A top UN official said he does not believe that Israel will ever agree to a two-state solution. Instead, he said he supports equality for all in Gaza and Israel:

Update: Another U.S. State Department official has resigned. Josh Paul told Democracy Now that the U.S. is providing weapons to Israel that are being used to “massacre civilians” in Gaza. He also said that State Department leadership is not interested in hearing from staff who have expertise with Israel and Gaza if they have opinions and information that differ from that of the president.

Until recently, @CraigMokhiber was a top U.N. official working on human rights. He just left his post with a scathing resignation letter blasting U.N. and Western complicity in Israeli abuses.
