“These actions confirm that Israel is a rogue state” say Greens after overnight bombing of Iran
Responding to the bombing of Iran by Israel overnight, Green Party MP, Ellie Chowns, said:
“The targeted assassinations and widespread bombing of Iran by Israel represent a deeply alarming escalation.
“These actions confirm that Israel is a rogue state operating outside international law. Israel can no longer continue to enjoy the diplomatic and trade privileges they have as part of the international community.
“The UK must now urgently clarify whether it knew about these attacks in advance, urgently summon the Israeli ambassador to express the UK’s deep concern about Israel’s military actions and state unequivocally that it will cease military support for Israel, including arms sales and the training of Israeli military personnel.
She continued, “Iran’s nuclear brinkmanship is a threat to peace in the wider region and cannot be tolerated. Now more than ever, we need cool heads in a multilateral diplomatic process to look to address Iran’s growing nuclear threat. The unilateral bombing of Iran by Israel does nothing to make us safer and risks full-scale war.”
