Speaking in the House of Commons on 28 October 2024

Debate

Middle East

Contribution

After a weekend of relentless Israeli attacks on a besieged population in northern Gaza, the United Nations has demanded that “such blatant disregard for basic humanity and for the laws of war must stop”, adding that the “entire population” of northern Gaza is “at risk of dying”. Unless the Foreign Secretary believes that the UN is lying, exaggerating or embellishing the situation in northern Gaza, there can be no basis whatsoever for the UK to continue arms sales to Israel. Is the UN lying, exaggerating or embellishing the truth of what is going on in northern Gaza right now?
