On the podcast this week, staff writer Francis Martin speaks to the Bishop of Gloucester, the Rt Revd Rachel Treweek, about her recent trip to Israel and Palestine. Travelling with the Bishops of Norwich and Chelmsford, Bishop Treweek met Anglicans across the occupied West Bank and Jerusalem. The bishops planted olive trees in the al-Makhrour valley near Bethlehem, with members of the group Rabbis for Human Rights. “Words are not enough,” she says, as a response to the situation affecting Palestinians, and suggests that the UK Government is “complicit in the occupation” of the West Bank.
