Labour party delegates have voted that Israel is committing genocide in Gaza and should be sanctioned, in a shock development at the annual party conference. The unprecedented move means that the Labour conference has officially accepted the findings of a recent UN Commission of Inquiry report, which found that Israel is committing genocide in Gaza, and has backed comprehensive sanctions on Israel and a full arms embargo. Palestine Solidarity Campaign director Ben Jamal said: "This is a huge defeat for the government, with the Labour Party finally accepting that Israel is committing genocide in Gaza. In fact, the UN report concluded that Israel has committed genocide and is still committing genocide in Gaza. Britain recognised a Palestinian state last week but has rejected calls to denounce Israel's actions in Gaza as genocide.
