BREAKING: E1 Tender Open for Bidding

President @vonderleyen: You warned Israel not to proceed with E1 expansion. They heard you loud and clear and did the opposite. What will the EU do next? Lip service or act in line with international law for a change?

Any company profiting from human rights abuses has no place in our NHS.

But that's exactly what's happening.

Palantir's contract with the NHS could be up for review as early as this autumn. With enough pressure at both a local and national level, we can end this toxic partnership - but this can only happen by building strong campaigns in our communities.

Join a local 'No Palantir in our NHS' group and help make it happen.

No Palantir in our NHS.

Last week, more than 100 peaceful protestors were arrested under TERROR LAWS.

Our right to protest is one of the most effective tools we have to hold our leaders to account about the genocide in Gaza, the climate crisis and other vital human rights issues.

These arrests are yet another attack on freedom of speech. Share this video if you think that these extreme measures need to stop!

[Amnesty UK @AmnestyUK]

For the first time ever in our country's history, a barrister is facing contempt proceedings over the content of their closing speech. It is seriously concerning and entirely disproportionate.

Rajiv Menon KC is facing up to two years in prison for the way he defended his client.

Even though the case was adjourned on Friday - the threat isn't over. This is only a delay and not an end to the proceedings against Rajiv Menon.

Barristers cannot fearlessly defend their clients while worrying that doing so will get them sent to prison.

The judge in the trial of the Palestine Action defendants issued a series of orders tightly restricting what could and couldn’t be put to the jury, something that is happening more and more in protest cases.

This is part of an ever-rising clampdown on people coming together to demonstrate, one of the most effective tools we have to hold our leaders to account. Prosecuting a defence barrister for contempt of court would mark a new low in the attacks on our right to protest.

Since the ceasefire agreement in October, Israeli forces have continued to kill an average of four Palestinians per day in #Gaza. In total, more than 800 people have been killed, including at least 187 children.

[UNICEF @UNICEF]

UNICEF is outraged by the killing of two drivers of trucks contracted by UNICEF to provide clean water to families in the Gaza Strip.

The victims were killed by Israeli fire in an incident that took place early this morning at the Mansoura water filling point in northern Gaza. UNICEF extends our condolences to the families of the men killed.

[Amnesty UK @AmnestyUK]

The genocide against Palestinians in Gaza is ongoing.

We can’t stop talking about it.

The killing and detention of health workers is part of Israel's ongoing genocide in Gaza.

The detention of health workers is a tactic of Israel’s wider strategy to dismantle Gaza’s health system and commit genocide against Palestinians in Gaza.

@PHRIsrael

[Amnesty UK @AmnestyUK]

Israel is using the same deadly playbook it used in 2024 in Lebanon: killing dozens of health workers and devastating healthcare services with total impunity.

Since 2 March 2026, Israeli forces have been responsible for killing dozens of health workers and devastating healthcare services.

Hospitals, ambulances, and medical facilities are specifically protected under international humanitarian law.

Throwing out accusations without evidence does not justify treating doctors and paramedics as targets.

Deliberately striking medics performing humanitarian functions must be investigated as a war crime.

Between 2 March and 3 April 2026, Israeli forces attacked healthcare workers in Lebanon 92 times, killing 53 and injuring 137 people.

Protecting healthcare is not optional — it is a binding rule.

[Channel 4 Dispatches @C4Dispatches]

‘There was permission to kill 300 people as collateral damage.’

Israeli intelligence whistleblowers expose the ‘non-human’ targeting system in Gaza, where strikes are approved in minutes, as more than 70,000 have been killed in Gaza since October 7th.

CNN breakdown 🇮🇱 execution law:

‘Execution the default’
‘No right of appeal’
‘Executed in 90 days’
‘For Palestinians 🇵🇸 only’
‘Discriminatory’
‘Military courts in West Bank🇵🇸’
‘96% conviction rate through torture’

And still Starmer is silent

Ban 🇮🇱 money from 🇬🇧 politics now.

[TRT World @trtworld]

Six million.

That’s how many people Israel’s wars have forced from their homes in just two and a half years.

3M in Iran
2M in Gaza
1M in Lebanon

Experts say this isn’t incidental. It’s “demographic engineering”

[Democracy Now! @democracynow]

United Nations expert Francesca Albanese’s latest report warns that Israel is systematically torturing Palestinians on a scale that “suggests collective vengeance and destructive intent” and that “torture has effectively become state policy” since October 2023.

