Pro-Gaza MP sparks outrage by blaming Israel for Bibas family deaths in Gaza JLC condemns Iqbal Mohamed MP over social media post

(Jewish News) An independent MP elected on a pro-Gaza platform has shared a social media post alleging that Israel was responsible for the deaths of the Bibas family, who were taken hostage in Gaza.
