One of the best meals I ever had was sitting in the floor with some Egyptian traders from Aswan. It was flat bread and foul bean paste. One of the traders tried to sell me stuff but his cousin stopped him and we just had great conversation. Life can be simple and beautiful.

Boycott works. We don’t want livelihoods to collapse. But we want robust and bilateral negotiations for a full Israeli withdrawal from Gaza and a viable and fully functioning Palestinian state.

I’ve been a proud Patron of CLAPA for over 20 years.
My brother was born with a bilateral cleft lip and palate, and I saw first-hand how important it is for families affected by cleft to have the kind of support that @clapacommunity provides.

Attended the speech by the Amir of Qatar in Parliament yesterday. He emphasised how hard they’d tried to bring about a ceasefire in Gaza this year & referenced the ongoing heartbreaking images we continue to see.
