• British MPs urge PM Keir Starmer to expel the Israeli ambassador.
• Letter cites Israel’s actions in Gaza as genocidal and calls for immediate sanctions.

A cross-party group of British MPs has expressed their outrage towards the UK government's inaction concerning Israel's actions in Gaza, urging Prime Minister Keir Starmer to "immediately expel" Israel's ambassador, Tzipi Hotovely. The letter denounces Israel's operations as genocidal, with lead signatory Adnan Hussain emphasizing the need for urgent action in light of what they describe as a "clear and binding legal obligation" to prevent genocide, as outlined in the Genocide Convention, according to Middle East Eye.

The strongly worded letter, which includes signatures from more than a dozen MPs across various parties including Labour and the Greens, condemns Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's declarations for a full military occupation of Gaza. The MPs expressed their horror at the resultant devastation, which has led to "the systematic starvation of its civilian population," and warned of the "countless thousands, including a staggering number of children," who have already died, according to AA and TRT Global.

The MPs further underscored the violation of international law by Israel, accusing the government of flouting the International Court of Justice’s provisional measures aimed at stopping military operations and genocidal acts. The letter calls for a **total arms embargo** on Israel, immediate humanitarian aid to Gaza, sanctions on those involved in the siege, and support for war crimes investigations. "Our silence or inaction in the face of genocide is not neutrality; it is complicity," the MPs declared, highlighting the urgent need for accountability, according to AA and TRT Global.
