BenWell, what a relief to not have woken up to a nuclear armageddon in the #MiddleEast
Whilst it offers a brief reprieve, I am not hopeful this ceasefire will hold; it feels particularly fragile - #Pakistan and #Iran claim it also applies to Lebanon, meanwhile #Israel denies this, and is issuing a new and inmediate evacuation warning to the people of Tyre this very morning.
If nothing else, I hope it has pulled #Trump off the Nuclear ledge, regardless of whether hostilities ultimately cease for any meaningful period of time.
Will Starmer be able to make any significant impact with his visit to the region today, in an effort to bolster and offer support to the ceasefire.
I hate being so pessimistic but the last 1.5yrs has given us little to be optimistic about. Time will tell, I suppose.
What do we think?
