Hundreds of British parliamentarians from both houses sign a statement condemning attacks by Hamas’s “marauding gangs of terrorists.”
“The attack by Iran’s Hamas proxy is a futile attempt to harm the movement for peace across the region, as Israel and its Arab neighbours work jointly for a future of shared prosperity,” says the statement drafted by the Britain-Israel All-Party Parliamentary Group, consisting of members from a range of political parties.
“The Abraham Accords have shown that a future of peace is possible and we celebrate the historic opportunity it presents and call for redoubled efforts to expand them.”
Labour Shadow Foreign Secretary David Lammy is among the signatories.
“As members of all of the UK’s main political parties, we stand in solidarity with Israel and its right to self-defense at this time of great need,” says the statement.
Help us report truthfully on social media
As a multimedia journalist, my job is to take the quality, fact-based journalism produced by The Times of Israel newsroom and make it accessible across every platform — from Instagram posts to podcasts to short-form videos.
This is how many, especially young people, consume news these days. But misinformation is rampant on social media. Our team at ToI produces accurate, responsible short-form reporting on Israel and the Jewish world.
If you believe in the importance of factual social media journalism, please consider joining our reader support group, The Times of Israel Community. Your financial support is essential to sustain responsible multimedia reporting.
