Israel's UN membership under scrutiny for non-compliance with refugee return conditions
Dr Daud Abdullah, Director of Middle East Monitor, discusses a significant historical moment in the UN's relationship with Israel. Following the 1948 expulsions and Israel's declaration of independence, Israel's initial application to the UN was not considered, and a subsequent attempt in December was rejected by the Security Council. It wasn't until May 1949 that Israel was admitted as a UN member, conditional upon adherence to the charter and implementation of Resolution 194, which demanded the return of refugees. In stark contrast to these conditions, Dr. Abdullah highlights that Palestinians in Gaza are being coerced into the southern part of the enclave, with open threats of expulsion to Sinai by Israeli officials. He argues that this violates international conventions and morality, suggesting it's time for the global community to reevaluate Israel's UN membership and consider suspension for non-compliance with membership terms. Stay tuned for insightful revelations in our latest MEMO Insights episode soon.

MEMO Interviews: Will Brits fighting for Israel be charged with war crimes?
MEMO speaks to British lawyer Ilora Choudhury about the legality of Britons going to fight with the Israeli army in Gaza, and whether they could be implicated in war crimes on their return to the UK. Choudhury, senior counsel at the International Centre of Justice for Palestinians, sent a letter to the British Foreign Office requesting information on the numbers of British citizens currently fighting with Israel in Gaza, and whether it plans to issue legal guidance for those travelling to the Middle East to fight, like it did with Ukraine in 2022.

We are your soldiers: How Egypt’s Gamal Abdel Nasser remade the Arab world
‘Seven decades since his coup, and more than half a century since his death, the Arab peoples have scarcely begun to shake off the legacy of “Father” Gamal Abdel Nasser,’ as the sweeping regional history of Egypt’s former president concludes. Nasser was certainly an iconic figure whose persona shaped modern Egypt, but his influence went well beyond his country and extended across the Arab world, as well as across Africa. The history of Nasserism as non-Egyptians experienced it, is not fully appreciated enough and Alex Rowell’s new book We Are Your Soldiers: How Egypt’s Gamal Abdel Nasser Remade the Arab World ambitiously aims to give us a taste of what that history looks like. While Nasser is not the only […]
