Israel continuously claims Jerusalem as it's Capital and further promises that it will remain undevided. The Palestinians on the other hand are more flexible, claiming East Jerusalem as the capital of Palestine, currently a UN non member sate following the General Assembly vote to upgrade its status back in 2012.

Berieved parents following attack on children at Shati camp This is not an attack to stop rocket fire from Gaza.

As Philip Hamnond moves into the Foreign Office, my message to him is simple. Britain has for decades, supported the occupier over the occupied and conducted business as usual with Israel. It is time Britain reversed this shameful policy. Rt Hon Philip Hammond MP, British Foreign Secretary Dear Secretary Hammond Congratulations on your appointment as …
