Today, over 300 Parliamentarians from both Houses, including Surrey Heath's MP Michael Gove, have signed a statement standing in support with Israel and its right to self-defence at this time of great need.
Hamas’s acts of violence against women, children, and families across Israel must be condemned in the strongest possible terms. Hamas are not freedom fighters. They are not militants. They are terrorists.
There is no place for people to celebrate the massacre of Jews on British streets.
The Home Secretary, Suella Braverman MP, has written to Police Chiefs to make sure they use their powers to prevent disorder and distress.
For the Jewish and Israeli community in Surrey Heath, across the county, and around the world, our message is clear. We stand with Israel.
Commenting, Michael said:
"On behalf of all Surrey Heath’s citizens, I stand with Israel against the barbaric terrorism we have witnessed in the last few days. I have asked Surrey Heath Borough Council to show solidarity with the people of Israel by flying Israel's flag and condemning the evil of Hamas."
