Thomas J. Barrack Jr. is not a diplomat by training, nor an academic specialist in Middle Eastern affairs. He is a billionaire real-estate investor, founder of Colony Capital, longtime confidant of Donald J. Trump, and one of the architects behind the Trump Administration’s Middle East economic agenda during its first term. In Washington and Riyadh circles he is often described as a bridge-builder between American capital and Gulf monarchies, a man who speaks the language of both high finance and regional power.

What happens in Gaza doesn't stay in Gaza. We've witnessed two full years of the most brutal tactics imaginable bent on the complete annihilation of over 2 million people. And now the wolves are on our own doorstep. Our rights are being systematically stripped away by the same people who brought us a genocide.

WASHINGTON, D.C. – The Green Party of the United States has endorsed the Global Sumud Flotilla, an international grassroots effort working to break the illegal siege on Gaza and deliver aid to the Palestinian people, in solidarity with their struggle for liberation.
The flotilla, which includes a U.S. delegation, is a direct action embodying the very values the Green Party stands for: resistance to militarism, international solidarity, and grassroots courage in the face of oppression. Delegates are risking their safety to challenge Israel’s blockade of Gaza, which has trapped over two million Palestinians in conditions described by human rights organizations as an open-air prison. The Independent International Commission of Inquiry on the Occupied Palestinian Territory set up by the UN Human Rights Council in 2021 has just concluded that Israel has committed genocide against Palestinians in Gaza.
