Lammy ducks demands to sanction Israeli ministers
DAVID LAMMY has ducked demands from MPs that he sanction Israel’s fascist ministers.
In the latest evasion from the government over the war in Palestine, the Foreign Secretary today refused to answer demands that he act against Israeli ministers Itamar Ben-Gvir and Bezalel Smotirch over their support for violent settlers in the West Bank.
Liberal Democrat MP Clive Jones told him that settler aggression was “one of the biggest barriers to peace,” while Labour’s Clive Betts warned that the threat of annexation of the West Bank, promoted by the duo, was “real.”
