On Sunday, @Lifschitz_sha will address our conference alongside @AdamWagner1 and @adam_rose who act for the families of British-linked hostages.
Both of Sharone’s parents were kidnapped on 7th October. Her father Oded is still held hostage by Hamas.

The @NUJofficial is meant to be a politically neutral organisation.
This is why my Jewish friends have left it and joined @the_baj.
There is an elderly journalist and peace activist called Oded Lifschitz still being held captive in Gaza by the guys the journalist union wants us to larp as. He’s 84.
He used to drive to the Gaza border and take sick kids for specialist treatment in Israel, then drive them back to the border.
He’s still a hostage.
I want a ceasefire. Hamas is refusing to participate in talks.
Today marks 400 days since 251 loved ones were taken hostage by Hamas in Gaza, starting this terrible war.
101 people children, women and men are still being held there against their will.

I don’t often post here, but do follow this if you want to keep up to date with the work we are doing for the British and closely connected hostages, now held for over 400 days.
Today marks 400 days since the atrocities of October 7th. There are still 101 hostages held in captivity in Gaza, five of whom are British or have British family. Our message to the UK Government is clear. They must do everything to secure their release. Now.

On 30 September 2024, Adam Wagner (@AdamWagner1) accompanied his clients, all of whom are family members of hostages of Hamas with close British connections, on a delegation to London.
They had a private meeting with the Prime Minister Keir Starmer and Foreign Secretary David Lammy at No. 10 Downing Street. This was followed by a memorial reception at No. 10 to commemorate the anniversary of the 7th October 2024 terrorist attacks. The families also held a private meeting with the Qatari Ambassador to the UK.
Adam acts pro bono for a number of families of hostages with close British connections, instructed by Adam Rose (@adam_rose) at @Mishcon_de_Reya.

This evening in Jerusalem, the UK’s new Foreign Secretary, @DavidLammy met with the families of the British hostages and those closely connected to the UK.
Mr Lammy committed the UK Government to be involved in a process with all the relevant parties to #BringThemHome.
Today is the International day for the Elimination of Sexual Violence in Conflict. But too many women’s organisations were silent after October 7
I write about this is the @JewishChron.

“Ada, who turned 75 while held hostage by those she describes as “Hamas terrorists”, was finally freed 53 days later.”
@BBCNews has previously been forced to admit to @BoardofDeputies that Hamas is a terrorist organisation https://t.co/jgIYsAsknk
When I started at UJS, I could not have predicted Jewish students facing the worst antisemitism crisis on campus in a generation.
These challenges aren’t going away anytime soon. Please consider supporting UJS’ vital work this weekend:

Whatever happens tonight, here’s our winner of #Eurovision2024.
Booed during performances, advised to stay in her hotel room for her safety, escorted by a motorcade bigger than you’d see for a US President.
Tonight she sang beautifully. With grace and strength.

The family of British-Israeli hostage Nadav Popplewell requests that the recently released Hamas video not be published or used.
The Families Forum stated: Every sign of life received from the hostages held by Hamas is another cry of distress to the Israeli government and its leaders. We don't have a moment to spare! You must strive to implement a deal that will bring them all back today - the living to rehabilitation and the murdered to burial. #bringthemhomenow
Hamas has posted another video of a hostage in #Gaza - in just ten seconds Nadav Popplewell gives his name - there is a bruise in his right eye - his mother was also abducted but later freed- his brother was killed on October 7
