‘Regrettable that Israeli gov’t is acting with impunity’: British MP
Israel has been accused of acting with “impunity” as British MPs raise concerns that two parliamentarians were stopped from entering the country.
Labour MP Sarah Owen said it was “regrettable that the Israeli government is now acting with impunity”.
“They seem to be accountable to no international law. Enabled by the US president, they continue to bomb hospitals and schools, killing aid workers and thousands of Palestinian civilians.
“Today, Breaking the Silence reported further executions as well as the destruction of homes by the [Israeli army], and now this, banning members of our parliament from entering.”

Israel prevents entry of polio vaccines into Gaza
Gaza’s Health Ministry says Israel is preventing the entry of polio vaccines into Gaza, threatening the gains made in seven months of efforts to combat the spread of an epidemic.
On World Health Day, the ministry said sanitary conditions across Gaza were deteriorating amid the disruption of water pumps and the ban on food and medical aid. It added that Palestinians, especially children, were exposed to malnutrition as well as the spread of diarrhoea, skin diseases and epidemics.
