Lammy urged to condemn Israel for provoking wider war after killing of Hamas leader
FOREIGN SECRETARY David Lammy was urged to condemn Israel’s efforts to widen the war in the Middle East today following the killing of Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh by an air strike in Iran.
Stop the War Coalition (StWC) said Haniyeh was the lead Hamas figure in the negotiations for a ceasefire in Gaza taking place in Qatar and Israel’s actions “could not have been more provocative.”
StWC vice-chairman Chris Nineham also criticised Labour for using the killing to delay its plans to cancel some arms sales to Israel.
