The foreign secretary is to welcome the US vice-president to Chevening, his grace-and-favour residence, and Gaza is expected to be on their agenda

In a statement about the latest decision from the Israeli government, the independent MP and former Labour leader, Jeremy Corbyn, has restated his claim that the UK is complicit in genocide.

If the government was truly horrified by Israel’s occupation of Gaza, it would stop supplying them with the weapons they need to carry it out.

The prime minister can condemn Israel’s plans all he wants. He cannot hide the truth: his government is complicit in genocide.

The decision of the Israeli government to seize control of Gaza City is completely and utterly unacceptable. It will create even more human suffering for the Palestinian people and further escalate the conflict. The international community must stop Israel and secure a ceasefire.
