I think this has gone a bit under the radar, so a reminder: the deadline for replies for the Global Irish Survey is this Sunday: www.ireland.ie/en/irish-dia...
There are separate surveys for individuals and for diaspora organisations. There's also a portal for submitting short position papers.

Gives Israel weeks to carry on, if anything incentives acceleration. Silly Airstrip 1 government in denial about its relevance making a silly offer. And just revolting to make a recognition of statehood of Palestine contingent on the actions of the country annihilating it. Sanctions, now.
The U.K. will recognize a Palestinian state in September unless Israel agrees to a ceasefire in Gaza, allows the U.N. to bring in aid and takes other steps toward long-term peace, Prime Minister Keir Starmer said Tuesday.
