In a difficult and dangerous world, a decade on from Brexit, there is a risk that Britain loses the confidence to lead and stand up for its values.

I’m not prepared to let that happen. It is more important than ever that Britain stands for something.

We have called for years for a two-state solution in the Middle East, but we must recognise that those words are meaningless unless we back them up with action.

For too long, we have been hesitant to act, fearful of being accused of being anti-Israel.

Today we are announcing carefully judged, targeted steps that are not aimed at the Israeli people, but at the unacceptable policies of the current Israeli government.

The suffering of the Palestinian people is a scar on the conscience of the world. Innocent Palestinians, including children, continue to be killed in Gaza. And there is still a humanitarian crisis, with far too little aid getting in.

The scale of destruction is hard to comprehend. More than 70,000 people lie dead - at least 20,000 of them children. Families and communities have been torn apart. Millions displaced. And the population of Gaza is now penned into just one third of the territory.

I know that people across the UK feel very deeply about this issue - and so do I.

Before I became Prime Minister, I said our country’s response had been too slow and simply not good enough. That’s why I committed to changing the government’s approach.

I will not stand by as the horrific suffering continues to grow and the prospect of a two-state solution - the best hope for peace and stability in the region - comes under attack.

More settlements have been approved under the four years of this Israeli government than in the previous 20 years. The UN has reported more than 1,500 incidents of settler violence so far this year, aimed at driving out Palestinians. And the situation is growing worse, fast.

The Israeli government has now approved 104 new settlements since it took office in December 2022, and ahead of the October elections in Israel, it is allowing tenders for the construction of the E1 mega settlement to go ahead. This would cut a swathe through the heart of the West Bank - snuffing out the hope of realising a two-state solution. It cannot be allowed to happen.

That’s why we are announcing a new package of tough measures to put pressure on the Israeli government:

First, we will ban the trade in goods with illegal settlements in Palestine.

Second, we have formally changed the view of the British government to say for the first time that the Israeli occupation of Palestinian territory is unlawful - independent of, but in line with, the conclusion of the international court of justice.

And third, we will sanction individuals and companies that support, facilitate or profit from illegal settlements. That includes any businesses or investors that take part in the construction of the E1 settlement.

In addition, we are announcing a new package of desperately needed humanitarian aid to Gaza.

We are taking these steps because it is the right thing to do.

I have condemned the monstrous terrorist attack on Israel on 7 October 2023 in the strongest possible terms - and continue to condemn Hamas. However, it does not justify the Israeli government’s actions in Gaza or the West Bank.

The measures we are taking are about targeting illegal settlements and increasing the pressure on the Israeli government to change course. We are not imposing sanctions on Israel as a whole, which would punish the Israeli people, many of whom disagree with their government’s position.

The Israeli people are not responsible for the actions of their government. And nor is the Jewish community in the UK. Blaming British Jews for the actions of Benjamin Netanyahu’s government is wrong, plain and simple. And it is antisemitism, plain and simple.

I met the representatives of the Jewish community just last week. I know the fear they live with day by day. My government will stop at nothing to ensure they are safe and to stamp out antisemitism in every part of our society.

The measures we are announcing today are about protecting the only solution that could see the Israeli and Palestinian people living side by side in peace and security - something that people up and down the UK desperately want to see.

The government I lead will keep working with our partners around the world to keep that hope alive.

New York Mayor @ZohranKMamdani says he has no jurisdiction to cancel a private event at the Maddison Square Garden
hosted by the RSS where Chief Mohan Bhagwat will be addressing an audience.

In India’s Vibrant Democracy the assistant sub inspector (ASI) of the closest police station can get it done…

Step 1) - Inform Mohan Bhagwat that he will need police protection as people have threatened violence to protest against this event.
A group of 40 people (Currently Jobless) believe that Mohan Bhagwat’s speech would offend their religious beliefs.

Step 2) - Please ask Mohan Bhagwat to give the Police in writing that he won’t say anything controversial in anyway to anyone living/dead or unborn. The speech would not include Cultural, Religious & Political content. Nothing about Language, Food or any Historical Figure living/dead or unborn.

Step 3) - Acknowledge the deceleration. However on the date you’re currently scheduled we don’t have enough police recourses to control the protestors & ensure audience safety.

Step 4) - Statement by Mohan Bhagwat “The Miscreants have threatened the safety of our audience & the venue. They are wrongly accusing me of being Anti-National. However in the interest of audience safety the event has been postponed. We will get back with a fresh date at the earliest”

Step 5) - On every date the venue is available for the next 5 years
keep repeating “WE DON’T HAVE THE POLICE RESOURCES TO ENSURE AUDIENCE SAFETY”

Long live the revolution.

15 days and counting. Sonam Wangchuk is a man of remarkable grit. While most politicians retreat to cooler climes in summer, here is someone showing what Gandhian-style, peaceful resistance is truly about. You don’t have to agree with everything he says, but for sheer courage and conviction, he deserves a SALUTE! 💪🏻
And an aside: when Anna Hazare fasted, we in the media covered it round the clock. Sonam Wangchuk’s 15-day protest? Barely a mention. Says a lot about what we choose to amplify and how much things have changed since 2011. 🙏

This should shake the core of the nation. It should be a non-stop headline across all media. 30 men! A 13-year-old child! But no.

