At 7pm, watch the @HMD_UK Holocaust Memorial Day UK National Ceremony on BBC One. After the ceremony, please light a candle to #LightTheDarkness and place it in your window.
Please light a candle and place it safely in your window at 8pm tonight. Show your neighbours, your community, your nation that you have the courage to stand against hate. @HMD_UK
FOR A BETTER FUTURE
I valued the time I spent with Minister for Faith @LordWajidKhan this week, and having the opportunity to discuss crucial matters of social cohesion with him. We spoke about the importance of doing all we can to strengthen relationships among faith and belief groups, especially between the Muslim and Jewish communities.
396 days ago, today.
Hamas raped Jewish women, burned families alive, shot babies in their cribs, while proudly live-streaming it.
The vast majority of the Palestinians celebrated this.
This is why Israel is at war, if anyone asks.
PM Netanyahu and his wife Sara, together with @SpeakerJohnson, met on Wednesday following the Prime Minister's address to the US Congress, with the families of hostages who have accompanied the Prime Minister and families of the American hostages who were invited by the Speaker.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu met yesterday, before his speech to the US Congress, with the leaders of both houses – House of Representatives Speaker Mike Johnson and Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer.

Today, just before we were speaking, there was a report of five hostages that unfortunately are not alive, and our soldiers found them and brought them back, but we’re committed to bringing everyone back.
I was born in the city of Dachau and visited the museum at the camp several times with school and with visiting friends and family. Hard pill to swallow. To this day I force myself to read at least one history book about WWII every year.
The names of the eight #IDF soldiers who were killed in the horrific attack on an armored personnel carrier have been released to the public. Their names:
🕯️Captain Wassem Mahmoud (23)
🕯️Sergeant Elyahu Moshe Zimbalist (21)
🕯️Sergeant Itay Amar (19)
🕯️Staff Sergeant Stanislav Kostarev (21)
🕯️Staff Sergeant Orr Blumovitz (20)
🕯️Staff Sergeant Oz Yeshaia Gruber (20)
🕯️Sergeant Yakir Ya'akov Levi (21)
🕯️Sergeant Shalom Menachem (21)
They were killed in Gaza during this current operation against Hamas terrorists.
May the memories of these brave IDF soldiers forever be a blessing. 🕯️
Ahead of Shabbat for Israel, families of hostages held by Hamas join Acapella group Kippalive in singing 'Acheinu' - a prayer for redemption - at an event held at the Israeli Ambassador's residence in London.
“Until the very last one of the hostages comes home, we will stage rallies and we will cry out to leaders of the world: Bring them home!”
Thank you to the hundreds of people who gathered in Borehamwood yesterday in solidarity with those who remain in captivity.
