Our Chair @SarahChampionMP wrote to the Foreign Secretary at the @FCDOGovUK, seeking reassurance that Official Development Assistance will be maintained at 0.3%. The response did not fill the Committee with confidence.

Israel's Finance Minister has ordered the eviction of a Palestinian village in the occupied West Bank.

Tough words are not enough. We need real action to stop this.

In Parliament’s Middle East debate, I called for widespread sanctions on Israel to help stop these war crimes.

Absolutely bloody brilliant.

The documentary that the BBC refused to air - Gaza: Doctors Under Attack - won a Bafta last night.

The documentary shows the targeting, detainment and torture of medics in Gaza by Israeli authorities. The decimation of Gaza’s healthcare system including the detention of healthcare workers is central to Israel’s ongoing genocide in Gaza.

Amnesty awarded Gaza: Doctors Under Attack at the Amnesty Media Awards last week. The work of everyone involved in making this documentary and fighting for it to be broadcast shows the importance of journalists willing to speak truth to power.

Put Apartheid out of our lives.

There are still significant gaps in what we know about the Government's new approach to international aid.

@FCDOGovUK must communicate what success looks like and how international partners will be involved - and rebuild the case for aid ⬇️

As if the loss of civilian lives isn’t enough, and the targeting of civil infrastructure unforgivable, this is simply heartbreaking. When will America and Israel be held to account?

Baroness @JennyChapman told us that the Official Development Assistance (ODA) is not about the UK buying influence, it's about alleviating poverty and stabilising countries.

GAZA. The so called peace plan is allowing Israel to "finish the job": 450 killed; 2,500 structures destroyed; lifesaving aid blocked.
The human rights movement will not allow those responsible to run away from justice. It is not matter of if. It's matter of when.
