Four members of the UK Parliament, believed to be government ministers, are among those accused of complicity in Israeli war crimes against Palestinian people in Gaza.

Also accused by the International Centre for Justice for Palestinians (ICJP) are nine UK citizens who are said to have fought as soldiers with the Israel Defence Force.

The ICJP has handed in a 70-page dossier of evidence to the Metropolitan Police’s war crimes unit, describing it as just the first tranche of what it expects to be a much larger body of information – along with hard drives.

The ICJP had previously issued Labour MPs Sir Keir Starmer, Emily Thornberry and David Lammy with a public notice of intention to prosecute any UK officials allegedly complict with war crimes, accusing them of defending of Israel’s withholding of food, water and electricity to Gaza.

ICJP director Tayab Ali and others announced the move at a press conference on Tuesday (January 16):

The Metropolitan Police war crimes unit must now examine the material to determine whether to carry out a formal investigation.

What’s the betting that the allegations against any senior politicians are ignored?
