His last statement took place after initially claimed that unmarked vehicles were fired in the dark. A video recovered from the mobile phone from one of the people killed later appeared, showing ambulances and clearly marked firefighters who apparently contradict this assertion.
Sarah Champion, president of the International Development Committee of the British Parliament, told Starmer’s humanitarian workers that Israel was not taken into account and wondered if the United Kingdom would put pressure on the 15 humanitarian workers killed.
After supporting an investigation, Starmer added: “We must be absolutely clear that we are not only talking about this isolated incident. There has not been enough help to enter Gaza at high speed and pace for a very long time.”
The International Criminal Court in November published an arrest warrant against Israeli President Benjamin Netanyahu for having allegedly used “famine as a method of war”, as well as other war crimes.
The Prime Minister also said that the United Kingdom had to “set our foots in the door” to a two-state solution for Israel and for the Palestinians, even if it seemed to be “distant” today.
Starmer has traveled an uncomfortable line on the Israeli-Palestine conflict. He upset Netanyahu and some supporters of Israel by interrupting certain arms sales to Israel, but is also criticized by the Pro-Palestinian movement on the support that the British army provides to Israel and the weapons it continues to export to the nation.
