- This week over 60 Labour MPs signed a joint letter to the Foreign Secretary, with many other MPs continuing to add their name or sending the same letter privately. Full letter and signatories here 👇
- As a large group of Labour MPs, this is something we have called on the govt to act upon before Palestine ceases to exist. We wholeheartedly support calls in this letter & from regional/national leads calling for recognition of the State of Palestine. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/j...
- The UK should not be training IDF personnel on UK-based training courses. Israeli forces have been engaged in multiple acts of likely atrocity crimes, with inexplicable civilian, journalist, & aid worker casualties, while also making routes to vital aid deadly combat zones. [1/3]
- We welcome the govt’s announcement of coordinated and targeted sanctions against extremist Israeli ministers. We must now go further to affect change by immediately recognising the State of Palestine & galvanising international partners to do the same. Our full statement ⬇️ /🧵
- Reposted by Labour Friends of Palestine and the Middle EastIt is very welcome to see the government today announce sanctions on extremist Israeli ministers Bezalel Smotrich and Itamar Ben-Gvir, whose calling for the conquest of Gaza and expansion of West Bank settlements is nothing short than a call to ethnic cleansing.
