A statement on Israel's "alleged war crimes" was released by the UK-EU Parliamentary Partnership Assembly (PPA) after the body held its yearly summit, which was meant to focus on the aftermath of Brexit, in London.
The 70-member body, consisting of MPs and MEPs, has met once a year for the last six years to discuss post-Brexit relations between the UK and the EU.
The agenda for this year's meeting was lengthy, listing trade agreements, cross-country policies and plans for bettering partnerships - it did not, however, list Israel.
Despite this, the statement released after the summit included comments on “the excessive nature of the Israeli government’s actions in Gaza, leading to the deaths of more than 67,000 Palestinians and the death or injury of 50,000 children”.
