    What is UK doing regarding the criminal activities and war crimes committed by Israel against the people of Gaza.

    It is a shame on anyone to stay silent, speacially in a position of power like a forign minister.

    I want to be able to visit my family, which I am not allowed to, because of the Israeli imposed closure if Gaza, denying them the most basic human rights. It is disgracefull, that you are allowing it to happen while watching silently.