[B'Tselem בצלם بتسيلم @btselem]

While many countries are abolishing or reducing the use of the death penalty, Israel is doing the opposite, writing it into law. Israel’s Death Penalty Law institutionalizes and legalizes the state’s mechanism for executing Palestinians.

Since October 2023, Israel has killed at least 72,000 Palestinians in the Gaza Strip, and at least 1,050 Palestinians in the West Bank. During this time, more than 80 Palestinian prisoners have died in Israeli prisons, which have turned into a network of torture camps where prisoners are subjected to continuous abuse and violence.

The death penalty law adds another official killing mechanism to existing practices.

The mass incarceration of Palestinians is a feature of Israel’s apartheid regime. As of March 2026, about 9,500 Palestinians are held in inhumane conditions in Israeli prisons, roughly half of them under administrative detention or as “unlawful combatants,” without trial and with no ability to defend themselves.

Death penalty for Palestinians only:
The law is worded to apply to Palestinians only, and it is set to make the killing of Palestinians a normalized, common punitive tool through several mechanisms:

The law gives military courts no discretion. Military judges will be required to sentence Palestinians convicted of murder to death, except in “special circumstances.” There is no requirement for a unanimous decision. A simple majority will suffice, and avenues for appeal will be extremely limited.

Only Palestinians are tried in military courts. Their conviction rate is 96%, based largely on “confessions” extracted under duress and torture during interrogations.

The penalty, execution by hanging, must be carried out within 90 days of sentencing, with no possibility of pardon. A designated prison officer will execute the sentence.

The law, which enjoys broad public support in Israel, is expected to pass in the Knesset tomorrow, Monday, 30 March. The Israel Prison Service has already begun preparing designated execution facilities.

The death penalty is a total violation of the most basic human rights, primarily, the right to life. Israel enforces a comprehensive policy of killing and oppression against the Palestinian people in all the territories it controls. The Death Penalty Law gives Israel’s apartheid regime yet another tool for advancing that policy.

[Amnesty International USA @amnestyusa]

It’s been 456 days since Dr Hussam Abu Safiya, the director of Kamal Adwan Hospital in northern Gaza, was arbitrarily detained by Israeli forces.

He’s been held without charge or trial, and has been subjected to ill-treatment.

Israeli authorities must immediately and unconditionally release him and all Palestinians held in arbitrary detention.

Take action: https://t.co/1vnFV1hV4g

[Save the Children UK @savechildrenuk]

It's been reported that an Israeli court ruled Walid Ahmad, a Palestinian child who died while detained in an Israeli prison, was 'likely starved'. He was held for six months without charge.

Sadly, such ill-treatment is not unusual. It is unconscionable that any child should be treated this way.

❗ Content warning: child sexual violence and abuse

Palestinian children are the only children in the world to experience systematic prosecution in military courts. It’s an abusive, inhumane prosecution system, where children are being physically, emotionally and sexually abused, humiliated and starved in Israeli military detention.

The UK Government should publicly call for the release of all Palestinian children arbitrarily detained and call for an end to Israeli military authorities arresting, detaining and prosecuting children.

[Amnesty UK @AmnestyUK]

Ever heard of Palantir?

Here's why it matters:

Palantir is a US software company.

It specialises in data products, used widely by governments for surveillance, intelligence and military purposes.

In January 2024, Palantir signed a contract with the Israeli military to use its technology in support of “war-related missions.”

Palantir has a deep relationship with US law enforcement. It supplies ICE with tools that can be used to surveil and target migrants in the US.

Now, that same company is working at the heart of our NHS.

Palantir has already received £330 million of our money for its contract with our NHS England.

Healthworkers and patients have been ringing the alarm for years: this is not right.

What’s happening in Gaza is an ongoing genocide.

We shouldn’t have a company linked to human rights abuses have anything to do with our precious NHS.

Heard of Palantir?

Here’s Palantir’s contract with the NHS explained.

A company linked to the Israeli forces’ ongoing genocide of Palestinians in Gaza has NO place in our NHS. NHS trusts can do the right thing and refuse to use Palantir. The time is now. Link in bio to learn more.
