In early 2025, the Israeli military launched an operation that emptied three Palestinian refugee camps. They've blocked their residents from returning and razed many of their homes.

In a new report, HRW finds that Israeli forces carried out war crimes, ethnic cleansing and crimes against humanity.

Attacks by illegal Israeli settlers in the West Bank are on the increase. Terror, assaults and occupation that is not being checked.

One month since the Gaza ceasefire, we’re delivering on our 60-day plan.

We’re saving lives but could save many more with better access, more safety and more funding.

Excellent questions from @eddavey.libdems.org.uk
and what a limp response from Keir Starmer. Does the PM not realise what’s at stake here?

The Prime Minister talks the talk on supporting an independent BBC, but he refuses to walk the walk.

Robbie Gibbs must go.

Well said, Anna Sabine. Having an influential BBC Board Member who’s a former Tory spin doctor with strong links to the Jewish Chronicle and GBNews, doesn’t inspire trust in BBC News impartiality.

"This is the wrong choice...Gibb isn’t fit to serve on the BBC Board, & the BBC Charter gives the Government the power to sack him." PM should step in, she says.
