6 months since Hamas' terror attacks of 7 October, we remember all civilians, Israeli & Palestinian, who have been killed in this shocking conflict; the grief and suffering is heartbreaking.

A life affirming friend, Ray Lewis was a remarkable man who refused to conform. He dedicated his life to saving boys that everyone else had written off. And he made my life all the better for knowing him. RIP.

Nearly half are under 18 years old.

Thank you to the brave medical staff for their tireless work to treat some of the most vulnerable.

And a number supported him, including me.

The UK has long been calling for an immediate humanitarian pause leading to a sustainable ceasefire without a return to destruction, fighting and loss of life, as the fastest way to get hostages out and aid in.

The United Nations Security Council has just voted to advance that goal.

Grateful to David Cameron for such clarity in his response to my letter. He confirms, contrary to some claims:

- The UN has NOT requested the Kerem Shalom crossing be closed on Saturdays. Israel closes it due to the Sabbath.

- Aid not getting into Gaza due to “arbitrary…

We met Yotam on our parliamentary delegation to Israel and the OPTs. Both his parents were killed by Hamas on October 7th. We visited his parents home, which was left in ruins. A harrowing experience.
