On 1 April, Calum Miller MO, Liberal Democrat Foreign Affairs Spokesperson, and Monica Harding MP, International Development Spokesperson, wrote to UK Foreign Secretary Yvette Cooper calling for urgent action to secure a multilaterally-backed, negotiated end to the war in Iran, and to protect lives and rights across Lebanon, the West Bank, and Gaza.

The letter warns that Netanyahu and Trump’s illegal war on Iran is unleashing chaos across the region, and raises alarm at Israel’s illegal military actions in Lebanon and the rising civilian death toll there.

The MPs also highlight Israel’s continued expansion of illegal settlements in the West Bank and ongoing detention of thousands of Palestinians without charge or trial, stressing that these practices violate international law and severely compromise prospects for a just and lasting peace.

On Gaza, the letter urges the UK Government to stop sitting on the sidelines and take a leading role in pressing for humanitarian access and meaningful steps towards a genuine pathway to peace.
