An important but somber visit to @I_W_M’s Holocaust Galleries with @AlfDubs and the @GenocideAPPG. A vital reminder that the Holocaust is not an abstract historical event but a very real horror that was inflicted upon very real people. I recommend everyone to visit.

Today I again urged Govt to launch an International Palestine Contact Group to commence track II negotiations - bringing civil society, youth and women together - to move us closer to a long term peace. Israel also needs to bring forward a plan for the reconstruction of Gaza.
