Three years ago, Hamas terrorists carried out the worst attack on Israel in its history, murdering 1,200 innocent people.
I offer my deep condolences to those who lost loved ones. I send my solidarity to the people of Israel on the anniversary of this terrible act.

We retain our long-standing presence in Jerusalem. My statement:

As co-chair of @LFPME we held an event at this year’s Labour Party Conference.
The room was full, thank you to everyone who attended.
Thank you to @Ed_Miliband, @LucyMPowell, @SDoughtyMP, @hzomlot for their speeches.

As Co-Chair of @LFPME, I welcome the Foreign Secretary’s announcement today.
We will not be bystanders to the further suffering of the Palestinian people. Settler expansion and occupation in the West Bank are a flagrant violation of international law and cannot go unchallenged.
Labour Friends of Palestine & the Middle East retweeted
Today, Foreign Secretary @Ed_Miliband will be making a statement on Israel and Palestine.
Watch live here from 13:00 BST:

Products from illegal Israeli settlements in #Palestine should not be on our shelves. I’m urging the UK Government to make sure this is the case. Treasury, Trade, FCDO & DEFRA all have a role in this. @LFPME @Caabu @Zaytoun_CIC @amnesty @coopuk

The latest UN IPC report is clear: Gaza continues to face crisis levels of food insecurity. Averting famine cannot be the benchmark for success.
Israel must end restrictions on humanitarian support and enable aid to enter Gaza at the scale needed.
ALT STATEMENT ON UN INTEGRATED FOOD SECURITY PHASE CLASSIFICATION REPORT This UN Integrated Food Security Phase Classification report shows that Gaza continues to face crisis levels of food insecurity, which are only projected to deteriorate. It is completely unacceptable that 1.2 million people are facing significant food shortages, with 90% of the population confined to under 30% of the Gaza Strip. Averting famine cannot be the benchmark for success. Israeli restrictions on aid and repeated displacement are driving disease, water scarcity and decimating health services. Humanitarian aid must never be used as a political tool. The UK will continue to support humanitarian organisations working on the ground and press Israel to enable aid and commercial goods to enter Gaza at the scale needed.

Labour’s initial response to the treatment of Gaza caused huge hurt. We got it wrong and I am sorry for that.

Important meeting today with Children Not Numbers who are doing vital work on the ground in Gaza.
The UK will continue to evacuate children with critical medical needs, supporting healthcare in Gaza and pushing Israel to allow vital healthcare supplies in.
Labour Friends of Palestine & the Middle East retweeted
Alongside international partners, the UK is pledging more support for @UNRWA to help Palestine refugees.
UNRWA is central to helping Gaza at the scale required. It must be able to operate safely.
Israel must lift restrictions and allow aid agencies to reach those in need.

Tonight I attended the @LFPME Summer Reception in Parliament with powerful speeches from @hzomlot, @YvetteCooperMP and @LucyMPowell and met students from Gaza we supported last year to take up their studies in the U.K. So glad to have played a part in making that happen. 🙏🏽

Good to be with so many friends and colleagues tonight at @LFPME.
The Labour Party’s commitment to justice, freedom and security for Palestinians is unwavering.
Labour Friends of Palestine & the Middle East retweeted
We are deeply concerned at the vast rise in violent Israeli settler attacks on Palestinians, and at settlement expansion, which forces Palestinians off their land.
The Israeli government itself is clear this is designed to prevent a 2 state solution ever being realised.

Together with almost 140 fellow Labour MPs, I have written to the Foreign Secretary to call for a ban on trade with illegal Israeli settlements. Our group includes every Labour select committee chair.
It’s time to be clear that settlements have no viable economic future

Israel’s military escalation in Lebanon has displaced civilians, destroyed infrastructure, and eroded space for diplomacy. It must end.
Hizballah must end attacks on Israel and disarm.
All parties must support negotiations towards a lasting political settlement.

Israel's military escalation in Lebanon has killed and displaced civilians, destroyed infrastructure, and eroded space for diplomacy. It must end.
Hizballah must end attacks on Israel and disarm.
All sides must respect the ceasefire and engage with negotiations in good faith.
Labour Friends of Palestine & the Middle East retweeted
Continued escalation in Lebanon is undermining diplomatic efforts and having an unacceptable impact on civilians. Israel's expansion of the conflict must stop.
Hizballah must end attacks on Israel and disarm. All sides should uphold the ceasefire and continue US-led talks.
Labour Friends of Palestine & the Middle East retweeted
Direct negotiations can pave the way to bring lasting security for Lebanon and Israel.
With international partners, the UK calls for the inclusion of Lebanon in regional de-escalation efforts.
All parties must work together for a lasting solution.
