MORE than 60 MPs and lords from seven parties wrote to the Foreign Secretary yesterday calling on him to implement comprehensive sanctions over Israel’s repeated violations of international law.

The letter, organised by MPs Richard Burgon and Imran Hussain, follows a landmark ruling by the International Court of Justice (ICJ), the world’s top court, which labelled Israel’s continuing occupation of Palestine unlawful and demanded it end as rapidly as possible. 

The court has called on all states not to provide aid or assistance to Israel or enter into economic or trade dealings that maintain this illegal presence in the Occupied Palestinian Territory.
