Horrifying testimonies of unimaginable horrors from Medical Aid for Palestinians’s Melanie Ward MP & surgeon Khaled Dawas, who told MPs APPG on Palestine about their recent visits to Gaza. “They [people in Gaza] know that everyone knows” what is happening to Palestinians, but nothing changes.

Tough for Husam Zomlot to brief APPG on Palestine today, a man born in Rafah. It is a catastrophe on the ground. Rightly he calls for an arms embargo & sanctions.


I have granted the following urgent question in the UK House of Commons today. From Andy McDonald MP for Middlesbrough & Thornaby East to ask David Lammy, Secretary of State Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office, if he will make a statement on the situation in Israel and the Occupied Palestinian Territories.
