Gaza: Humanitarian Situation

Contribution

I cannot recall another conflict where the occupying and illegally invading force has used adverse weather, starvation and hypothermia as a weapon of war. The comments from those on the Opposition Front Bench were absolutely disgusting. Our compassion should be equal for Israeli civilians and Palestinian civilians. We should not differentiate in our humanity based on ethnicity or nationality. Israel has used Lavender AI systems to target and execute thousands of Palestinian children, women and men. According to the Financial Times, the IDF is now in talks to deploy 1,000 AI robots to police and potentially engage in combat in Gaza. The humanitarian crisis is only worsening, with the future of technology being used to annihilate the civilian population, while Israel’s tech sector is booming. What steps are the Government taking to ensure that the UK can no longer invest in Israeli companies or co-operate with Israel, as these tools are used to cause the misery and death of Palestinians?
