Mr David Lammy

Labour — Tottenham

Speaking in the House of Commons on 20 May 2025

Debate

Israel and the Occupied Palestinian Territories

Contribution

That is a crude caricature of a very serious issue. I took a decision back in September in relation to international humanitarian law in suspending arms sales that could be used in Gaza because these are very serious issues—I understand the issues that are before the ICC and the ICJ, and they are very serious. It is because votes in this Parliament helped to set up those mechanisms and made us part of them that I leave it to them to make the necessary determinations that they must properly make.
