- America just lost a loving, visionary community leader, Ish Ahmed. Ish helped create inclusive institutions lifting up uncountable lives. A mentor to many, i was blessed to have met him decades ago. Rest in peace/power. May he always be remembered for your love & vision. x.com/deadlinedetr...
- Imagine the horror of seeing your city destroyed, fleeing for safety+then being unable to register your child’s birth—blocking your return. Yes, Israel controls Palestinian population registry—deciding legal status, family reunification+Gaza entry/exit. Whatever word you have for that, it's ugly.
- Trump wants to treat ultra-wealthy foreigners better than Americans! Under the proposed Trump “Platinum Card,” wealthy foreign nationals could live most of year in the U.S. while paying NO U.S. tax on foreign income. American citizens? Still taxed on worldwide income—forever.
- Israeli supreme Court continues to deny access for international journalist to Gaza. Freedom--of speech, of the press--are among the most fundamental American values. Americans can/should insist upon Freedom of the Press everywhere we have influence including Israel/Palestine/Gaza.
- Palestinian Leadership takes bold step towards badly needed elections. Requires candidates to commit to vision of two-state Israel/Palestine coexistence. If only Israeli law required the same! But that would mean majority of current Israeli parliament couldn't run for office!

- 1) Eight Key Muslim-majority countries—Egypt, Jordan, Pakistan, Qatar, Saudi Araiba, Türkiye, UAE—issuing a JOINT statement on Trump’s “Board of Peace” is a powerful—and I argue—smart response. Here’s why.
- 2) What it does: (i) Re-grounds effort in international law. (i) Creates Solidarity. Joining together as a group is more powerful than acting alone and signals they will negotiate as a block—possibly leave as a block. (iii) Avoids rejecting/angering Trump.

- 1- Trump’s “Board of Peace” to be rolled out this week in Davos is not “peace architecture.” It’s “control architecture” that centralizes power, dilutes legitimacy, and makes a long-term sustainable peace harder. Isn’t just about Gaza, it’s about team Trump’s approach to world.🧵
- - Not multilateralism—Trump retains lifetime veto. “1 state, 1 vote” is cosmetic if every decision still needs the Chairman Trump’s approval. That’s centralized control, not rules-based governance. (He also solely gets to appoint his own successor).
