Mayor Rokhsana Fiaz and Cllr Sabia Kamali meeting women concerned about the rise of hate crime on 17 October 2023

Your Labour administration will do all it can to make sure that all our communities in Newham are protected and feel safe. We support calls from across our communities for international laws to be upheld, including those which prohibits collective punishment of innocent civilians in Gaza caught up in this conflict.

We also call for urgency in the humanitarian response that will safeguard innocent lives in Gaza – they must have access to food, electricity and medicine. All Israeli hostages must also be released.

There is no justification of the terrorist attacks committed by Hamas against Israeli civilians, nor of the disproportionate response by the Israeli government. It doesn’t serve the just cause of  Palestinian freedom and statehood.
