Our local election results were remarkable given the political landscape and I’m proud of the team I led, their effort, and their commitment to our neighbours. We offered unity, ambition and leadership against division and spoke to 1000s across the whole of Redbridge. 1/2

Great result for Redbridge, we held the Council🌹

Well done to all the local candidates (and now councillors!) for your hard work and dedication to the community.

In Redbridge, we have done a lot of good work but I know we have a lot more to do. I look forward to working with the council to improve our area in the coming months and years ahead.

Amazing session in chadwell this morning with @Jas_Athwal and Ganesh Kuppala with Cllr Luthfa Rahman

[Jas Athwal MP @Jas_Athwal]

On Eid, one of the most important days in the Muslim calendar, access to the Al-Aqsa Mosque compound in East Jerusalem has been restricted by Israeli authorities, with many Palestinians prevented from entering and forced to pray outside.

Reports also indicate restrictions affecting Christian worshippers, including access to the Church of the Holy Sepulchre in the Old City.

Emerging reports this morning say Israeli forces confronted worshippers outside the Old City, with tear gas reportedly used against those gathered for prayer. These developments raise concerns that heightened security measures are further restricting freedom of worship and movement for Palestinians.

I raised the situation at Al-Aqsa in Parliament yesterday, highlighting ongoing concerns about restrictions even following the ceasefire.

The Israeli government should uphold international law, ensure freedom of worship, and engage in meaningful diplomacy to support a just and lasting peace.
