There is just much progress to made in Syria and protection of minorities and the respect for freedom of religion #FoRB is a long road, but this meeting between #AhmedAlSharaa and the Chief Rabbi of 🇺🇸 US - SyrianJewish Community is a significant moment.
One day if I ever write a book this photo and how it came about will be an important chapter. Very proud to see the Syrian president shaking hands with the Chief Rabbi of the Syrian Jewish Community in the United States. @syrianetf 🇺🇸 🇸🇾 #Syria

Last week we heard from Lord @tariqahmadbt, he told us that when the Government sits at the UN Security Council, they should champion the deployment of formal Women Mediators Networks to increase women's participation in peace negotiations.

ٹی ایل پی والوں یہاں قائداعظم فرما رہے ہیں کہ چونکہ ظفراللہ خان مسلمان ہیں اس لئے ان کی تعریف کرنا ایسے ہی کہ جیسے وہ اپنے بیٹے کی تعریف کر رہے ہیں۔ قائد اعظم بخوبی جانتے تھے کہ ظفراللہ خان احمدی ہیں مگر وہ انُ کو مسلمان کہہ رہے تھے۔ اب آپ لوگ کیا کرو گے۔ پاکستان سے ہجرت کر جاؤ ۔

Last week we heard from Lord @tariqahmadbt, he stressed that the most vulnerable members of society during conflict are women and girls, as they are impacted the most and therefore a priority when we think about resources being cut and withdrawn.

I'm sorry the Select Committee on assisted dying has decided not to receive written evidence. It's a great pity given the changes in the Bill since it came to the Commons and given how much discussion is yet to happen in the Lords after the Select Committee's work is done. 1/2
Think you have something useful to tell the Lords about Leadbeater’s bill? Think again… “the Committee is not seeking or accepting written evidence other than from invited witnesses”! Anyone aware of any precedent for this? To actively say “we don’t want to know”?

Let us never forget the fundamental importance, at every level, of respect for life and its protection at all stages—from conception to old age, and up to the moment of death. I hope this awareness will continue to grow, especially regarding access to medical care and medicines.
