I wasn't going to say anything today but then I thought a little praise for my member of parliament - Labour; Josh Fenton-Glynn for the work he is doing in parliament. Like many who feel angry and sad the Palestinians are always there in my mind and when will it all end. So it gives me comfort that somehow the workings of parliament are addressing this terrible happening.

Dear Thelma Wilcox,
I wanted to update those of you who have previously written to me on Gaza as to the action I have been taking to escalate your concerns on this.
Since being elected, this has been one of the issues that has come into my inbox most frequently, and I have spoken in Parliament often to raise the dire situation in Gaza.
Just this week I spoke to once again raise the humanitarian crisis in Gaza and call for the escalation of diplomatic measures against the Israeli government, which you can watch here.
I am also writing to Hamish Falconer, Minister for the Middle East, to echo this; asking that the Government use all diplomatic efforts available to bring peace to the region.
I was also among 75 Labour MPs and peers to write to the Prime Minister and Foreign Secretary to call for the recognition of Palestinian statehood, and to emphasise the need for greater efforts to bring about a peaceful resolution to the conflict.
The letter, attached, calls for the Government to use the UN Conference on the Two-State Solution next month as an opportunity to work with France to the recognition of Palestine as a state, as a step towards peace.
Over recent months, I have repeatedly raised the humanitarian crisis in Gaza, and called for more aid to reach those who need it there. I have also continually raised the dire medical situation, and the urgency with which we need to protect medical facilities and staff, and ensure the supplies needed reach them.
I will continue to call for a permanent ceasefire, the release of all hostages, and a two state solution with a viable Palestinian state alongside a safe and secure Israel.
Kind regards,
Josh

Also seen yesterday. I hope that the renewed entry of aid will go towards feeding some of the people in Palestine. This is such a delicate matter, I have no side to uphold only the need for the people of Palestine to be treated with some respect.
It's good that your hear from your member when you reach out to him. Women and children should not be starving anywhere. It's a sad world we live in where this is happening all over. Thanks for speaking out, Thelma.
ReplyDeleteI feel guilty Ellen having so much food to eat and yet all over the world people are starving. Josh works hard he is still in that innocent stage for a parliamentarian of wanting to do good.
