London-Saba:
British MP Mohammed Iqbal expressed on Sunday his fears of his country's involvement and being taken to international courts, due to its complicity in the war of extermination in the Gaza Strip, with the Zionist entity, in which tens of thousands of Palestinians were martyred and hundreds of thousands of others were injured.
British media outlets quoted Iqbal, one of the members of the "Independent Alliance" group formed by five independent members of parliament who support Gaza, in the British parliament, as saying "This is enough. How many dead should there be before the British government stops its direct and indirect support for Israel, which commits war crimes?"
He stressed the "necessity of preventing "Israel" from killing innocent civilians throughout the Gaza Strip and the West Bank", calling on "those complicit in these crimes to end their support for Israel."
Iqbal added "They do not want to call it genocide, but it is genocide, and they do not want to call it mass murder, but it is mass murder."
He pointed out that his alliance "raises this issue with many MPs from different parties in the British Parliament at every opportunity."
Iqbal called on the British government to "stop making speeches", stressing the "need for it to take action."
He pointed out that "it is not enough to suspend only 30 licenses out of 350 licenses to export weapons to Israel."
Iqbal called on his country's government to "stop sending F-35 aircraft parts to the Zionist entity, because these aircraft are the most common killing machines."
On September 2, British Foreign Secretary David Lammy announced that his country would suspend the sale of some weapons to the occupying entity, indicating that about 30 out of 350 licenses would be suspended in this regard.
Meanwhile, British Defense Minister John Healey stated that his country's decision to suspend 30 out of 350 arms export licenses to the occupying entity does not change London's support for "Tel Aviv's right to defend itself," as he put it.
International human rights organizations and non-governmental organizations criticized Britain's decision to impose a partial arms embargo on the occupation, describing it as "insufficient" and "taken too late." They called for a complete halt to arms supplies.
Iqbal asked "The decision-makers, the Prime Minister, the Foreign Minister, the entire government and members of Parliament who defend Israel's right to commit genocide, what will they tell their children and grandchildren when they grow up?".
He denounced the statements of British Prime Minister Keir Starmer, who said: "What happened in Gaza is not genocide."
He said "The United Nations, the International Court of Justice, independent organizations and rapporteurs have confirmed that what happened in Gaza meets the definition of genocide."
He added: "Genocide is not a matter of numbers, it is a matter of intent to commit it."
He continued, saying: "I fear that when these war criminals are tried, the British government will be tried for its complicity in these crimes.
