The voices for Gaza that the government doesn’t want us to hear The arrests of pro-Palestinian protesters is a disturbing echo of the state censorship of Irish militant voices during the Troubles

“If the leaders of this country and their advisors are unable to recognise what is happening daily in Gaza and the West Bank as genocidal, they relinquish the right to be taken seriously.”

Defend Press Freedom I stand with Declassified UK - I've just signed my name. Join me in telling Westminster that you care about freedom of the press.

✒️ Parliament has been accused of an “outrageous abuse” that is “worthy of the Trump White House”, after refusing to issue us a media pass.

Thousands have signed a petition calling on the government to give us access.

Help defend press freedom, sign today.

ALL SYSTEMS GO ELBIT Systems, which as Israel's largest arms firm is a key cog in the Israeli war machine, is close to winning a £2bn contract that would make it a "strategic partner" of the Ministry of Defence, working on the training of 60,000 British soldiers every year. Elbit Systems UK, its British arm, is bidding for the Army Collective Training Service contract. The chosen bidder will work with the MoD to transform military training "through digitalisation, simulation, a different relationship with industry, and by changing how and where the military trains" Many defence giants put in bids, but in February the MoD reduced the bidders to two: Elbit and Raytheon. The MoD paid the companies €2m each to develop their bids. The development period was supposed to run until mid-August, meaning the final decision is imminent. Elbit has certainly done its best to get the inside track with the ministry, appointing two top former MoD figures to its UK board of directors: Sir Simon Bollom (who made the move in June - see Eye 1651) and Sir Mark Poffley. The firm already has similar contracts with the MoD. Since 2023 it has run Project Vulcan, a €57m, ten-year contract of simulation-based training for tank crews. But the new deal would be a significant step up, both in value and in its relationship with the MoD. The Eye asked the MoD if it would be appropriate to give a company so involved in the Gaza war such a major contract, but it did not respond. • Meanwhile, the anger across Europe over Israel's attacks on Gaza didn't prevent Serbia from agreeing a $1.64bn deal, announced last week, for Elbit to supply "a range of defence solutions" including artillery-rocket systems and attack drones.

Starmer’s Labour government says there’s no money to scrap the two-child benefit cap and lift 500,000 children out of poverty — but there is £2,000,000,000 for Elbit, Israel’s partner in genocide.

This obscene deal must be stopped.

They have Palestinian blood on their hands.
