one The mother was leaning from hunger with a baby boy in her arms, and you could see his bones. The body of a child who died while queuing was killed. Hamas is still held hostage by Hamas, nearly two years after the terrorist attacks.
These and countless images have scared us all in recent months. Humanitarian crisis Gaza Must stop. The famine must end. The hostages must return to their homes.
There is one person who is more capable of achieving this than anyone else. A man who can answer the phone to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and tell him to end the aid blockade caused Pain and hunger On such a shocking scale. One who can leverage his influence on Qatar and other Gulf countries to help ensure the emergency release of Hamas hostages.
Donald Trump could do these things today if he chose. He has more power than anyone else to force a ceasefire and to embark on the path of lasting peace with a two-state solution.
But so far, he decided not to do so. Instead, he received full support from Netanyahu. Last week, Trump said his false propaganda involved six wars when Ukraine was “The only one” – Shows that he hasn’t even seen what happened in the war he wants to stop.
Trump will make his second state visit in the UK in three weeks, which will Including state banquets Windsor Castle, presided over by King Charles.
One of the greatest privileges of becoming a leader of my party was my wife Emily and I were invited to a state banquet. It is a great honor to receive the invitation from the King and I express my very serious responsibility for our sovereignty. As a member of the Parliament, I am proudly sworn in by the Almighty God, and I will be faithful and truly loyal to his heir and successor, King Charles. Rejecting such an invitation goes against all my intuition.
But after thinking with Emily and praying for it and trying to pray, I came to the conclusion that in this case, I had to refuse.
It has nothing to do with my deep disagreement with President Trump’s many other issues. I think Keir Starmer is right to interact with him, although I do wish he was stronger about Trump’s everything from tariffs to Vladimir Putin. Indeed, I think last January we should take advantage of the proposal of a state visit – something Trump so desperately longs for – to convince him to do the right thing. I believe the United States is an important ally and I believe in negotiating with the President no matter who we are in the White House and no matter what our differences are.
So the purpose is now: I worry that we might encounter situations where Trump comes to our country and enjoy a luxurious dinner in one of our best palaces, and no one reminds him that he has the ability to stop the horrific hunger, death, death and fascination of the Gaza location in Gaza. And no one took advantage of this moment to ask the US president to pick up the phone to Netanyahu and Kataris and do the right thing.
It is my responsibility to do everything possible to ensure that the people of Gaza are not forgotten during the grand occasions and ceremonies, and to ensure that the UK makes Trump’s personal responsibility to ensure peace Israel Palestine is a problem.
Boycotting a state banquet is not something I want to do, but I believe it is the only way I can send a message to Trump and Steamer that they can’t close their eyes and hope for that. Donald Trump must act immediately to end the humanitarian disaster in Gaza and release the hostages.
