This morning’s news of a deal being reached for the first phase of a ceasefire in Gaza is a moment of hope at a time when endless violence felt inevitable.

Two years on from the horrific terror attacks of 7th October that resulted in the largest killing of Jewish people since the Holocaust, renewed focus must be placed on peace in the Middle East.

We are sickened by the antisemitic terrorist attack on a synagogue in Crumpsall this morning.
We send our condolences to the loved ones of those killed. We are also sending our thoughts and support to Jewish communities here in the UK. [1/4]

My thoughts are with the victims of the horrendous attack in Crumpsall today, and the whole Jewish community in Manchester and across the UK on Judaism's holiest day, Yom Kippur.
There must never be any place for this sickening violence in our country.

Good to join so many colleagues with Ambassador of Palestine, Husam Zomlot to commemorate recognition of Palestine, something I’ve long supported. Great to see so much support of @lfpme.bsky.social at this important moment.

I’m incredibly sad to see my friend Angela Rayner leave government.
We can’t now risk losing touch with who we are and who our party was founded to serve.
Whatever comes next, the Labour Party must speak to, deliver for and unite the country.
That’s what people asked us to do last year.

#Netanyahu’s blockade and weaponisation of starvation have plunged #Gaza into #famine.
The Israeli Government, which continues to deny the #starvation that exists in the very territory it seeks to #occupy, must bring to an end the horrors unfolding before our eyes.

55,000 pregnant women face starvation by this time next year unless more aid gets into Gaza now. Yet this man-made famine continues as the Israeli military blocks aid access.
The UK must use sanctions and every diplomatic avenue to end the Israeli government's starvation of Gaza.

As #famine in #Gaza is officially declared by the UN, this man-made disaster must spur humanity into action.
With intolerable starvation, we need immediate ceasefire, unhindered aid access, end to occupation and settlements, and #Palestine recognition.

Calls to delay recognition until after negotiations serve only to entrench the status quo, granting the occupying power, Israel, an effective veto over Palestinian rights.
