I’ve written to Keir Starmer and Yvette Cooper demanding urgent action to ensure the safety of the Global Sumud Flotilla. 52 boats carrying aid and peace activists to Gaza. The UK must act to assure their safety. Israel is committing a genocide. All eyes are on this flotilla.
Rt Hon Keir Starmer MP Prime Minister Rt Hon Yvette Cooper MP Foreign Secretary Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office 24th September, 2025   Dear Prime Minister and Foreign Secretary, I am writing to you with urgency regarding the Global Sumud Flotilla (GSF), which is currently attempting to bring desperately needed aid to Gaza. The flotilla is made up of 52 boats, carrying humanitarian supplies and peace activists determined to support civilians facing unimaginable suffering. Reports have already emerged of explosions, unidentified objects being dropped near the vessels, drones circling overhead, and communications being jammed. These are deeply concerning developments. We know from past experience that when Israel smears peace activists with unfounded claims of links to Hamas, it is often a precursor to violent attacks. The UK Government must make it absolutely clear that these boats, carrying only aid and peaceful activists, must be treated safely and in line with inte

#FreePalestine This is Renad from Gaza. What do you say to an 11-year-old girl who’s starving? To the girl who once dreamed of becoming a chef, of owning her own restaurant, but now can only dream of finding something to eat? I’m so sorry that the world has failed the children of Gaza. I am so deeply sorry. I will do everything I can to help my friend Renad achieve her dream of owning a restaurant one day. I pray for the day when I can walk in as her customer and eat her delicious food. And I pray for the day when this atrocity becomes a memory for her, not her reality. #gaza #msrachel

Stop war crimes against children. The killing of children is against international law and classified as a war crime. @UNICEF @UN #FreePalestine

"This silence is not just a diplomatic failure — it’s an utter moral failure." Green MPs call on the UK Government to publish its response and act in line with international law one year on from the ICJ's advisory opinion on the legal consequences of Israel’s actions.

Rima Hassan — a Member of the European Parliament, and crew member on the #Madleen — is now being held in solitary confinement by Israel. The UK and EU must urgently intervene to ensure that she and all other detained crew members are released immediately.

The #Madleen now sails just 165 nautical miles from #Gaza, a vessel of courage navigating hostile waters. As they draw nearer, we carry a revolutionary hope in our hearts that they will reach Gaza, undeterred by threats from the Israeli military to block their passage. From both a legal and moral standpoint, Israel has no right to intercept this vessel. The people of Gaza, under siege, starving, and facing the threat of annihilation, have the legal right to decide who enters their territories. Each participant aboard 'Madleen' stands not only for themselves, but for millions around the world demanding that a people's humanitarian sea corridor to Gaza be opened. As they draw closer, we will hear their voices of resistance, solidarity, and unshakable resolve. We are with them, every wave, every mile, every moment, until we reach Gaza and justice breaks through the blockade.

The Madleen, a UK-flagged aid ship heading to break the illegal siege on Gaza, has been threatened by the Israeli government. @GretaThunberg, @RimaHas & others are on board. The UK must act: defend the ship & crew or remain complicit in Israel’s blockade, aggression & genocide.

The Madleen’s Gaza Freedom Flotilla is an important solidarity initiative that will help to keep the spotlight on Israel’s illegal and suffocating blockade of the occupied Gaza Strip amidst its ongoing genocide. The Gaza Freedom Flotilla must be allowed to carry out its peaceful mission safely free from intimidation or attack. There can be no justification for blocking humanitarian aid to Gaza amidst catastrophic levels of hunger and suffering and one of the worst manmade humanitarian disasters in the world. Israeli authorities must immediately lift their unlawful blockade on Gaza, allow and resume the unhindered flow of humanitarian assistance and lifesaving supplies, and #StopTheGenocide.

Waiting for the hourly news bulletins and 70 different stories about Dr Alaa Al-Najaar’s nine children who were burned to death by Israel. Never has the hierarchy of death been so stark.

It is outrageous and morally reprehensible that it took the world nearly 80 days of broadcast starvation and cruelty amidst genocide to exert enough pressure on Israel to even slightly ease its total siege that has blocked the entry of all food, medicine, fuel and other vital goods since 2 March.

Let this be known by everyone: When Palestinians in Gaza share the numbers of those Israel murder every day, these are not numbers issued only by Gaza-run ministry of health or whatever you call it. These numbers are issued by families who lost their loved ones. Palestinians in Gaza are reporting on their own losses. They don’t need even a ministry or the ICRC or whatever to issue lists of murdered people. If you go and read Palestinians’ social media posts, you will find a memorial, one that is building up every hour.

'We risk becoming an island of strangers, not a nation that walks forward together.' Sir Keir Starmer announces measures which he says will help control the number of immigrants coming into the country to live and work.
