Turin, 21 July (LaPresse) – ‘We strongly condemn the killing of civilians trying to meet their basic needs.’ This was stated by British Foreign Secretary David Lammy, speaking in the House of Commons on the situation in the Middle East. The BBC reports. ‘The Israeli government must answer what possible military justification there can be for attacks that have killed desperate and starving children,’ he explained. Lammy then asked what immediate action Israel is taking to end ‘this series of horrors’ and what it will do to hold those responsible to account. The minister said he supports Israel's security and its right to exist, but believes that its actions are ‘causing untold damage to Israel's reputation around the world and undermining its long-term security.’ Benjamin Netanyahu ‘should listen to the Israeli people, 82% of whom desperately want a ceasefire,’ she continued, adding that the Israeli prime minister should also listen to the families of the hostages.
