Lord Singh of Wimbledon (CB)

Speaking in the House of Lords on 26 November 2024

Debate

International Aid Workers: Israel and the Occupied Palestinian Territories

Contribution

My Lords, the United Nations aid agencies, the International Criminal Court and human rights organisations such as Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch all say that what is happening in Gaza and the West Bank is genocide. The Pope says it is genocide. In the circumstances, does the Minister agree that to talk of humanitarian aid while supplying weapons to assist in the genocide is nothing short of hypocrisy?
