LFPME welcomes the measures announced yesterday - but they must be followed up with robust enforcement measures to ensure no UK entity is complicit in supporting illegal settlements.

Israel’s military escalation in Lebanon has displaced civilians, destroyed infrastructure, and eroded space for diplomacy. It must end.
Hizballah must end attacks on Israel and disarm.
All parties must support negotiations towards a lasting political settlement.

Continued escalation in Lebanon is undermining diplomatic efforts and having an unacceptable impact on civilians. Israel's expansion of the conflict must stop.
Hizballah must end attacks on Israel and disarm. All sides should uphold the ceasefire and continue US-led talks.

Words of condemnation have so far done little to deter ongoing violations.
We must now act to pressure Israeli authorities to adhere by the terms of the ceasefire, protect intl law, increase aid and humanitarian assistance to Palestinian civilians, and uphold accountability.

LFPME are deeply saddened to see another violent attack targeting the Jewish community in London.
Antisemitism should have no place in the UK and these latest attacks are abhorrent.

Our thoughts are with the victims and their families, and those across the UK from the Jewish community who are understandably feeling fearful.

LFPME is deeply concerned that the FCDO is closing the international humanitarian law (IHL) cell. The cell did essential work establishing the UK government’s obligations under IHL and tracked breaches in Gaza and Lebanon. (1/5) 🧵

Alongside cuts to international aid announced last year, the sudden closure of this unit risks further limiting the UK’s position and contribution to the world stage, and undermines our ability to react quickly and compliantly to breaches of IHL in the Middle East. (5/5)

The £5m in humanitarian relief provided by the UK government to Lebanon is welcome, and it must continue to make it clear to the Israeli government that violence targeting civilian infrastructure is completely unacceptable and in breach of international humanitarian law. (3/5)

This 10 day ceasefire must pave the way to further talks and peaceful negotiation. We must continue to support the structures of international law and call for accountability of violations. No Palestinian, Lebanese or Israeli citizen is made safer by violent escalation. (4/5)

Direct negotiations can pave the way to bring lasting security for Lebanon and Israel.
With international partners, the UK calls for the inclusion of Lebanon in regional de-escalation efforts.
All parties must work together for a lasting solution.
