BBUK has sent its congratulations and looks forward to working with them in the future.

B'nai B'rith UK would like to extend its deepest condolences to Catholic communities throughout the world, especially those in the UK, at the passing of His Holiness, Pope Francis. The Pope was a man of conviction and compassion who dedicated his life to the welfare of poor and marginalised communities. He also strove for reconciliation between people of different faiths and fostered deep and lasting ties with the Jewish community. We hope that his vision of building peace and understanding comes to pass in the Middle East and that his memory can inspire acts of compassion, tolerance and understanding.

B’nai B’rith UK would like to express our immense sorrow at the return to Israel of the bodies of Kfir and Ariel Bibas, their mother Shiri Bibas and peace activist Oded Lifshitz. We mourn the loss of their beautiful souls and send comfort to their families at a time of deep sadness and anguish. As a community, we clung to hope that these innocents would be returned safely to their families. Now we know that they were victims of Hamas’s fathomless barbarism and cruelty. Indeed even in death, they could not be respected. Few of us will forget how their coffins were daubed with vile slogans and subjected to a ghoulish and obscene display of propaganda. The killing of these innocents reminds us that Israel’s enemies have an insatiable appetite to murder Jews. They are the enemies of their own people, not just Israelis, and they must play no role in Gaza, and beyond. We call for all remaining hostages to be released now and for the world to stand by Israel as it seeks to protect its citizens.
