UK Middle East minister appears to accept 'risk of genocide' in Gaza

Hamish Falconer was accused of backing a misleading motion saying a UN report found only a 'risk' of genocide when it had actually categorically declared it.

Britain's Middle East minister has apparently accepted that there is a "risk" of genocide in Gaza, but has been accused of mislesading Labour Party members over the contents of a major UN report. On Sunday, minister Hamish Falconer spoke during the Labour Party's annual conference in Liverpool in favour of a motion broadly supportive of government policy on Gaza, which Labour delegates will vote on on Monday evening. The motion, seen by Middle East Eye, notes that on 16 September, the "United Nations Independent Commission of Inquiry found a risk of genocide against Palestinians in Gaza". In fact, the UN report went further, and concluded that Israel has committed genocide and is still committing genocide in Gaza. Despite this inaccuracy, Falconer's support for the motion citing the UN report indicates an acceptance that Israel has committed human rights abuses in Gaza that justify the designation of "genocide".
