Global Christian Leaders Call in Holy Week for Permanent Gaza Ceasefire - Churches for Middle East Peace - I have added my name together with ⁦John Inge⁩ and ⁦Rachel Treweek⁩ - standing in solidarity with all in the Holy Land who suffer cmep.org/march-2024-int…

I am glad that our call to halt UK arms exports to Israel - shared by other NGOs and Quakers in Britain - is gathering support amongst MPs. Peace will not come without pressure on all sides to uphold international law #Gaza theguardian.com/world/2024/mar…

An answered prayer but this important vote must be back with action, including from the U.K. to stop selling arms the Israeli government.

Let’s not forget that in excess of 32,000 people have been killed.

Children are already dying from malnutrition and disease.

We urgently need full humanitarian access. This is only achievable through an immediate and permanent #CeasefireNOW . (1/3)
