125: Relief work in Ukraine and Israel. Elnet UK's reception at the Houses of Parliament


Listen Later

In these times of danger in the Middle East, even on one’s own doorstep, it was both heartening and morale boosting for everyone who attended a Parliamentary reception at the Palace of Westminster.

Led by Elnet UK with United Hatzalah of Israel and World Jewish Relief, we learned of support on the ground for victims in the Ukraine and Israel. Meant to mark the 600th day since the war started in Ukraine, the Hamas terror attacks meant the focus shifted - though we were urged not to forget the war in Europe.

In both conflicts, we were reminded of the “sickening suffering” inflicted on innocent civilians. And not just of concern to Israel, but wars for the future of good overcoming evil. Shocking testimonies don’t seem to get easier to hear. We heard Noam Sagi’s heartfelt story of his mother’s kidnap from her kibbutz Nir Oz home.

He gave a news conference to London-based media. It’s coming up. I hosted the panel discussion with Assaf Admoni of United Hatzalah, Marta Kubica, chief executive of Elnet (Central and Eastern Europe), and Beth Saffer, head of older peoples’ programmes at World Jewish Relief. We’ll also heard from Minister for Immigration, Robert Jenrick MP, Wayne David MP, Shadow with responsibility for the Middle East and North Africa and Lord Stuart Polack.

But first to introduce the whole evening, Joan Ryan, CEO of Elnet UK. This episode is brought to you with Elnet UK, dedicated to strengthening relations between the UK, Europe and Israel based on shared democratic values and strategic interests.
