In a dramatic turn of events during Wednesday’s prime minister’s questions, Member of Parliament Stephen Flynn urged Prime Minister Rishi Sunak to endorse a ceasefire between Israel and Hamas. This plea comes on the heels of an ITV News report that unveiled distressing footage from Gaza, showing the moment an unarmed Palestinian man carrying a white flag was shot dead in what was supposed to be a ‘safe zone.’
Flynn, addressing Mr Sunak, condemned the act as a potential war crime, stating, “Prime Minister, such an act constitutes a war crime, does it not?” Sunak, in response, stressed the importance of respecting international humanitarian law and protecting civilians.
