Speaking in the House of Commons on 2 April 2025

Debate

Gaza: Israeli Military Operations

Contribution

We have heard Ministers refer many times to the risk of breaches of international humanitarian law. On the one occasion, on 17 March, when the Foreign Secretary admitted that withholding aid to Gaza was “a breach of international law”—[Official Report, 17 March 2025; Vol. 764, c. 41.], he had to retract the admission and refer again to a risk of breaches. If the recent attacks on aid workers constitute a further risk of breaches, will the Minister outline what would constitute an actual breach?
