Keir Starmer’s government is guilty of aiding Israel’s war crimes with military support and political cover, experts at an unofficial inquiry suggest.

London, United Kingdom – For Nick Maynard, a British doctor who has volunteered in Gaza several times, the United Kingdom’s “silence in action” is a form of the government’s complicity in Israel’s genocide against Palestinians.

As a wave of early autumn rain poured over London on Thursday, he painted a harrowing picture of the injuries he witnessed Israel inflict on children, through aerial bombardment or gunfire, or by the deliberate restriction of life-saving infant formula and medicine.

Boys he operated on, some as young as 11 or 12, “had been clearly targeted with shootings to the abdomen and the chest”, he told Al Jazeera, on the sidelines of an unofficial inquiry examining the UK’s alleged role in Israeli war crimes.
