I condemn any attempt to sell property in the settlements in the West Bank, be that in London or anywhere else in the world. aljazeera.com/news/2026/6/12…

I strongly condemn today's Israeli strikes on Beirut. The strikes took place despite the ceasefire & at a time when the US & Iran are expected to reach an agreement that will pave the way to a peaceful resolution of this conflict. This conflict is having a devastating impact on the world's economy. I urge all parties to show maximum restraint at this crucial moment & I strongly hope for a successful outcome of the ongoing efforts by the US & Iran.

Let’s be clear what the Iranian regime is doing by threatening to attack Israel if it defends itself against Hezbollah: It is trying to force Israelis to accept that they will be surrounded by proxy armies that can shoot whenever they want, shell their cities, fire drones into their houses — and Israel can’t respond. Why can’t it respond? Because the Iranian regime will manipulate the United States into restraining Israel not to defend itself. It will threaten an interstate war, threaten to rip up an agreement that has nothing to do with Israel, to keep its “ring of fire” intact. And the result is a country under siege again. Where pop concerts keep getting canceled at a moment’s notice, schools get shut for weeks, and foreign airlines keep canceling. In short, to grind down Israelis through attrition, so Israel becomes a country that no sane person with options would want to live in. Either because of constant attacks on every front, or because we become surrounded with an enemy coalition that is a genuine existential threat. After October 7, we cannot accept that. We will not accept that. And everyone should accept THAT.
