She said: “These acts are no more than a cynical attempt to exploit the suffering, the pain and the turmoil being experienced by those people in Palestine right now. She said Tehran was intent on bringing about “as much instability as possible” in the Middle East – but said there was “not going to be a military solution to the conflict in the Middle East”.The MP called for a “political and diplomatic” response, adding: “We need de-escalating and the causes of conflict to be reviewed. Now the biggest continuing cause of conflict is the siege of Gaza, hence the need for a ceasefire.
“More broadly though, as I’ve said repeatedly from this despatch box, urge Israel to abide by international humanitarian law, we’ve been very clear that too many civilians have been killed and we’re deeply concerned about the impact on the civilian population in Gaza and our diplomatic efforts are geared towards alleviating that suffering and I’ll continue to raise these points with prime minister Netanyahu when I speak to him.
