SNP Westminster leader Stephen Flynn has blasted the UK government for not backing United Nations calls for a ceasefire in the Israel-Hamas conflict.
Flynn hit out during Prime Minister's questions, saying to Rishi Sunak: “If the current actions of the Israeli government continue then it is estimated that almost 1,400 more children will die between now and Christmas Day.
“In the United Nations last night, our friends and allies in France, in Ireland, in Canada, in Spain and in Australia, they joined with 148 other nations to vote with courage, care and compassion for a ceasefire. The UK, they shamefully abstained.
"How can the Prime Minister possibly explain why 153 nations are wrong yet Westminster is right?”
Sunak responded by saying that he has been pushing Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to open up the Kerem Shalom crossing so that more aid can flow in to the people of Gaza.
