UK Says Israel Wasn’t Behind Blast at Gaza Hospital

UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak said British intelligence and weapons experts concluded Israel wasn’t behind the deadly blast at a hospital in Gaza that the Gaza Health Ministry said killed hundreds of Palestinians last week.

“The British government judges that the explosion was likely caused by a missile or part of one that was launched from within Gaza towards Israel,” Sunak told Parliament in London on Monday – a finding that echoes those of the US and Israel. Sunak also announced an additional £20 million ($24 million) in aid for civilians in Gaza.

He will only say what the US wants him to say. Why ask him for an opinion.

Why don’t Britain share the evidence they have assessed and judged with the world

[homeground]

a useless argument that has lost the battle of public opinion

[joseviveiros]

The key word used is “likely” not definitely. What is more likely is that this was one of many Israeli rocket

[muzamilali]

We have next tony Blair out out out nothing is hidden under the sun

What the hell do you mean by our experts in the military and stuff when you have to use the term "Likely"...

Also the missreporting doesn't make sense when it's only justified for the benefit of the oppressors. You've been demonizing and making the innocence look like terrorists which also has a negative impact on every single civilians life. Like the one recently in the US. Where a 70 plus year old man who's known a family for years and had a close relationship with them was manipulized by the news and ended up stabbing a 6-year-old child to death

Why not allow an independent survey of the explosion?

People of Gaza are getting what they had chosen. They elected Hamas despite knowing their intention.
