“This is first and foremost about humanity”. Ambassador @hzomlot spoke movingly of a conversation with the Foreign Secretary about their mothers, one the child of a Holocaust survivor, one a child of the Nakba, both wanting the same thing: peace.

As Co-Chair of @LFPME, I welcome the Foreign Secretary’s announcement today. We will not be bystanders to the further suffering of the Palestinian people. Settler expansion and occupation in the West Bank are a flagrant violation of international law and cannot go unchallenged.

Today, the Foreign Secretary gave practical meaning to the UK’s recognition of the State of Palestine, by outlining measures against actions that threaten that recognition and the viability of a two-state solution, which is essential to achieving a just and lasting peace. (5/6)

The decisive action taken by the UK government, alongside our allies, sends a clear message to the Israeli government that adherence to international law matters, that freedom and self-determination matter and that ‘Britain will not be silent in the face of injustice’. (Ends)

Under Bev’s leadership, Manchester City Council was among the first in the country to call for a ceasefire in Gaza. She has continued to support Palestinian communities affected by the devastation, and calling for stronger international action.

On 30 July, vote for a Mayor who leads with authenticity and principle, someone who stands by her values when it matters most. Tomorrow, vote @bevcraig for GMCA Mayor.

The latest UN IPC report is clear: Gaza continues to face crisis levels of food insecurity. Averting famine cannot be the benchmark for success. Israel must end restrictions on humanitarian support and enable aid to enter Gaza at the scale needed.
STATEMENT ON UN INTEGRATED FOOD SECURITY PHASE CLASSIFICATION REPORT This UN Integrated Food Security Phase Classification report shows that Gaza continues to face crisis levels of food insecurity, which are only projected to deteriorate. It is completely unacceptable that 1.2 million people are facing significant food shortages, with 90% of the population confined to under 30% of the Gaza Strip. Averting famine cannot be the benchmark for success. Israeli restrictions on aid and repeated displacement are driving disease, water scarcity and decimating health services. Humanitarian aid must never be used as a political tool. The UK will continue to support humanitarian organisations working on the ground and press Israel to enable aid and commercial goods to enter Gaza at the scale needed.
