Glad to see @Keir_Starmer calling out Netanyahu’s disgraceful comments and reiterating the inalienable right of Palestinian statehood

🧵 In the week since our last statement, we have seen the bombing of a refugee camp and UN schools, UNRWA shelters damaged, the killing of journalists and UN staff, and now the bombing of ambulances outside Al-Shifa hospital. (1/17)

11 years ago senior UK lawyers reported that Israel’s treatment of Palestinian child prisoners breaks international humanitarian law- eg by illegally removing them to prisons in Israel. It’s still going on. Will PM Sunak raise this when he hosts PM Netanyahu at Downing St? 1/3

The restoration of @UNRWA funding has been central to LFPME’s work for months. We welcome this announcement and are pleased to see Labour commitments being honoured. Thank you to all our MPs, the wider advocacy movement, & @DavidLammy for working with us to make this happen 👏

The government has ended the funding pause on @UNRWA - effective immediately. This begins with £21m to support the humanitarian response in Gaza, provide essential services for refugees across the region, and alleviate the suffering of civilians. Read more ➡️

An Israeli attack on Rafah would be catastrophic. People in Gaza have nowhere safe to go. Famine is spreading, children are starving, and tens of thousands have already been killed. 🛑 Stop the attack on Rafah 🛑 #CeasefireNOW

🧵 We are deeply appalled by the events that transpired at Al Aqsa in occupied East Jerusalem overnight. These were characterised by the horrifying sight of worshippers being subjected to assaults by Israeli forces during the holy month of Ramadan. [1/5]
