Suella Braverman should 'immediately' have the whip removed | Sir Alan Duncan

Now all the senior party officials, like Genrich Braan, Gove Dowon Tuken Hat Patel, do not believe that the settlements are illegal and that means I think we

have

the right to call them extremists, they

should

be called and by Soel Braan. To say today that there is no humanitarian problem in Gaza and that there is a lot of food and she has seen the photographs, frankly, it is so disgusting, so repulsive, so repellent, that I think you

should

immediately

take out the

whip

, hey, you ask for an embargo on Immediate weapons. and immediate clarification on whether UK components were used in that airstrike that killed aid workers earlier this week, three of them British, why is this necessary?

I

have

n't actually asked for that, but I have asked for a suspension of gun sales. I mean, I think it is now impossible for any of the Foreign Office lawyers to justify continued sales to Israel. There are clearly obvious violations in the rules governing this, so yes, sales should stop. We don't sell that much, but it is very important that if we have set the rules, we must comply with them and that is why I think it would be very difficult for any lawyer in the Foreign Office to feel comfortable advising the Foreign Secretary that these sales can actually continue with those of Sella Bran.

Right now in Israel, the former Interior Minister said I think it would be a tragic shame if we walked away from our closest ally in this region and it's also true that the October 7 attacks were the deadliest day for Israelis in history the Israeli government continues to wage war against Hamas Hamas has not released the hostages if we allow this airstrike that Israel says was a mistake to totally redefine our approach to the Middle East and our foreign policy not, but it creates an approach that has been missing I want to say this did not start on October 7 when let's be clear I deplore anti-Semitism I deplore the violence of October 7 uh and I deplore anyone who says that Israel should not exist uh those three things are very important It must always be stated, however, what which has been going on for decades is a violation of international law by the Israelis.

The Israel Defense Forces do not follow international law, in fact they support those violent settlers who go and take someone else's land in a country that is not theirs, so this gradual annexation of Palestine is the origin of this problem, but let me point out one more thing and that gets to its clearest point: there is a Carter of people at the top of the conservative party who are in complete agreement with the extremist interpretations of Israel as presented by Netanyahu and Israel's conservative friends and which dominate the thinking in Downing Street, the Foreign Office's confidence has only recently been restored with the appointment of David Cameron, but Bravoman does not believe that the settlements are illegal and I appeal to all journalists when they are interviewing someone , whether it's a politician from any party, or even, you know the board of deputies, British Jews, to say, well, excuse me, do you believe in international law and that settlements are illegal now, all the above? from the party people like genrich braan Gove dowon tuken hat Patel do not believe that the settlements are illegal and that means I think we have the right to call them extremists uh they should be called and let today soel braan say that there is no humanitarian problem in Gaza and There is a lot of food and she has seen the photographs, frankly, it is so disgusting, so repulsive, so repellent, that I think they should remove the

whip

immediately

She also called this morning for Tom Tugen Har to be fired as Security Minister. for Lord Pickles and Lord Poock to be expelled from the Lords, why if you read Tom Tart's Wikipedia page, he says that he doesn't believe in a um's resolutions regarding Israel and the settlements? Well, he is our Blum in security minister, so if our security minister particularly at a time like this, when the problem is Gaza, does not believe in international law and that settlements are illegal, he should not be minister, so if you still believe that and it's on your Wikipedia page and it's verified on it, then you should be fired. but if you repudiate it and withdraw it then maybe it can be saved, but there is a problem because for too long, for 20 years, Israel's conservative friends have ignored all the proper processes of government and ties to donor money They have very subtly basically governed our foreign policy by bypassing the Foreign Ministry to inject into thinking a particularly Netanyahu point of view in favor of settlements in Greater Israel.

I will give you two examples. One of Michael Go is introducing a sanctions bill which is denied, meaning councils can't. boycott uh products from illegal settlements, well, if there are illegal settlements, the products are illegal, so this is actually a bill against the government's own policy when we had leadership contests, it all depends, you know, there are a lot of images of this, um, from the likes of Lord. Pollak would try to obtain a promise from the leadership candidates that they would move the British embassy from Tel Aviv to Jalem. This totally contravenes all of our previous policy but it is an attempt at undue and undue influence as agents of another country on our own politics and this must be properly investigated and stopped and is perhaps the longest running scandal in British politics that has ever been mentioned .

Doesn't some of this rhetoric he's using, Mr. Alan, hurt his cause? because you're talking about some kind of nefarious influence on Ence's foreign money, you know, you also said before, you know, we should ask the board of deputies of British Jews if they believed in international law, you know, don't you see how some people could to infer from what you're saying is kind of a pretty sinister agenda or it could misrepresent you as believing something or implying something that you're not because you know when you use this kind of language in relation to Israel it's not really a jump and jump and jump to a Kind of quite dark territory now, well, what you are trying to imply without saying it because you are very sensible is that in some way I can be accused of anti-Semitism.

Following this well, that is not the case. I believe in justice for Palestine and the Palestinians, and what I oppose very strongly and passionately is that I believe that the interests of the Palestinians are being trampled on and unduly relegated to nothing by the influence at the top of our politics and I say this very open and very direct way and I don't think it can be denied now if you want to interpret it the way you have, that is an illogical and inadequate leap, I think the facts need to be analyzed, as I just said, so I want say that things are going well under David Cameron and the eyes of the world are now on Gaza, where Israeli excess is causing starvation and starvation for the better part of two million. people, but I think I would also say this: I support moderate Israelis, I support moderate Palestinians, and to some extent the Hamas attack is a failure of Western diplomacy because the whole time Netanyahu was becoming more and more extremist within your own country and was the subject of protests against the moderate Israelis as well, I absolutely mean that you have absolutely pointed out that at a time when the moderates were probably the majority in Israel and needed encouragement, there was not a single squeal by us and many other Western countries about settlement expansion in the West Bank, which of course drove out the moderate Palestinians, so the moderates in Israel were excluded, the moderates in the West Bank were losing power and you end up with this auction of extremes.
