Sir Keir Starmer resisted pressure from an Independent MP to describe the war in Gaza as 'genocide' during Prime Minister's Questions. He stated that he was well aware of the definition of genocide and had never referred to it as such. The MP argued that genocide is about intent, not just numbers, and accused the Israeli government and IDF of explicit intent in their actions. The Prime Minister responded by referencing a previous incident and reiterated that he has never described the situation in Gaza as genocide.
