Mhairi Black demands answers for Gaza mass graves at PMQs

yeah it's leader of the SNP maray black may I join in Wishing the Jewish Community a happy Passover and also in sending my condolences to the families of of family and loved ones of frankfield two years ago when Mass Graves were discovered in Ukraine this house United in condemnation and rightly treated these Graves as evidence of war crimes which Russia must be made to answer for y yesterday Palestinian officials uncovered two Mass Graves outside the bombed hospitals in Gaza these Graves also constitute as a war crime don't they Deputy Prime Minister well of course we would expect the the democratic government of Israel to investigate any allegations of misconduct and that's exactly what they do and it's exactly what the foreign sec and the Prime Minister urge them to do but I find it quite extraordinary that she seeks to draw parallels between the legitimate war of self-defense of Israel and the conduct of Russia black 300 bodies including the elderly and the injured some of which had been stripped naked mutilated with their hands tied behind their backs the UK's own arms policy states that if there is even a risk that war crimes may be taking place then that is reason enough to Halt the sale of arms given all we know why then is the prime minister yet to do soy prime minister well we continue to urge the Israeli government to investigate any allegations of misconduct the difference though is that we can trust the Israeli government a democratically elected government to properly investigate those things and of course we keep the advice under review the foreign secretary has recently made it clear that he has conducted uh a determination and has not changed his advice regarding export licenses and I think that is the correct decision
