After 584 days in captivity, I am delighted to see Edan Alexander released. I think of the other hostages who remain in captivity. Military ops will not bring them home. We need a deal to end the war, release all the hostages, get aid into Gaza & provide a secure future for all.

I’m appalled by the murderous attack on Israeli Embassy employees in Washington DC outside the Jewish Museum. There can be no excuse or justification.

Horrified by the killing of two Israeli Embassy staff in DC. We condemn this appalling, antisemitic crime. Our thoughts are with the victims, their families and colleagues at this awful time.

The strength of the families of hostages still held in Gaza is remarkable in the face of unimaginable suffering. I’m deeply moved by their courage and hope. I’m grateful to Amanda and Dalia for their time today. The UK continues to call for the immediate release of all hostages.

On my first trip to Israel and the Occupied Palestinian Territories, I met with the families of hostages held by Hamas and visited an aid centre in the West Bank. The UK is calling for the release of all hostages, the urgent delivery of aid and a two-state solution.

שגרירות בריטניה בישראל: התחקיר ששודר הערב בחדשות סוף השבוע בערוץ 12 כולל האשמות חסרות אחריות שאנחנו הכחשנו באופן יסודי. ממשלת בריטניה מעולם לא מימנה את חמאס או את המשרדים הקשורים אליו. חמאס הוא ארגון טרור רשום ומימון שלו או תמיכה בו מהווים פשע. (1/2)

600 days is 600 days too long. Hamas must release all hostages. Their families have waited too long, and we stand with them. And the war must end. Let’s not have to mark day 601.

I’m deeply saddened by the passing of baby Ravid Haim, born after the murderous attack that claimed the life of his mother, Tze'ela. My thoughts are with his family and all those affected. Violence and terror, in all their forms, must be condemned wherever they occur.

The UK wants a ceasefire now - Hamas must release all the hostages immediately and agree a ceasefire to bring this conflict to an end, protect civilians and get more aid into Gaza.
