@middleeasteye: British member of parliament Richard Burgon challenges his government's stance on Israel's actions in Gaza, questioning whether the UK will demand a ceasefire if Israel receives orders from the International Criminal Court. Burgon asserts that Israel is committing daily war crimes, addressing issues such as forced displacement and the targeting of healthcare facilities and journalists. With South Africa taking legal action, he urges the UK government to take a stand and support an immediate suspension of Israeli military operations. The International Court of Justice is set to conduct public hearings at the Peace Palace in The Hague, its seat, on January 11 and 12, 2024, as part of the proceedings initiated by South Africa against Israel on December 29, 2023.
