Labour — Stratford and Bow

Speaking in the House of Commons on 1 September 2025

Debate

Middle East

Contribution

The International Association of Genocide Scholars has passed a resolution stating that “Israel’s policies and actions in Gaza meet the legal definition of genocide”. I understand that the Foreign Secretary does not comment on these matters from the Dispatch Box, so I instead want to ask what action and efforts this Government are taking, alongside international partners, to ensure that evidence is collected and that matters are in hand to ensure that legal avenues can be pursued to address allegations of war crimes, crimes against humanity and genocide in Gaza?
