MP Malthouse Condemns Israel, Accuses Government of Inaction

The House of Commons witnessed a heated debate on June 4th, 2025, when Conservative MP Kit Malthouse delivered a scathing critique of Israeli actions in the ongoing conflict. Malthouse's statement painted a grim picture of starving Palestinians being lured into combat zones, accusing Israel of replacing UNRWA's food distribution network with a 'shooting gallery, an abattoir.' He directly stated, “Israel had “replaced the Unrwa distribution system with a shooting gallery, an abattoir”, accusing it of luring starving Palestinians “through combat zones to be shot at”. His words sparked immediate controversy and raised concerns about the UK government's response, or lack thereof. The Minister's response was muted, focusing on the Labour government's different approach to the conflict. Malthouse's speech highlights the urgent need for international intervention and protection for vulnerable populations caught in the crossfire.
