أنباء وصور هذا الأسبوع لأطفال يموتون جوعا أكثر من مروعة. ندين اقتراح وزير الدفاع كاتس بشأن التهجير القسري إلى رفح. والتوسع الاستيطاني غير القانوني بالضفة الغربية مستمر بوتيرة سريعة، وكذلك عنف المستوطنين، بل وحتى الإرهاب ضد الفلسطينيين. هذه حملة متسارعة لمنع قيام دولة فلسطينية.

The UK is deeply concerned by violence in Syria and attacks on civilians. We call for the parties to de-escalate and for Israel to refrain from its destabilising attacks. Syrians deserve a peaceful, inclusive future for their country.

💬We asked @halime_el, Member of Parliament — what’s a core measure⚖️ in terms of electoral funding, to elevate women's representation in parliament? #InclusiveElections @ukinlebanon @UN_Lebanon @UN_Women @UNICBeirut @unwomenarabic unwo.men/OUpG50WrF2f
قلقون جدا من مشاهد التصعيد في سورية. حماية المدنيين والالتزام بوقف إطلاق النار من أولوياتنا، كما محاسبة مرتكبي أعمال العنف في السويداء. إن الهجمات الإسرائيلية في دمشق تهدد بزعزعة استقرار البلاد. يجب احترام سيادة سورية.
Alarmed by escalating scenes in Syria. We want to see civilians protected and the ceasefire upheld, with those responsible for violence in Suwayda held to account. Israel's attacks in Damascus risks destabilising the country. Syria's sovereignty must be respected.
أكثر من 800 فلسطيني قُتلوا أثناء انتظارهم للحصول على مساعدات، بما في ذلك بنيران الجيش الإسرائيلي. هذا أمر بغيض. في كل يوم دون وقف إطلاق النار، تزداد معاناة الرهائن، وترتفع حصيلة القتلى في غزة. لا بد من التوصل إلى اتفاق، ويجب على إسرائيل السماح للأمم المتحدة بإنقاذ الأرواح.
