"Erm, it might take a few weeks or perhaps months to find an excuse not to uphold international law but rest working on it".

[Kinbstdds]

The video title is wrong, he’s not the UKs Lammy, he’s Israel’s.

[khoi_khoe]

Its a circus, not a parliament. Ridiculous!

[davidtaylor]

Erm erm erm, erm erm erm but we are complicit in genocide

[suibian]

No journalists in Gaza?? Hope karma gets him
Saying there is no journalists there when hundreds of them have been targeted and murdered for exposing the truth
Without them we really wouldnt know anything that's happening

[jesusk]

Did he just say there are no journalists in Gaza?

[lewisg]

Must be a difficult position to be in. To have to arrest someone that you've denied is committing atrocities to the point that you've actually been assisting them in those acts. Awkward... Might explain all the er's and umm's. the creeping realisation that you to may have blood on your hand to..

[Vojem]

Why is everyone saying "of course we must uphold international law" whilst simulatenously digging so fucking deeply into legislations which would allow a loophole for bibi

[healthypostnatalbody]

He's deliberately ignoring that the UK has been doing "intelligence flights" over Gaza for the past year. He knows how much aid is getting in and he understands very well that when people are dying of starvation looting is likely to occur.

[Sandra-rl]

Theres no children either, that's why they themselves say It there are no schools .

[pamela]

Good job he knows the word erm ...What a complete imbecile, without a written prepared script by someone to read from he shows how unsuited he is for this role. Embarrassment to the country every time he opens his mouth.

[laurenceegan]

It isn't a "notes verbial", it's a "note verbale".

Hard to say whether he's simply playing dumb or not, but he is a trained human rights lawyer (and, to quote Francesca Albanese, the UN Special Rapporteur on the Occupied Territories, "a genocide denier").

137 JOURNALISTS KILLED IN Is there no journalists left😢😢😢😢😢😢

[osmansuka]

ERM ERM ERM ERM am not comfortable with the question u asked 😂😂😂😂

[md-slio]

give me one reason why netinyahu should not be arrested

[PMMac-ln]

Shame on him and he the UK Foreign Secretary! He should have attended the Rory Peck Awards in London last Thursday and he'd have seen for himself the awe-inspiring award winning work of brave freelance journalists and camera operators who are not only risking their lives in Gaza to bring the world some of the most gut wrenching stories that have ever been reported - while at the same time never knowing if they'll see their families at the end of each day because they're living it too.

[Yourstruly]

Erm erm is because he’s thinking what to say so as not to offend the Zionists or be called antisemitic 😂 have some balls man!

[MeroMero-fy]

Stop occupation, stop apartheid, stop zionism, stop genocide!

[max-ibph]

One says erm erm erm and the other one says bring home the sausages who on Earth have the UK voted for

[skasteve]

Erm. I believe that Starmer and Lammy do have the right to defend themselves in front of an ICJ judge. The are both lawyers after all.
