UK’s politician and Baroness Sayeeda Warsi condemned in strong words the deadliest bombings in Gaza. She also lambasted the influential leaders who are aiding Israeli bombings and keeping mum on civilians killing, including women and children.
She extended her support for Palestinians and called for an end to bloodshed in Gaza. Warsi termed the Gaza bombings “cold blooded murder” and argued, “how long will we stand by and allows Gazans to be slaughtered?”
Sayeeda Hussain Warsi, Baroness Warsi, is a British lawyer, politician. She remained a member of the House of Lords and served as co-chairwoman of the Conservative Party from 2010 to 2012.
In 2012, she was Senior Foreign Office minister and Warsi has stepped down from her government position in protest against its Gaza policy, condemning it as “morally indefensible.”
Lady Warsi made her resignation public via Twitter, expressing deep regret and citing her inability to continue supporting the government’s stance on #Gaza.
In her resignation letter, Warsi criticized the government’s approach and language during the Gaza crisis, deeming it morally wrong and detrimental to Britain’s national interests and global reputation.
She highlighted the inconsistency with international justice and the rule of law, asserting that for the UK to play a constructive role in resolving the Middle East crisis, it must act as an honest mediator—a role she believes the current government is not fulfilling.
Chancellor George Osborne responded swiftly, labeling her decision unnecessary and affirming the government’s commitment to pursuing peace in the region.
He highlighted ongoing efforts, mentioning a tentative ceasefire in place, expressing hope for its stability.
