İyi bayramlar, Eid Mabrouk & Eid Mubarak to all who are celebrating

A great night with Bill Bailey for his first show in #Cyprus . Music, laughs, some grumbling (‘not in a bad way’), rock balls (!), a bouzouki, a laser harp (!!) & I think even a kazoo at one point. A good night out for ‘the people of Nicosia & the surrounding area’

Today we mark a grim milestone: six months since the brutal attacks by Hamas on October 7. In The Times and The Sunday Times, I set out the UK's response.

Support the hostages and their families. Deliver aid to Palestinian civilians. Diplomatic leadership to reach a sustainable ceasefire. Support…

🇬🇧 is committed to supporting 🇨🇾 maritime corridor to get more life-saving aid into Gaza. Cyprus MFA #Amalthea initiative will support land & air routes to increase aid delivery. 🇬🇧 helped test concept in December; we will work with 🇨🇾🇺🇸 & others to make the corridor operational

Parents, children and loved ones.
Students and festival goers.
Construction workers.

Six months on from Hamas’s horrific attack on the Israeli people, David Cameron renews our call to send all of the hostages home.

UK aid is getting in to Gaza.

By land, by sea, and by air – we are working with our international partners to reach those in need.

NATO’s 75th … a Foreign Ministers’ meeting … and what needs to happen next

NATO has never been stronger.

With Ukraine closer to the Alliance than ever, we must sustain the support they need to win the war.

This means spending more, producing more and delivering more on defence.

#NATO75

Most successful defensive alliance ever - and sadly, now more important than ever

Today I spoke with World Central Kitchen CEO Erin Gore.

I expressed the UK’s sincere condolences for the killing of WCK’s aid workers, including three British Nationals, in Gaza.

Aid workers being killed doing lifesaving work is indefensible. Israel must protect humanitarian workers.

Today the United Nations Security Council was briefed about Monday’s strike in Damascus.

The UK is deeply concerned about the potential for escalation in the Middle East and calls on all parties to reduce tensions.

I spoke with Israeli FM @Israel_Katz to underline that the deaths of World Central Kitchen aid workers in Gaza, including three British Nationals, are completely unacceptable.

Israel must urgently explain how this happened & make major changes to ensure safety of aid workers on the ground.
