Middle East

Kim Johnson Excerpts

Tuesday 14th October 2025 Commons Chamber

[The Prime Minister]

I agree that accountability and justice are important in the middle east. We are strong supporters of international law and the role that that needs to play in relation to justice in the region.

[Kim Johnson (Liverpool Riverside) (Lab)]

I welcome the Prime Minister’s statement today, and I welcome the ceasefire and the release of hostages as part of this historic but fragile peace deal. I also welcome the release of Palestinian women and children who were held in Israeli military prisons without trial. What steps will the Government take to ensure that justice and accountability is made a reality for all victims of international law violations in Israel and the Occupied Palestinian Territories?

[The Prime Minister]

I thank my hon. Friend for her question. It is important that I am clear that this Government are committed to international law and to the accountability that that brings.
