The Liberal Party welcomes the call for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza, made by the foreign secretary David Lammy on his recent visit to Israel.
Whilst Israel has every right to respond to the brutal Hamas attack of the 7th October to defend its boarders and citizens, the protracted campaign has long exhausted any justification on the grounds of self- defence.
After 9 months of bitter and increasingly indiscriminate bombing and shelling, the population of Gaza has been reduced to a state of destitution, hunger and despair, with its medical facilities and civilian infrastructure all but broken.
The Liberal Party again calls for an internationally broken ceasefire, a resumption of humanitarian aid and a release of hostage, actions which are long overdue in stopping the spiral of violence.
