A cross-party coalition of UK lawmakers, including a Labour minister, is demanding the government release its genocide assessments on Gaza and justify continued arms exports to "Israel" amid mounting legal scrutiny.

A UK Government minister has defied the Labour Government by publicly denouncing its handling of the ongoing Israeli war on Gaza and condemning its continued arms exports to “Israel” as “abhorrent".

Labour peer and Transport Minister Peter Hendy joined over 60 cross-party MPs and peers, excluding Reform UK, in signing a letter organized by Amnesty International. The letter calls on the government to immediately publish all its assessments regarding the risk of genocide in Gaza.

Signatories include Stephen Flynn and all SNP MPs at Westminster, Labour’s Andy McDonald and Nadia Whittome, Conservatives Kit Malthouse and Sayeeda Warsi, Liberal Democrats Alistair Carmichael and Angus Macdonald, Plaid Cymru’s Liz Saville-Roberts and Ben Lake, Greens Carla Denyer and Adrian Ramsay, and independents such as Jeremy Corbyn.
