Now is an extremely difficult time to be a Muslim member of the Labour Party, let alone a Muslim on Labour’s National Executive Committee.

I’m devastated by the killing of all civilians in the Middle East, whether they are Israelis, Palestinians or foreign nationals, whether they are Muslim, Jewish, Christian, people of faith or none.

I am appalled by the terror being inflicted on Israeli hostages at the hands of Hamas, as well as Palestinians in Gaza and the West Bank at the hands of Israeli soldiers and settlers.
