  2. International ag'ts with Israel include clauses around human rights. If Israel does go ahead to fully occupy Gaza should governments suspend/terminate all agreements - including science and research ?

    Do UK universities undertake any joint research w/ Israeli unis that could have military use ?

  3. It's important that @itvnews.bsky.social was able to film the devastation in Gaza, but I'd note the buildings identified as the Turkish Hospital in their video at the 1:19 timestamp is incorrect.

    The hospital is nearby at 31.4778, 34.4162. The buildings they highlight are at 31.4769, 34.4081.

    Annotated SkySat satellite imagery from Planet Labs from August 1 2025 showing northern Al-Zahraa, a city in northern Gaza that has mostly been destroyed by the IDF. The annotation shows the Turkish-Palestinian Friendship Hospital and an inset image from the ITV News report showing a set of destroyed buildings to the west.
