Lib Dem leader Ed Davey asks Keir Starmer if he would consider direct sanctions on Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu The PM says "the only way a lasting solution" can be happen is if remaining Israeli hostages are released and aid is allowed into Gaza #PMQs

#PoliticsLive A good question by Ed Davey at #PMQs. The UK government needs to be far stronger in the face of Israel's clear war crimes. Can we really look the other way as Israel corrals two million Gazan into an open-air prison?

History will judge Starmer's position on this very harshly

There is no #GenocideinGaza we reject that. #Israel needs our cast iron support in #Gaza.

If you are so done with the two main parties I get it, but why would you want to go for Farage over Davey. Davey is clearly a good guy and cares about people. Surly vote Lib Dem.

@BBCNews For Starmer it’s all about the hostages. Nothing about the genocide, the 60,000+ Palestinians murdered, the tens of thousands maimed and now subject to collective deliberate starvation by Israel. We see whose side he is on

Thanks @EdwardJDavey , well said. Very poor answer from @Keir_Starmer - asking for accountability from a government that knows exactly what it's doing doesn't cut it. How is the UK going to HOLD Netanyahu accountable? @LibDems @LDFPalestine

We purposely press the pause whilst the Lib leader is on. His sanctimony is too much to bear.

@BBCNews He wouldn’t do that. The PM is spineless

@BBCNews #politicslive Tory on the panel, with hollier then thou 😝🤪trying to troll Labour🤪pl ! His party’s record of broken promises R legendary to say the least 👎giving their rich pals breaks at every level 😵ALL THESE MILLIONAIRE PALS OF HIS 👆 PAY UR FAIR TAXES FOR GODS SAKE 👆👆👆

Ed Davey raises a bold but necessary question. Starmer’s response echoes diplomacy, but without accountability, calls for peace risk sounding hollow. Principles must apply to all sides if lasting justice is the goal. #PMQs #Gaza
