FOI application for Gaza correspondence

May 27, 2025

Ghaith Krayem needs to be reassured that many non-Muslims support him, and incidentally, despite huge efforts to blur the picture, we are not anti-Jewish. But many of us are shocked that a state presumably founded to realise Jewish values in practice has gone far beyond a reasonable response to 7 October 2023.

It seems as if Israel is now prepared to Hannibal the remaining hostages, who could have been freed under the early 2025 ceasefire, which it abrogated. I feel sure large numbers of people have written to the prime minister and foreign minister about the continuing massacre, but if my own experience is anything to go by, there has been no response. The prime minister’s webform doesn’t even acknowledge receipt.

I have now submitted FOI applications to both ministers for all correspondence and emails from the public relating to the Israeli response to the Hamas attacks from Gaza in October 2023.
