The United Kingdom has suspended conversations about a commercial agreement with Israel, convened the country’s ambassador and imposed new sanctions on the holiday settlers, since the Foreign Secretary David Lammy described the military escalation in Gaza as “morally.”
The measure follows hunger warnings in Gaza after Israel launched a new military operation on the weekend.
There were burning exchanges with the conservative Secretary of Foreign Affairs of the Shadow, give me Priti Patel, who suggested that the actions would be welcome by Hamas, but also the so -called angry so that the government goes beyond.
In response, Israel’s foreign spokesman said that external pressure “will not divert Israel from his way to defend his existence.”
World experts have warned about an imminent famine because the Israeli government has blocked food supplies, fuel and medicine in Gaza during the last 11 weeks.
The Israeli government has already warned that it must end its military expansion “atrocious” and “immediately allow humanitarian aid to enter Gaza” in a joint declaration of the leaders of the United Kingdom, Canada and France on Monday.
Israel said he had allowed five trucks to bring humanitarian aid to the territory, but the UN humanitarian chief said this was “a fall in the ocean of what is urgently needed.”
The UN said that he had now given permission to send around 100 help trucks to Gaza.
Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer described the current “intolerable” situation, saying that “humanitarian aid must enter the rhythm.”
In the common ones, there were shouts of “shame” of the parliamentarians when Lammy established how an Israeli minister had said that the last operations would be “cleaning Gaza”, “destroying what remains” and relocating the Palestinians “to third countries.”
“We must call this what it is,” he told parliamentarians. “It is extremism, it is dangerous, it is repellent, it is monstrous and condemns it in the stronger terms.”
Lammy said Israel had suffered “an atrocious attack” on October 7, 2023 and the United Kingdom had always supported the country’s right to defend itself.
However, the Foreign Secretary said that the Israeli government had established a “morally unjustifiable” and “completely counterproductive” path that would not bring hostages safely.
On the other hand, the defendant of the government led by Benjamin Netanyahu or “isolate Israel from his friends and partners around the world,” since he announced that negotiations on a free trade agreement had suspended the leg.
The Israeli ambassador has been summoned to meet with the Minister of the Middle East, Hamish Falconer, to convey the message that “the actions of the Netanyahu government have made it necessary,” he said.
Contenting the violence of the settlers, Lammy also established sanctions, including asset freezing and travel prohibitions, against three individuals and four companies “who are carrying out atrocious abuses of human rights.”
However, the secretary of foreigners of the conservative shadow, Dame Priti, said: “Strong words will do little to solve the real challenges that are taking place and the suffering we are seeing that it takes place in the day.”
He added that “it should be the cause of the group” that the actions of the United Kingdom government had been “backed by Hamas, a terrorist organization.”
After the statement, there were calls for the Foreign Secretary to go further, even of Backbenchers of Labor, who raised the possibility of a violation of international law.
Abtisam Mohamed, Sheffield Central’s Labor, said Netanyahu had made “an explicit admission that Israeli officials intend to carry out ethnic cleaning.”
Lammy said that the suspension of some weapons sales to Israel had assured that “none of us is congratulations in any act that violates international humanitarian law,” but had announced new measures because it was still.
“That’s why [Falconer] He has summoned the Israeli ambassador to make our position clear, “he added.
Dr. Rosena Allin-Khan, the Labor Deputy for Tooting, also described the “food weapon” as “morally resumable” and asked that an embargo on weapons be imposed, as well as sanctions on Israeli officials.
Lammy gave an “absolute commitment” that the United Kingdom government would take more measures “if necessary in the next few days and weeks.”
Israeli foreign spokesman Ears Marmorstein responded challenging Lammy’s statement on X, saying that decisions about sanctions were “unjustified.”
“External pressure will not divert Israel from its way to defend its existence and security against enemies that see their destruction,” he said.
Marorstein also suggested that the United Kingdom government had not advanced in the legs in a commercial agreement “at all” before the announcement in the common ones.
“If, due to antiisraele obsession and domestic political considerations, the British government is willing to damage the British economy, that is, it is its own prerogative,” he added.
