(Jewish News) Keir Starmer has criticised an MP elected on a pro-Gaza ticket for failing to reference either Hamas or the October 7 terror attack after he quizzed him in the Commons.
During PMQs on Wednesday Ayoub Khan, the independent MP for Birmingham Perry Barr, told MPs: “The intent of the Israeli government and the Israel Defence Forces has been explicit in words and actions over the past 400 days, with more than 45,000 innocent men, women and children killed.”
The MP, previously exposed by Jewish News over his attempt, when a local councillor, to question the extent of the crimes committed by Hamas during the October massacre, then added: “The foreign secretary denied that a genocide has even taken place, and suggested that the Israeli army had not yet killed enough Palestinians to constitute a genocide.”
