British Foreign Secretary David Lemmy strongly criticized the Israeli government in his address to parliament and expressed concern over the famine in Gaza.
According to the International News Agency, the British Foreign Secretary said that there is no natural disaster in Gaza, but rather a man-made famine of the 21st century.
David Lemmy added that Israel’s blocking of aid to Gaza is seriously damaging its reputation internationally, especially as the younger generation is viewing it terrifyingly.
British Foreign Secretary David Lemmy warned Israel that the ongoing military operations in Gaza will not bring any further benefits, but will only prolong the crisis.
He called for an immediate ceasefire and an agreement to release the hostages, saying that Britain and its partner countries cannot allow further operations in Gaza.
The British Foreign Secretary also announced that Britain will soon recognize a Palestinian state, and that this move is neither tantamount to rewarding Hamas nor against Israel’s security.
David Lammy, while urging Israel to cease hostilities, said that security can only be achieved through secure borders rather than permanent occupation.
On this occasion, the Foreign Secretary further said that seriously ill and injured children from Gaza will be brought to the UK with their parents for treatment. The first group of which is due to arrive soon.
