British and Israeli officials trade fierce criticism after Keir Starmer’s threat of sanctions over attacks on Gaza

Independent MP Jeremy Corbyn to introduce a parliamentary bill calling for an independent public inquiry into the UK’s involvement in Israel’s actions in Gaza since October 2023.

The aid getting into Gaza is nowhere near enough for the enclave's two million people, some of whom are "visibly starving", a UN official has said. Meanwhile, a UK minister says the government "does not recognise" Benjamin Netanyahu's attack on the prime minister.

The British government says it is suspending free trade negotiations with Israel and has leveled new sanctions targeting West Bank settlements as it criticizes Israel's military actions in Gaza.

Diplomats from Ireland, France, Germany and Turkey were also travelling with the delegation in the city of Jenin when the gunshots rang out on Wednesday.

Israelis, for the most part, appeared unsettled by Britain’s action. The nation remains split between those who believe the war must end and those who feel it should continue until Hamas is defeated — but both sides of that debate agree on one thing: that their country has been placed in an impossible situation.
