UK politicians call for sanctions on Israel as Starmer's Gaza legacy slammed Over 80 British MPs and lords have called on their government to impose comprehensive sanctions on Israel , as a collection of charities slammed outgoing prime minister Keir Starmer's legacy on Palestine . In a letter to the UK ’s foreign secretary, Yvette Cooper, the politicians urge the government to act “in line with the International Court of Justice’s advisory opinion on Israel”. This Sunday, 19 July, will mark two years since the ICJ found that Israel’s decades-long occupation of the Palestinian territories was “unlawful”, and that its “near-complete separation” of people in the occupied West Bank breached international laws concerning “racial segregation” and “apartheid”.
