Bakewell Quakers wrote to Derbyshire Dales MP, John Whitby recently about the situation in Gaza. You can find our letter here. John Whitby replied promptly to say that while he fully supported the right of Israel to defend itself, he remained deeply alarmed by the scale and nature of Israel’s response. He also wrote:
‘I will keep urging the Government to use every available opportunity to push for a lasting ceasefire, full humanitarian access, the return of hostages, and real movement toward a two-state solution.’
