Keir Starmer refuses to call Gaza slaughter ‘a genocide’

Labour leader Keir Starmer refused to call Israel’s murder of at least 37,000 Palestinians “genocide” on LBC yesterday.

Israel stands accused of genocide at the International Court of Justice, whose latest ruling ordered Tel Aviv to immediately halt its operation in Rafah, where over a million Palestinians had sought refuge from the war before it was invaded on May 6.
