Keir Starmer will meet Israeli president Isaac Herzog as MPs express ‘grave concern’ at the visit – UK politics live | Politics

A senior manager in Tiktok helped to write the worker manifesto while working at China’s technology company. James LyonsLast week, Keir Starmer’s director left his post as strategic communication, Written in LinkedIn Last year, he was still asked to help the party write election words while working for the social media platform. Kiran Stacey There is a story here.

Good morning. Keir Starmer is meeting with Isaac Herzog, the president of Israel at Download Street today. The visit was extremely controversial, even before bombing Israel’s Qatar on a targeted strike against Hamas officials.

More than 60 parliamentarians, including workers’ deputies, SNP deputies, greenery and independents, signed a letter to Starmer in the visit to Starmer, because the presidency in Israel was a great ceremony point, although Herzog’s past comments and actions were supported for the country’s genocide in Gaza.

Here is the text of the letter coordinated by the workers’ deputy Andy McDonald.

And the green party went further. Zack PolanskiHis new leader asked Herzog to be arrested. HE in question:

President Herzog became a criminal partner while the Israeli government was engaged in an ongoing genocide in Gaza. Anyone should be arrested, accused of war crimes and confronts justice.

To meet a potential war criminal against the United Kingdom is another demonstration of how this workers’ government plays a role in the ongoing genocide in Gaza. At the same time, it serves as a brutal insult to those who mourned hundreds of thousands of Palestinians who are faced with thousands of innocent life and ongoing violence and hunger.

Refusing Herzog into custody can be seen as a violation of the Geneva convention, which clearly demonstrates that states have legal responsibility to prevent civilians from being targeted. When this is violated, individuals should be prosecuted and applied to Herzog.

Like Eleni Area In his story, Herzog said, “Previously clashed with Netanyahu about democratic and judicial changes, but extensively supported the military campaign in Gaza”. Says:

The President of the Israeli drew attention to a statement that all Palestinians in Gaza claim to be “definitely responsible for the Hamas attack of 7 October 2023. [Palestinian] The nation outside… responsible. It is not true that this discourse is not aware of civilians. ”

Starmer will undoubtedly discuss it in PMQS.
