Lord Purvis of Tweed (LD)

Speaking in the House of Lords on 17 September 2025

Debate

Israel: Royal College of Defence Studies

Contribution

My Lords, there is a case for overseas military students to be exposed to British military training on the protection of civilians in military doctrine. But will the Minister agree with me, in supporting the Government, that the real challenge is the political leadership, not only of the IDF but of Israel? The Israeli Defence Minister said yesterday—he was almost crowing—that Gaza is burning. Will the Minister please outline to the House what action we are taking at a political level, to Netanyahu’s Cabinet, regarding those who are perpetrating war crimes?
