Why it matters:
British prime minister’s rare acknowledgment of Israeli crimes against humanitarian workers comes amid mounting international outrage over the Zionist regime’s war crimes in Gaza, including the systematic targeting of medical personnel. His remarks also expose Western double standards and growing public pressure on European leaders to distance themselves from Israel’s actions.
What he's saying:
Speaking in the British Parliament in response to a question raised by an MP, Keir Starmer emphasized that a full investigation must be launched into why the Israeli army attacked the convoy of Red Crescent medics on March 23, 2025. He reiterated that the two-state solution remains the only realistic path to peace in West Asia, although he admitted that it currently appears distant.
Key points:
- 15 Palestinian Red Crescent medics were martyred in an Israeli strike on March 23, 2025.
- The attack occurred while the aid convoy was marked and had emergency lights on.
- Over 1,300 medical and emergency workers have been martyred since the start of the Zionist regime’s aggression against Gaza on October 7, 2024, the Palestinian Health Ministry in Gaza reported on Monday.
Go deeper:
This revelation adds to the growing body of documented war crimes committed by the Zionist regime in Gaza. While Western powers have long turned a blind eye to Israeli atrocities, voices of protest are now emerging from within their own parliaments and media.
