LONDON: Experts in the fields of international law, medicine, history, politics and journalism have unanimously condemned UK policy on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict at the Gaza Tribunal, which took place in London on Sept. 4-5.
The tribunal was chaired by independent MP Jeremy Corbyn, former leader of the governing Labour Party.
Speakers examined allegations of genocide and war crimes against Israel, and the UK’s potential complicity in them.
At the conclusion of the tribunal on Friday, experts condemned British complicity, including through regular weapons supplies to Israel and the use of surveillance flights over Gaza, through which intelligence is shared with the Israeli military.
Shahd Hammouri, a lecturer in international law and one of the co-chairs of the tribunal, said: “We’ve seen the evidence, the blood on their hands. Accountability is coming. We’ve given history a repository of how British complicity has been designed.”
