the Court as they have repeatedly vowed to do, then when?" said DAWN's Isabelle Hayslip.

3/ "In applying tools reserved for the most serious criminals to the world's only permanent international court, the U.S. is claiming the power to jail for 20 years Americans who represent a victim, submit evidence, or handle payroll for the Court," said Raed Jarrar, DAWN's Advocacy Director.

2/ "By sanctioning the entire ICC, the Trump administration has taken a sledgehammer to the most important development in international justice in half a century," said DAWN's Omar Shakir. "U.S. sanctions threaten to shut the last viable road to justice for millions of victims of serious crimes."

1/ In response to the Trump administration's imposition of new institutional sanctions against the entire the International Criminal Court, DAWN issues the following statement:

Palestinians with physical disabilities in Gaza are struggling to deal with an environment that's increasingly difficult to navigate. As Israel's genocide there continues, they face pressing questions about movement and survival, Ghada al-Rozzi writes from Gaza.

7/ DAWN and the American-Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee's full statement on ending U.S. complicity in Israeli state-backed settler violence:

6/ "The attacks on Americans are the tip of the iceberg," said Deyar Jamil at ADC. "For every U.S. citizen beaten on a West Bank road, there are hundreds of Palestinians attacked, outside of the headlines ... the U.S. is arming, funding and shielding the army facilitating the attacks."

5/ "Settlers attacking Palestinians may well be hooligans, as Huckabee called them, but it's the Israeli government giving the hooligans arms and protection," said Raed Jarrar at DAWN. "Washington cannot fund the army and pretend the militia it recruits is somebody else's problem."

4/ "An Israeli police officer told a US citizen his passport did not count because he is Palestinian, and the U.S. Embassy proved him right," said ADC's Jenin Younes. "Our government is supposed to treat all American citizens equally, but routinely disregards protections for Palestinian Americans."

3/ "When there is no consequence after foreign state-backed militias attack an American, it sends the message that this administration values its ties to a repressive allied government over the safety and welfare of its own citizens," said DAWN's Omar Shakir.

2/ Settler attacks are on pace to set record-highs this year and are increasingly harming Palestinian Americans, including Samed Khdair, a 56-year-old Mississippi businessman beaten by Israeli settlers—who also spit on and stole his passport—as Israeli soldiers looked on.

1/ US officials should end support to Israel that enables settler violence in the occupied West Bank if they're sincere about stopping rising violent attacks on Palestinians and protecting US citizens, increasingly among their victims, said DAWN and American-Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee (ADC).
