Scotland’s first minister warned Thursday that Israel’s planned occupation of Gaza City “only deepens” the genocide unfolding in the Palestinian enclave.
"(Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin) Netanyahu’s actions in Gaza amount to genocide, and the ground invasion of Gaza City only intensifies it," John Swinney said on the U.S. social media company X.
He said that the world "cannot look away" and stressed the need for "serious and urgent action" to put a stop to this.
"The U.K. Government must recall Parliament, sanction Israel, and end all arms sales now," he added.
Earlier this month, Israel’s Security Cabinet approved a plan to occupy Gaza City in the northern part of the enclave.
