However, Health Secretary Wes Streeting said that the Israeli government should respond to the allegations that have been leveling about its actions in Gaza.

“I think he should respond to the allegations of genocide in the Israeli Government,” Times told Radio, “War Crimes, Ethnic Cleaning and Genocide.”

“I think when we see so many evidence of the atrocities carried out by the Israeli army, IDF (Israeli defense forces) need to explain how the world is the most moral army.
