"International law is clear: Israeli settlements in the West Bank are illegal." Meanwhile, the UK is clear: there will be no consequences. Sanctions now.

I have written to Andy Burnham to ask whether he would establish an independent public inquiry into the British government’s complicity in genocide.

Girls learning about their rights is cool 💅 Our partner in Sierra Leone, Advocacy Movement Network (AMNET), trains school girls to deliver assemblies to their peers about their rights 💛

Hi #CliffFest!!

@YvetteCooperMP @SarahChampionMP You mean illegal land grabs not ‘egregious’ #SettlerColonialism

The E1 settlement plans in the West Bank are egregious.   With international partners, we are clear: these settlements  are illegal and threaten a viable Palestinian state.   gov.uk/government/new…

@FCDOGovUK @YvetteCooperMP It hasn't 'collapsed' it's been targetted and destroyed by #Israel #WarCrimes

Gaza’s healthcare system has collapsed. 90% of water and sanitation is destroyed. The UK will keep pushing for access to aid and backing humanitarian partners on the ground. Foreign Secretary @YvetteCooperMP's remarks at the Global Partnerships Conference this week ⬇️

Israel can bomb hospitals in Lebanon without a peep from Western media.

"Netanyahu was dismayed not by Ben Gvir’s actions, but the fact he filmed and broadcasted them to appeal to his electorate ahead of the upcoming elections. Netanyahu himself, like Ben Gvir, called the members of the Gaza flotilla terrorist supporters. The term terrorist has now been used to characterize the entire Palestinian population, UN personnel, humanitarian personnel, activists from around the globe. Its ever expanding grasp allows to dehumanize, demonize and kill and harm anyone."

No nation, no society, and no international order can call itself just and humane if it measures its success solely by power or prosperity while neglecting those who live at the margins. Indeed, Christ’s love for the least and the forgotten compels us to reject every form of selfishness that leaves the poor and the vulnerable invisible.

ICC-wanted Benjamin Netanyahu, Itamar Ben-Gvir and Bezalel Smotrich are not exceptions: the machinery of apartheid and its crimes runs far deeper than a few ostentatious, unapologetic perpetrators. May justice come soon.

"Either we proclaim that Palestinian civilians are lesser civilians, lesser human beings, not entitled to the same protection, or we proclaim that the rules do not apply to Israel, and accept that Palestine becomes the ground zero for the death of international law-based order. A resolute action is needed to end the impunity and the crimes it enables, to save Palestinians, but also save the prospect of freedom, justice and peace for all in our region and beyond."

@YvetteCooperMP And yet the #GazaGenocide‌ is OK. stop being ‘appalled’ and act! #StopArmingIsrael #EndTrade

I am truly appalled at the video posted by Israeli Cabinet Minister Ben-Gvir taunting those involved in the Global Sumud Flotilla. This violates the most basic standards of respect and dignity in the way people should be treated. We are in touch with the families of a number of British nationals involved to provide them with consular support. We have demanded an explanation from the Israeli authorities and made clear their obligations to protect the rights of our citizens and all those involved.

@BBCWorld But no action against #Israel for illegal action in International Waters! @YvetteCooperMP ? #StopArmingIsrael #EndIsraeliTrade

Can you imagine the terror and horror Israel inflicts on Palestinian children, women, and men in detention centers when the cameras are away? This is Israeli terrorism.

Opportunity for #GPC to recognise power of faith actors with key assets - trust, authenticity, & relationships. Investing properly in faith actors - trust them, right resources in their hands, decision making power with them. Shazia @IslamicReliefUK GPC side event
