More aid for Gaza and fewer weapons for Israel, MPs demand
THE government was told to give more aid to Gaza and fewer weapons to Israel today as political patience with the Netanyahu regime started to run out across the Commons.
Left MPs used a statement on the humanitarian crisis in Gaza to warn that pleading with Israel to behave better had failed and it was time to take action to save lives.
Former shadow justice secretary Richard Burgon told ministers that officials signing off on arms transfers to Israel were “aiding and abetting war crimes in Gaza.”
