MAP welcomes the announcement of an agreement between Israel and Hamas to suspend hostilities in Gaza.
It marks the beginning, not the end, of efforts to restore health, dignity and freedom to the Palestinian people.

3 more people have drowned in the Channel.
I'll be on Sky News in a moment to talk about it. Again.
What can I say to convince someone that we can have a policy of life at the border, instead of one of always more death?

The Caesar Files. Barrel bombs. Chemical weapons. Enforced disappearances. Torture. Starvation sieges. Massacres. Exile. Forced displacement.
#Syria has liberated itself and humanity from this grotesquely ugly chapter of human history, the rule of Assad.
Let there be justice.

Today we show solidarity in the workplace with the horrendous situation in Gaza.
Thousands of Palestinians - mainly women and children - have been killed by Israeli military operations and many more are injured.
We need an immediate and permanent ceasefire, an end to the humanitarian crisis and respect for international law.

Today marks a day of mourning for those whose loved ones were killed and abducted in Israel by Hamas and other armed groups on 7th October 2023.
This day also marks the start of the Israeli forces’ onslaught in Gaza that has killed tens of thousands and triggered an unprecedented humanitarian catastrophe.

As Israeli airstrikes continue in Lebanon, JRS is doing everything it can to support those affected. Michael Petro, Project Director for the JRS migrant centre, explains how the centre has become a refuge for displaced families from all over the country.

The Brook House Inquiry is difficult reading. It catalogues violence, racism & abuse of power.
It shouldn’t matter your opinion on immigration- no one should accept private detention camps becoming places of impunity & abuse.
All recommendations must be enacted in full #r4today

The UK government has announced it is suspending some arms sales to Israel.
The decision is welcome — but it doesn’t go far enough. More in @astroehlein's Daily Brief:

40,000. Another milestone that should never have been reached.
How many more lives will be lost to starvation, disease and airstrikes before our political leaders take all necessary steps in support of a just and lasting peace?
#Gaza #CeasefireNOW
ALT A boy sits in front of a building destroyed by a missile strike in Gaza City . Text over the image reads: "40,000 Palestinians have been killed. #CeasefireNOW" with numbers "10,000" "20,000" and "30,000" crossed out indicating rising death tolls.

As rumours spread again, a reminder that it is the military as an institution which is the problem, not the current leader. There are no reformers waiting in the wings.

This is an important acknowledgment of the fear felt: “To those who feel targeted because of the colour of your skin or your faith - I know how frightening this must be. I want you to know that this violent mob do not represent our country- and we will bring them to justice.”

They deserve to watch their children grow up in peace.

Time has run out to protect children in #Rafah.
The looming ground assault forcing hundreds of thousands to flee and impeding aid efforts in Gaza’s ‘last refuge’.
The UK government must do everything in its power to stop the ground assault happening, thousands of young lives depend on it.
