Britain ‘complicit with genocide’ after cutting funding to UN relief agency in Gaza
Israel and the West risk nuclear war in Middle East, says NEU's Daniel Kebede in speech at a Stop the War meeting

BRITAIN’s biggest teaching union said the country’s withdrawal of funding for the UN’s relief agency in Gaza makes it complicit with genocide, and left MPs Jeremy Corbyn and Claudia Webbe have vowed to challenge the decision in Parliament on Monday.

National Education Union general secretary Daniel Kebede warned that Israel and its Western backers were risking nuclear war in the Middle East in a speech at today’s Stop the War meeting in east London.

Business Secretary Kemi Badenoch defended Britain’s decision to join states cutting funds to the United Nations Relief & Works Agency (UNRWA) following claims that several of its workers were involved in the October 7 Hamas attack on southern Israel.
