Let us see. Will be nervously watching news all day.
US President Donald Trump says a memorandum of understanding with Iran that includes a 60-day ceasefire and the reopening of Hormuz will be signed on Sunday, even though the event does not appear on his publicly available schedule.

One has to just hope. Spoilers will look to undermine this. Some strikes even before a deal gets over the line. And what is in the deal?
BREAKING: US President Donald Trump says that a deal with Iran is scheduled to be signed on Sunday and that the Strait of Hormuz would immediately be "open to all" once the agreement is signed.

I am so sorry to hear this news. Colin Green was a remarkable man, brave and principled. We shall miss him. RIP
H.E. Ambassador @hzomlot and all at the Embassy of Palestine offer their most heartfelt condolences to the family and friends of Professor Colin Green, who passed away earlier today.
Professor Green’s selfless advocacy for Palestine was exemplary. He worked for revitalising Medical Aid for Palestinians (MAP-UK), and established the Foundation for Al Quds Medical School (FQMS) and the International Medical Education Trust (IMET2000).
In 2020, Dr Zomlot honoured him for his longstanding solidarity with the people of Palestine. In 2002, Professor Green was awarded the Palestinian Millennium Medal by former President Yasser Arafat for his "services to the Palestinian people".
May his soul rest in eternal peace.

Sky News' gain is CBS's loss.
Sir Trevor Phillips will be leaving Sky News this summer to take up a new role in the US.
Executive Chairman @davidgrayrhodes said: "Sir Trevor Phillips has brought audiences insightful conversations every Sunday - at Sky News we’re grateful for all that he has contributed.
I know Trevor will bring the best of that to America with this exciting new opportunity. We wish him every success"

They are not security zones. They are occupied territory. (Also they will not bring Israelis security as history has shown time and time again)

Spot on from @OborneTweets. Would Starmer boycott a World Cup final in the US if England or Scotland made it? He said that re 🇶🇦 in 2022. But many others made similar statements. Most of them are quiet about the US's appalling record. Will the BBC say anything? 1/

Or is it just if an Arab/Muslim state hosts a world cup? Remember there was little outcry when Russia hosted the world cup in 2018, even after having seized a part of Crimea in Ukraine & assassinated Litvinenko using Polonium 3/

Settlement properties have been sold for a long time in London. I remember a property fair at Alexandria Palace & Brent Town Hall as well as adverts in papers such as the Jewish Chronicle.Charities have been supporting these settlements. All of this must end. Now.
I condemn any attempt to sell property in the settlements in the West Bank, be that in London or anywhere else in the world.

Almost 100 MPs and Peers are urging Ministers to prevent the 'Great Israeli Real Estate Event' taking place in London this weekend.
The govt has an opportunity to uphold obligations under international law and take action against Israel’s illegal occupation of Palestine.

🚨 French authorities have confirmed Israeli interference in May's Scottish elections.
Will @YvetteCooperMP follow France's lead and summon the Israeli ambassador? Or will she continue Labour's tradition of letting them away with absolutely anything?
