The endless killings, including now at the Holy Family Parish Church in Gaza, the recent events in Taybeh, and problems created for Christians in accessing holy sites in Jerusalem, make clear the Israeli Govt intent to rid the Holy Land of the Palestinian Christian presence.

Israel attacked Iran and did not seek the support of the UK in advance, so it is not our war. I hope and pray that Keir Starmer is not going to follow a previous Labour PM, Tony Blair, and drag us into another disastrous war in the Middle East on the coat-tails of the USA.

Very sad to learn of the death of my old friend, Sean Neeson. Sean was a good and honourable man who gave a lifetime of devoted service to his constituents, the Alliance Party and the wider Northern Ireland community. He had not been well for some time but his death is a sad loss.

With Ehud Olmert, Bertie Ahern and others I gave a laudation for Bill Clinton last night as he received The Peacemaker of the Century award at a glittering international gala dinner in Hotel Kempinski in Berlin. The voice is weaker but the spirit is still strong - an inspiration.
