SNP comment on ICJ ruling

Commenting on the ICJ ruling on Gaza, SNP Westminster Leader Stephen Flynn MP said:

"Rishi Sunak and Keir Starmer can no longer remain silent on the atrocities being committed in Gaza. They must back an immediate ceasefire now.

"Westminster cannot just turn a blind eye to the deaths of thousands of children and civilians. There must be an end to the collective punishment of the Palestinian people, Israeli hostages must be released - and inspectors must be allowed into Gaza to investigate war crimes.

“The Prime Minister must come before the House of Commons outlining both his support for the court’s ruling and what action he intends to take, as a key ally of Israel, to safeguard civilian lives.”
