ISRAEL’s “relentless and unrestrained bombing campaign with horrific indiscriminate effects” must end, religious leaders, including the Bishop of Southwark, the Rt Revd Christopher Chessun, have said. In a joint statement, the 68 bishops and church leaders, mainly from the United States, South Africa, Britain, and Ireland, write: “Enough is enough. World leaders cannot sit by while Palestinian civilians in Gaza experience such catastrophic destruction and trauma. On Thursday of last week, Hamas gunmen killed three Israelis, including a 24-year-old schoolteacher pregnant with her first child. In total, 137 hostages remain in Gaza, including 17 women and children.
