Calls are getting laude in the British House of Commons regarding Palestine and their plight, with a number of lawmakers demanding David Lammy, newly-appointed Foreign Secretary end ties with the Zionist regime and recognize an intendent Palestinian state.
In a joint letter addressed to Lammy, lawmakers referred to the high number of martyrs in Gaza and the catastrophic humanitarian situation there in the face of over nine months of Israel’s bombing and shelling campaign, calling for sanctions against Zionist leaders and the cessation of arms cooperation with this regime.
We, the signatories of this letter, have been chosen by the voters to address their concerns about the current catastrophic situation in Gaza, described by the International Court of Justice as a case of ‘plausible genocide’, mentioned former Labour Party leader Jeremy Corbyn in a copy of the letter posted on social media.
The letter signed by several MPs demands the UK government to suspend arms sales to Israel, impose sanctions on those inciting genocide against Palestinians, and resume financial aid to the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestinian Refugees (UNRWA). Additionally, they suggest halting discussions on a UK-Israel trade agreement.
Furthermore, the MPs urge the immediate recognition of a Palestinian state and call for the UK to use its influence on the UN Security Council to advocate for a ceasefire in Gaza. They also request the release of hostages, compliance with International Court of Justice rulings, and ceasing opposition to the ICC arrest warrant for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
This pressure from lawmakers comes as Lammy visited occupied Palestine for the first time since becoming Foreign Secretary, where he expressed the new government’s commitment to establishing a ceasefire in Gaza and providing aid to Palestinians.
