Israel must abide by international humanitarian law – UK minister

UK Minister of State for Foreign Commonwealth and Development Affairs for Middle East Lord Tariq Ahmad has said Israel must abide by international humanitarian law (IHL).

“Shocked that civilians taking refuge in a church in northern Gaza have been killed & others injured. A further tragedy in Gaza. Israel must abide by IHL. Civilians must be protected. A sustainable ceasefire, leading to sustainable peace, is urgently needed,” he posted on his X account following Israel’s strikes on Gaza church.