One guy is looting money by forcing Ethanol
Another is land grabbing for his real estate empire
One is making money from leaking exam papers
Another is looting by selling the Nicobar Island

Top to bottom, everything is corrupt and compromised in this Modi govt.

आकांक्षा डॉक्टर बनकर देश और समाज की सेवा करना चाहती थी। आकांक्षा के पिता किसान हैं। बेटी के डॉक्टर बनने के सपने के लिए किसान क्रेडिट कार्ड पर ₹3 लाख का कर्ज़ लिया। और नागपुर में खुद कुक की नौकरी कर ली, ताकि बेटी वहाँ coaching कर सके।

एक पिता ने जो कर सकता था, सब किया।
फिर NEET पेपर लीक हुआ। परीक्षा रद्द हुई। उस अनिश्चितता में आकांक्षा हमें छोड़ कर चली गई।

आकांक्षा की मौत आत्महत्या नहीं - मोदी जी की एक भ्रष्ट, टूटी हुई व्यवस्था की देन है।

और धर्मेंद्र प्रधान जी? आज भी कुर्सी पर हैं।
फिर वही कमेटी। वही ट्रांसफर। वही जाँच। न सुधार, न न्याय।

मोदी जी, कुर्सी स्थायी नहीं होती - आती-जाती रहती है। लेकिन आपने 12 वर्षों में शिक्षा व्यवस्था को जिस हद तक बर्बाद किया है, उसकी कीमत भारत की एक पूरी युवा पीढ़ी चुका रही है।

The government has taken down our iconic website - https://t.co/ELmb4ZlEed.

10 Lakh cockroaches had signed up on our website has members.

6 Lakh cockroaches had signed a petition to demand the resignation of Dharmendra Pradhan.

Why is the government so scared of cockroaches? But this dictatorial behaviour is opening the eyes of India's youth. Our only crime is we were demanding a better future for ourselves.

But you can't get rid of us that easily. We’re working on a new home right now. Cockroaches never die. 🪳

Former Secretary of State Antony Blinken and his wife PANIC when confronted about killing a generation of children in Palestine while their own kids are present.

“Please, with the children!” They plead.

Activist responds by asking if it’s “just your children” they care about says she’s feels sorry for their kids — “one day they’ll grow up and read the news.”

Today marks Nakba Day, an annual day of remembrance to commemorate the expulsion of more than 700,000 Palestinians between 1947 and 1949 during the creation of the State of Israel and the year that followed.

Inea is a New Yorker and a Nakba survivor. She shared her story with us — one of home, tradition and memory over generations.

Amazing that a Union Minister’s son is absconding in a sexual assault case on a 17 yr old girl. While absconding he moves court for anticipatory bail & his father continues as Union Minister. This level of brazen shamelessness is only possible in Modi’s regime

KHAN SIR TORE INTO NTA OVER NEET PAPER LEAK 🔥

NTA says registration fee won’t be taken again. Are you doing students a favour?

What about students who travelled hundreds of kilometres, slept at stations, and spent money they barely had?

What about girls whose families may not allow a second chance after one failed attempt?

NTA thinks re-exam fixes everything.

Khan Sir explained the real cost.

[Rahul Gandhi @RahulGandhi]

देश के युवाओं के सामने एक गंभीर बात रखना चाहता हूँ।

एक काम कीजिए - खुद Google कीजिए: “NEET 2024 की भयंकर चोरी के दौरान NTA का DG कौन था, और मोदी सरकार ने उसे आज कहां बैठाया है?”

देखा? समझ आया?

BJP इसी तरह आप जैसे लाखों मेहनती विद्यार्थियों के भविष्य से खिलवाड़ करने वालों को इनाम देती है - उनकी रक्षा करती है, ऊपर से उन्हें तरक्की देती है।

साफ़ है - मोदी जी और भाजपा आपके भविष्य की चोरी में ख़ुद साझेदार हैं।

जिस बाज़ार में आपकी मेहनत, आपके सपने नीलाम हो रहे हैं, उसका एक ही उसूल है - जितनी बड़ी चोरी, उतना बड़ा इनाम।

Union Minister CR Patil got suspended from Police Head Constable job for liquor sale. Then dismissed by Gujarat Police for being caught for liquor trade. Liquor is prohibited in Gujarat for past 70 years. Then he joined BJP & became President of Diamond CoOp Bank. Was in Jail for Rs.600 cr bank fraud. Got bail from SC on promise - he will deposit Rs.300 crore in 6 months. Again jail for keeping promise of bail condition. Next year he paid and released from 3 year jail life. Became BJP MP and in 2019 became BJP Gujarat State President. 2024 onwards Na Khaunga, Na Khane Doonga Modiji’s Cabinet Minister!
