Let us #PrayTogether for the conflict in Palestine and Israel. May there be peace in the Holy Land; may there be peace in Jerusalem! May the Holy City be a place of encounter where Christians, Jews, and Muslims feel respected and welcomed.

#SeasonofCreation - Calling for peace, Pope Francis says ‘ The cry of the wounded Earth is becoming more and more alarming and calls for decisive and urgent action.’ As land use & livelihoods are threatened by the climate crisis, peace is threatened. Let’s hope & act. SCIAF 🧡

We've known from the start that 🇮🇱 has been using its F-35 aircraft - of which 15% of each plane is made in the UK - in its genocidal war on Gaza. Now, for the first time, Danwatch have found definite evidence that an F-35 was used in a specific attack caat.org.uk/news/investiga…

With dozens killed in the West Bank, Caritas Jerusalem has been forced to suspend all aid work. Saturday also brought the news that six more Israeli hostages were killed. The killing must end. Please pray for a ceasefire, release of all hostages and peace in the Holy Land.

#ArmsEmbargoOnIsraelNow - Lammy uses lawyer-speak for a meaningless partial ban on arms to Israel. His ‘review’ suggests people might be getting hurt. 40,000 Palestinians have died! We wanted humane action. Pax Christi International Keir Starmer BCoS bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

David Lammy’s partial ban makes the UK even more complicit in the 40,000 deaths in Palestine. Pax Christi Scotland wants no part in this.

#ChannelTragedy - Yvette Cooper says the deaths of children & women in the Channel is ‘horrifying and deeply tragic’. These Eritreans are fleeing a dictatorship that practices torture & worse. Surely it’s time to establish safe routes for refugees? theguardian.com/world/live/202…
