Ellie Chowns, MP for North Herefordshire said: “Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is a war criminal who should be in front of a judge at the Hague, not being applauded by the US Congress.
“Tragically, Prime Minister Netanyahu has strong, political incentives for the war to continue. If we are to bring about the ceasefire that is so desperately needed, we must put in place real, meaningful consequences such as targeted individual sanctions on Prime Minister Netanyahu and other leaders, including of Hamas, for failing to do so, not invite him for speeches and photo opportunities.”
