MPs across the Commons told Foreign Secretary David Lammy that it is time to act as he struggled to defend the government’s Gaza policy.

Independent MP Jeremy Corbyn told Mr Lammy that Israel was now clearly bent on annexing all or part of Gaza alongside killing children and denying “food, water and electricity to the people of Gaza.”

He demanded that the government make it clear that Israel is breaking international law and cancel all arms sales and military co-operation with Israel, including the use of the RAF Akotiri base in Cyprus.
