The decision comes after the Palestinian Centre for Human Rights (PCHR) and the Public Interest Law Centre (PILC) filed a 240-page dossier to the Met’s War Crimes Team in April last year.

The PILC said the report detailed the alleged involvement of the 10 British nationals, including dual citizens, in the “targeted killings of civilians and aid workers, indiscriminate attacks on civilian areas, attacks on hospitals and protected sites, and the forced transfer and displacement of civilians”.

The Met’s decision comes after The Guardian reported last month the closure of a foreign office unit tracking potential breaches of international law by Israel in Gaza and Lebanon due to funding cuts.

    Every time I hear about Israel I further cement my belief in shadow governments.

    They won’t investigate because they support the war crimes being committed. To the UK government, Palestinians aren’t fully people.

    Kind of sounds like tRump’s first term when he decided to stop keeping track of COVID infection numbers.

    Just keep sticking your head in the sand UK.
