UK Members of Parliament express their concerns about China’s invitation to Queen Elizabeth’s funeral

The Queen’s funeral will be a time for world leaders to come together, put their differences aside, and pay their respects. However, anger is brewing about China’s invite to the historic event.

China’s Xi Jinping is on the guest list, but is not expected to make an appearance. Instead, his Vice-President will likely take his place.

However, some UK Members of Parliament have expressed their concerns about the Chinese Government’s invitation in the first place.

In a letter to the foreign Secretary, Senior Tories have called for the invite to be withdrawn.

The letter reads “It’s extraordinary that the architects of genocide against the Uyghur minority have been invited.”

However, representatives from Russia, Belarus and Myanmar have not been invited.

Israel and Hamas agree to release hostages in U.S.-brokered deal, marking a potential turning point in Gaza conflict.

In a major diplomatic breakthrough, Israel and Hamas have agreed to release all remaining Israeli hostages under a U.S.-brokered framework. The deal pairs prisoner exchanges with an Israeli troop pullback and expanded aid access, marking a potential turning point in the two-year Gaza conflict.

The agreement, set for approval by Israel’s cabinet, could pave the way for lasting peace if both sides uphold the terms. It follows weeks of negotiations led by U.S. envoys and regional mediators in Egypt, Qatar, and Türkiye.

As international agencies prepare to facilitate aid and logistics, the world watches to see whether this fragile deal can hold and bring relief to millions affected by the war.
