UK government ignored foreign office concerns over Israeli war crimes

Court papers recently revealed the foreign office warned the UK government about Israel’s actions in Gaza, following its International Humanitarian Law assessment. It stated “the volume of strikes, total death toll, as well as proportion of those who are children raise serious concerns” and “the government’s current inability to come to a clear assessment on Israel’s record of compliance with International Humanitarian Law poses significant policy risks”.

However, the government hid this information from parliament and insisted it was confident that Israel was complying with international humanitarian law (because Israel said it was) so they could continue sending it bombs. Isn’t that reassuring?
