Green Party MP Ellie Chowns has called for an urgent recall of Parliament to debate Benjamin Netanyahu's plan for Israeli control of Gaza City. Chowns warned that the proposed military action, which includes demilitarisation and the establishment of a new civil administration, could result in catastrophic civilian suffering. She urged the government to take immediate measures such as sanctions and suspending military cooperation with Israel, and to publish its risk assessment of genocide in Gaza. Other political leaders, including the British Prime Minister and the German chancellor, have also criticised the escalation, expressing concerns that it will lead to more bloodshed and hinder efforts for a ceasefire and the release of hostages.
