Mr Will Forster

Liberal Democrat — Woking

Speaking in the House of Commons on 16 December 2024

Debate

Israel and Palestine

Contribution

I completely agree with my hon. Friend. We must support the International Criminal Court investigations and uphold whatever it finds. The Prime Minister of Israel bears criminal responsibility, but it does not stop with him. The former Israeli Defence Minister, Gallant, is also under investigation. That brings me to the urgent need for targeted sanctions against those in Israel’s leadership who are directly fuelling the conflict and undermining the chance for peace. Israel’s current Finance Minister, Smotrich, is a prominent advocate of settlement expansion, opposes Palestinian statehood, and supports the full annexation of the west bank.
