A GREEN MP called today for an end to impunity for British complicity in Israel’s “serious violations” in southern Lebanon.
MP Dr Ellie Chowns slammed the government for refusing to push back against Israel “breaching international law” as Human Rights Watch warned arms-exporting countries that they risk being complicit in the Israeli military’s ground operations in Lebanon.
The North Herefordshire MP also called for PM Sir Keir Starmer to “re-evaluate Israel’s status as an ally to Britain.”
She said: “Israel has continuously flouted international law with apparent impunity. That impunity must end.”
Referring to Israel’s ground troop expansion in southern Lebanon and its illegal attack on Iran with the US, she said: “This permissiveness has not tempered but emboldened the Israeli government.
“The government must heed these serious warnings and act decisively to avoid the UK’s complicity in further crimes and to end the impunity which has enabled and emboldened Israel.”
Campaigners say there is clear evidence British weapons are contributing to war crimes as the government goes on trial to defend its continued supply of arms to Israel
