Starmer incurs MP’s wrath for planned Israel president meeting
- Sir Keir Starmer's planned meeting with Israeli President Isaac Herzog has been strongly criticised by Stephen Flynn.
- During Prime Minister's Questions, the SNP's Westminster leader condemned the invitation to Mr Herzog, citing his alleged call for the collective punishment of the Palestinian people.
- Flynn highlighted the dire situation in Gaza, describing it as a 'graveyard' and questioning the decision to host Mr Herzog while children starve.
- He challenged Sir Keir on whether he would extend invitations to other controversial figures such as Vladimir Putin or Benjamin Netanyahu.
- Sir Keir Starmer defended his approach, stating that he would not abandon diplomacy in the pursuit of peace.
