MP suggests Israeli ambassador should face expulsion amid war in Gaza Israeli ambassador Tzipi Hotovely should face expulsion from the UK amid efforts to end alleged war crimes in Gaza, an MP has suggested.
“The only solution that we’ve had in the past is a total isolation of a country – economically and militarily – to prevent them performing war crimes in the way Israel has,” Mr McDonnell, who had the Labour whip suspended last year for backing an SNP motion on welfare policy, told the Commons.
Former shadow chancellor John McDonnell called for Israel’s isolation “economically and militarily”, and said UK authorities could play a “leading role” in that process.
It’s that we have an Israeli ambassador who’s an advocate of ‘Greater Israel’, refuses to recognise the Palestinian state, defies all the UN resolutions that have been passed about how we can secure that peace, and she still remains in this country.
“I think this Government could take a leading role in that isolation of Israel to bring it some form of negotiated settlement, but can I just say one thing that grates with me in particular?
