“Last week, I flew back to New York from Palestine where I spent the last two months. Leaving my family and friends during this uncertain time is one of the hardest things I’ve ever had to do. Despite all the anxiety, my grandmother was worried about only one thing before I left: to make sure I had room in my luggage for her homemade za’atar and the sage she picked by our house. Since I can remember, my grandmother’s first question when we landed back in the United States has been about how her gifts from the land fared on the journey. She wants to make sure that I bring back a piece of the land when I leave Palestine. “

The proposal was labeled ‘The Deal of the Century’ because it was supposed to offer an even-handed and just solution to one of the world’s most intractable conflicts.

On Friday 14 February, the Australian Government filed a request to intervene in proceedings at the ICC, arguing that the court has no jurisdiction to investigate and prosecute grave crimes in Palestine.”
